Lädt ... Nobody's Childvon Victoria Jenkins
Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  RobinLovesReading | Oct 25, 2019 |   The book was off the hook! There were so many stories going on in here with characters and crime all over the place. I was like WTF is going on? This is cray, cray. And, I loved it. The author wrote these side stories without letting you in on who the character is, so you can only guess, and guess, and then try to guess again. I know I was all over the place with my guesses (yeah they were mostly wrong). The crimes are heinous and will give you the creeps. And the jaw dropping ending will have you going "No Way!!" I love this series and can't wait for the next one! Thanks to Bookouture and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. (  ) debkrenzer | Jun 21, 2018 | The other problem I had with the book is that I was not feeling the main female leads, Alex and Chloe. They didn't really show their strong personalities. Thus when you combine the fact that the story was moving at a slow pace and the two main leads were not very interesting, this made for some difficult reading. I did stick with this book to the half way point. This is because somewhere, I was hoping that these issues were improve for me. When it was apparent that this was not going to be the case, I did jump ahead to the last several chapters in this book. I didn't feel like I had missed anything great in thee last several chapters. I might give this author another try in the future but for now, this book did not do it for me. (  ) Cherylk | Jun 3, 2018 | Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

On a damp October day, a body is found in an abandoned hospital, too burnt to be identified, but Detective Alex King knows that every victim is someone's daughter or son. Pushing aside her own troubles, Alex puts everything into finding the killer, but when someone else is found dead, she begins to suspect that the body in the hospital was just the first of many. Just as Alex uncovers a heartbreaking link between the victims, she finds her own safety under threat. Is this a figure from her past hell-bent on revenge, or could the murderer be even nearer than she thinks? Alex is running out of time. Can she catch the killer before they take another life, or will they get to her first? A completely unputdownable detective thriller that will keep you up all night.

Alex and Chloe, incredibly close since they began working together, are now in a strained relationship. But, being the professionals that they are, they work tirelessly hard to solve, not only the first two crimes, but other horrific crimes that occur in quick procession. Just as Alex realizes that there is indeed a link between the victims, someone from her past is intent on taking her life. At least, that is what she is fairly certain of.
This story is told from several perspectives, and this is done remarkably well. Each and every person is completely understandable, and, in some cases, elicited compassion. This led to making it utterly impossible to coming close to guessing whoever was responsible for all of the crimes being committed. What a fast-paced story. Boy did I get the chills more than once.
This book was incredible. Simply said. I could not put it down, except to take a brief break. I read the first 61% in less than a couple hours, and it took no time to finish the rest of the book. I cannot say enough how captivating this book was. From the brutal attacks, from the investigation, from what Alex was experiencing, from the characterization...well, it all worked amazingly well. I eagerly read all three books back-to-back and am incredibly impressed with the talented Victoria Jenkins. I am eagerly awaiting book 4 in this engaging series.
Many thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC to review in exchange for my honest opinion. (
