Reviews with content warning for Blood - None Shall Sleep

This book is…interesting, to say the least. It’s a different style than I’m used to, but I think it works. Love the relationship between Emma and Travis (MISSED opportunity for a romance), how they deal with their trauma, Cooper, the Gutmunssons, great. I didn’t understand HOW they found the killer,

the INCEST was…yeah. But the WAY he killed people, and SIEGFRIED? Yes.

And this book gets a thumbs-up from me because IT MADE ME GAG. MORE THAN ONCE. Ridiculous. Cool read.

criminal minds but in the early years of the BAU. and with teens

this is my second time reading a Ellie Marney novel. and i can say i love this one better than The Killing Code.

however there is two or so chapters i wish we didn’t have (spoiler!! we’re in the killers point of view) which i don’t think we needed. i would have liked if we were shocked or surprised by the killer. although Simon was shocking haha. him the the second last chapter!!!

due to that,
4.5 stars

I loved this book! The characters were all very well written and the writing style is unique but easy to get used to. Emma is an amazing character and her growth was very well done. Simon is intriguing and complicated and creepy and I really hope we get more of him in book 2. Overall and amazing book with great characters and great interactions between those characters.

This book was way different from what I normally read, but I still really enjoyed it! You can tell the author took a lot of time researching and it really payed off! I will definitely be reading the second one at some point! I feel like this book is really under hyped sadly (i mean look at the cover it's gorgeous). So overall I really enjoyed it! I feel like the ending was perfect as well.
