Plot
Well, call me at TV detective because I didn’t solve diddly squat. No, seriously. As Hannah’s story unfolded my mind kept racing with the age-old question, “who done it?”
Breathe in, Bleed Out (sidenote, did anyone else’s keep singing in their head Bush’s song Machinehead or was it just me and I’m dating myself?) was fast paced with twists and turns that leave you questioning everyone and everything. Well, at least it did that for me. I loved that about this book though, if too predictable my interest would fade fast. I blew through this book, in a good way because I needed to know what had happened.
I liked Hannah’s group of friends even though I don’t feel like we got to know them too well and I felt like some of them were probably not supposed to be likeable. Miles was my favorite though. I liked Hannah a lot and empathized with her loss.
Overall, this thriller maintains suspense by encouraging suspicion of multiple characters, leading readers to believe they know the identity of the killer while keeping the outcome uncertain until the very end. Bravo Brian McAuley!
