Blood Lines by Angela Marsons
4.0
not exactly my fave Kim Stone novel but i still immensely liked it. it started slow for me. it was intriguing but not exactly that thrilling. at least not until around 50% of the novel.
there were two entirely different things being tackled here. there's the murder case which somehow reminded me of Silent Scream in terms of the killer's plans; and there's Alex Thorne which, of course, was a very interesting addition to the story. there's more of Kim's relationship with her mother and more details on what went on between them. at first, i thought that Alex's side of the story would be connected to the main case but it turns out that i was wrong. they were not related and that's also fine because we get to see more of Kim :)
all in all, Blood Lines is a thrilling novel but still can't top Play Dead and Lost Girls for me. also, now i can't wait to read what's next for Kim Stone!
