-This story is based in the Summer of 1958—a string of murders plagues the Midwest. The victims are found in their cars and in their homes—even in their beds—their bodies drained, but with no blood anywhere.
September 19- the Carlson family is slaughtered in their Minnesota farmhouse, and the case gets its first lead: 15-year-old Marie Catherine Hale is found at the scene. She is covered in blood from head to toe, and at first, she’s mistaken for a survivor. But not a drop of the blood is hers.
Michael Jensen, son of the local sheriff, yearns to become a journalist and escape his small-town. He never imagined that the biggest story in the country would fall into his lap, or that he would be pulled into the investigation when Marie decides that he is the only one she will confess to.
As Marie recounts her version of the story, it falls to Michael to find the truth: What really happened the night that the Carlsons were killed? And how did one girl wind up in the middle of all these bodies?
💭My review: 🐻
I was soo excited about this book, it had everything I love in books, mysteries and vampires and crime. The story didn't disappoint but that ending was just meh. I was a little let down by it. It was just so simple for a pretty strange story. I really enjoyed the mysteries and creepiness of the story with so many details and backstory. I had a very hard time putting the book down. I think the author did an awesome job. I really enjoyed her writing. I'm a big @kendareblake fan. I also LOVE the book cover it's really attractive. I really enjoyed this book and it's perfect for the spooky season coming up. I also think that the relation between Micheal and Marie is pretty cool.
I give it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to @netgalley and @harpercollinsch@hccfrenzy for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.
