One by Jane Blythe
5.0
One by Jane Blythe is an amazing and terrifying suspense thriller novel that does not disappoint.
A killer is in the loose murdering families and leaving one survivor. They are seemingly unconnected but there is so much more so this horrific story.
This story is so intriguing and has many twist and turns. The events and clues throughout keep you guessing right until the end. The characters are darkly complex which adds to the darkness of the tale. The romance part of the story fits in well and is done in the right balance so that it is believable.
While I really like Annabelle and Xander’s characters, as they have both been through so much trauma and heartache and yet are still both stronger than they realise, I could not help but be wowed by the killers character. They are so evil, cruel and totally psychotic. It is clear that he begins this completely unaware of how much blood lust he has in him and he begins to relish in killing people, abandoning any morals and sense of reality along the way. The killer is written so terrifyingly and awful that my heart bang to pound whenever the story brought us back to them. Unhinged, obsessed and ruthless.
This story is very graphic and gripping and a wonderfully terrifying ride. I read this book in one go as I could not put it down and I'm so glad it is part of a series. I cannot wait to read them all. I will warn, again, that this book is pretty graphic and has rape content in it although not described in gory detail.
Buckle up and do not read before bed!
