Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Pretty standard serial killer/slasher book. When Ari wakes at the bottom of a well, she struggles to piece together her kidnapping. Alternating with the serial killer's voice, the story slowly unravels their stories. I was extremely disappointed with this book. Ari came across as a 12 year old, not the 17 year old that she was supposed to be. She was a very weak character, despite the author trying to paint her otherwise. I also thought the serial killer was extremely unrealistic. The characters were just wrong, they lacked realism. Overall, a bust. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Blood Will Out (not a fan of the title) was a quick read that had maybe one shocking moment. Was this well written? No. Was it entertaining? Yes – it reminded me of a Criminal Minds episode. Will I be reading more by this author? Probably not.Ari wakes up to find herself injured, in a dark place, with no recollection of what happened. All she knows that whoever has her will be coming back to finish the job. *Received an ARC from NetGalley* I so wish I hadn't requested this book. THE AUTHOR SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED TRIGGER WARNINGS! I was one chapter in and ugh. Animal slaughter. That too, in fine details. I skipped, skipped and ended up on the protagonist remembering her past life, which was totally boring. And there were so many more problems! For example, metaphor. I'm quoting the book here: "The darkness pressed down, a physical weight as if she were pinned under two tons of water." Seriously. When does water ever pin you down? Is that even scientifically possible, much less literally? And the writing did not interest me at all. I did not want to know who the killer was. I didn't care. And I guess that says just how good a "thriller" this one was. no reviews | add a review
"Ari Sullivan is alive--for now. She wakes at the bottom of a cistern, confused, injured and alone, with only the shadowy recollection of a low-pitched voice and a gloved hand. No one can hear her screams. And the person who put her there is coming back. The killer is planning a gruesome masterpiece, a fairytale tableau of innocence and blood, meticulously designed. Until now, Ari was happy to spend her days pining for handsome, recent-arrival Stroud Bellows, fantasizing about their two-point-four-kids-future together. Safe in her small hometown of Dempsey Hollow. But now her community has turned very dangerous -- and Ari may not be the only intended victim. Told in alternating perspectives of predator and prey, Blood Will Out is a gripping and terrifying read."-- No library descriptions found. |
