Reviews with content warning for Gore - Thirteen

Such an interesting premise!! The killer is on the jury…

So many twists and turns in this book. All were enjoyable, even if some were unbelievable. I didn’t mind buying in because over all it was just a super fun read.

There was a lot of detailed descriptions of violence which made me squirm a bit. There were also a number of typos I noticed and the writing style is train of thought style, with short, incomplete sentences. They fit the fast pace but once in a while they seemed a little egregious.

Overall, this did remind me of an episode of Criminal Minds (one of my favorite shows) and I would definitely read more of this series!

Wow.. I am impressed. This was a really well written book. Felt like I was reading a law and order episode but better. The main guy is a sick son of a B.. I enjoyed following with the plot and all the twists and turns. Some I didn’t even know until the very last few pages.

This book was INCREDIBLE! Every time I thought I had figured out the twist, I was wrong. Love that in a thriller. This has a very criminal minds vibe!

I didn't realize this was book 4 in a series but it was easy to jump in and understand the characters.

Within the thriller category, this is one of the best there is right now. It is fast paced and really engaging; one of those books you read within two days, because you can't really bring yourself to stop reading. The plot was developed quite well and I didn't see the final twists coming at all! The book fails the Bechtel test, but those looking for a tense thriller with good entertainment value will be happy with this book.

I didn't realise this was book 4, but honestly, it didn't seem to matter too much. I picked up the character fairly quickly and it made me want to read the previous books.

I enjoyed this story, I've never read a book like this. The murderer in on the Jury which sounds like you know who they are and what they do, but it does take a while for the story to unwrap completely, keeping you gripped.
