I liked this book and gave it a good review. The premise of predators using the Internet was very real
and the author did a very good job with the material.

Solid mystery, a bit too much torture porn and just a touch too complex.

Graphic: Rape
Lo correcto sería 3.5 porque se me hizo interesante pero esperaba que abordara más sobre la psicología del violador (vale recalco que eso es lo que yo deseaba) además de que siento que ocurrió muy rápido el desenlace (falto más interacción de la detective con el violador?), lo que lo compensa es que es un libro fácil del leer.

I always have a weak spot for detective thrillers, and I just couldn't resist buying a copy of Blue Blood when I first saw it. I didn't realize it was actually the second book of a series at the time, but thankfully the story can be read as a stand-alone as well. This translation from a Danish crime writer (also called Call Me Princess in some translations) was without doubt an entertaining ride. The writing style was easy to like, and I just loved the setting in Denmark. I was drawn to the story and plot straight away, and found myself literally flying through the pages... Trigger warnings are in place for rape and violence, but the subject is really well handled and reading more about the dangers of online dating is definitely intriguing. The main characters Louise Rick was quite easy to connect to, and I didn't feel I was missing too much background information by not reading the first book (I'm not saying I don't want to now though). I could have done without the cheating/romance subplot, but thankfully the main focus was on the case itself. I liked how things developed and even though I had some ideas about how things would end, Blue Blood also had some surprises in store. Fast, entertaining and just the right amount of suspense... I will definitely be reading more of Sara Blaedel's books.
