Review

I think this is Jane Blythe's best so far! She has taken all of the characters we have come to know and love and given them a new dimension of depth as parents, as friends and family rallying in a time of crisis that is off the charts gut-wrenching! - Tome Tender Book Blog ★★★★★

Best one yet. Mind blowing. Terror and horror fill every page as the end builds to a soul crushing tension that made me put if down, regroup, catch my breath, then pick it up again. I don't know how she can top this. Give me more. - Fundinmental ★★★★★

I swear this author loves to rip my heart out and slowly put it back together again! - Sweet & Spicy Reads ★★★★★

Wow. This book is amazing and I love the suspense and mystery that it holds. - My Book Blog ★★★★★

This is another great book in the series and I have loved watching all of these characters grow over the series. - Sassy Southern Book Blog ★★★★★

Nine will grab you by the through and make your hairs stand up. I did not and could not rush through this book. Jane will have you explore the dark side of the world and the monsters that creep in the shadows. She shows us they do exist. She is the one and only author that I keep coming back for more of the dark side. - Crystal's Book World ★★★★★

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another thrilling story
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020

    Oh boy! This book starts off straight into the kidnapping and the action continues leaving you with your heart in your mouth, or so it seems, at times.

    The ‘evil’ character in this story made my blood boil red hot with anger from the beginning and it only got worse as he progressively became worse. I seriously could have dropped a bomb on the wasted excuse for a human being. That’s how much you are made to feel reading this story, the emotions are intense at times because the writing is very detailed and so descriptive.

    Be warned: this story comes with a barrel load of emotions that you seem to turn around in over and over. Mainly I think due to the fact that the victims are the characters we have come to know and like throughout the series but also because of the fabulous descriptions and the way you can easily visualise each scene. I will admit there were times when I had to put my kindle down, take a breath then continue. It is a very powerful story.

    Unpredictable is one word to describe this book, the twists and turns are terrific. I will admit I was shocked at times and I may have cursed the baddie a time or two as well, that is how involved you get😂. Never think you know what’s going on because something always pops up to surprise you.

    Bring on Ten, the last book in this sensational series.

    Another really scary and thrilling read - the familial love worked to deaden the efforts of the bad guys and nature versus nurture showed how love (not necessarily for family) can make a difference. Great backstories again and some seriously scary means of torturing people.

    Someone is targeting girls from a local high school and it is up to Detectives Ryan Xander and Paige Hood. It hits close to home when Paige realizes that her daughter, Hayley, has tutored one of the girls.
    Yet the killer seems to be infatuated with the number nine and the detectives know they are running out of time when another girl is taken.
    Unfortunately for Ryan and his wife Sofia they are having their own problems with their daughter Sophia who recently discovered she was adopted. Now she is acting out and sneaking out with her older boyfriend, Dominic.
    Can Ryan and Paige figure out who the killer is before he strikes again?
    This is another great book in the series and I have loved watching all of these characters grow over the series I liked in this book that there was so much from the younger characters who we had gotten to know in previous books but this centered around the family drama between Ryan, Sofia and Sophie as well as Paige, Elias, and Hayley due to Hayley and Sophie being best friends. I liked that part of it stemmed from Sophie learning about her biological parents and how she reacted to the news.
    The killer was definitely a smart one and had everything meticulously planned out and was so smart about every detail. He was cold and calculated and I felt so sorry for the girls as they knew what was coming. The twist surprised me for sure and then it made me wonder and I had a few guesses!
    I thought I had some guesses but then an event happened and I changed my mind.
    It was interesting seeing Dom’s reaction to Ryan and how he wanted Dom away from Sophie. I
    understood why he didn’t want her dating him but Dom seemed to truly love her. Although I was very grateful that Hayley was trying to talk some common sense into Sophie!
    My heart started breaking part way through the book and the pinkie fingers made me so sad!! I completely understood why Ryan and Paige did what they did and I was so shocked that nobody got hurt in that exchange.
    I was somewhat sad at the end when we learn about the killer as I was disappointed for personal reasons but the fish part was terrifying!! I was proud of a certain character though for his actions!
    Looking forward to the last book! By Rebecca

    5.0 out of 5 stars An edge of your seat read
    Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2019
    I'm just going to start out by saying, OMG this book is AMAZING! Its a thriller with a mixture of YA, since you get the point of view of the teenagers, and its also got a bit of police procedural going on as well.

    From the opening pages, YOU WILL BE HOOKED!

    You get many points of view here...which oddly isn't confusing, that's how well written this book is.

    The characters are well developed. There are times when I wanted to smack a few of them, but you will be invested in all of them. Even, as I said when you wanted to smack them silly..cough cough..Sophie..

    Sophie is a character that brings up a lot of conflicting feelings. She's in a some ways very typical of the average teenager. It actually had me googling later on about when to tell your child they are adopted.

    The one thing that I really found great about this book is the way she kept the identity of the killer a secret until the end. It was really a shocker for me when things started to be revealed. Though in hindsight there are some things that should point to the killer. (So I might just be a little daft with this one)

    I can't begin to say how much I enjoyed this book. I can only say, if thrillers are your thing. You can't miss this one. I'm going back to read the other books in the series

    This book had me hooked from start to finish. The suspense was off the charts. I was just flipping pages needing to know what happens next.

    Can’t believe I’m coming to the end of this series. It’s been so good and dying to jump into book 10. Highly recommend if you love crime thrillers. Definitely not for the faint hearted though
