This is the 8th book in the series. I did read this as a standalone. I couldn't put it down and it was predictable. Great book.

Copy kindly received via NetGalley for an honest review.

An interesting read with great characters. Nikki had her work cut out for her to find out who the killer was. Sometimes its not a good idea to go snooping in the past. Good ending.

It is a fantastic story, exhilarating plot, well developed characters, and a well executed shocking ending. I read in one day, unputdownable and very addictive. Recommend to every thriller reader.

I’m not sure I realised I was reading a book mid series but it’s made me want to go back to the start and read them all. Powerfully written and lots of characters to get your teeth into so I really loved it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

This is the 8th installment in the Nikki Hunt series, but can also be read as a standalone.

I have really enjoyed this series and was excited to be able to read this ARC. Stacy Green's books are always fast paced and have lots of twists and this one was no exception! I could not put this one down and it kept me up late at night! Looking forward to book 9 in this series!

4 stars!

I forgot I had this one on my kindle. I have read another series by this author but not this one, guess I should go back to book 1 and start over. The story stands alone though I know I'm missing character growth.

A murder from two decades ago was bungled by the authorities and a documentary is bringing other clues to life.

Another murder in the same house, is it connected or a coincidence. Nikki and her team are on the hunt for a missing girl. The bodies are piling up, why were they killed? Did they find out something?

I had no idea, the author did such a great job spinning my head. I really enjoyed watching the pieces fall into place, although there was a heart stopping moment at the end. Will they all come out of this alive?

Great story, I highly recommend it.

My thanks to Bookouture for an eARC via NetGalley of ‘Bone Lake’ by Stacy Green.

‘Bone Lake’ is Book 8 in Stacy Green’s series of crime thrillers featuring F.B.I. Special Agent Nikki Hunt, based in Minnesota.

This was my first experience of Green’s writing, though enough background was provided that I felt quite comfortable coming in at this point.

In 2001 Amy Kline and her parents were viciously murdered in their home. Only ten-year-old Matt Kline was able to escape. Now twenty years later with the case unsolved a Netflix true crime series has been produced. On the night that it airs Alexia Perry, a true crime enthusiast, has rented the Kline house, now an Airbnb, to watch with a group of friends.

The next morning the cleaners find a shocking scene and the F.B.I. is called in. There is blood everywhere and two young women are dead and a male friend seriously wounded. In addition, Alexia is missing. In the course of the investigation Nikki soon discovers that Matt Kline still owns the house. While he is naturally a person of interest, Nikki feels for him given that she too is a survivor. No further details to avoid spoilers.

This novel had me hooked from its opening and proved to be a page-turner with plenty of twists before the final reveal of whodunnit.

Overall, I found ‘Bone Lake’ an engaging FBI procedural that left me eager to read more of the series as well as future books.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

This is my review of Bone Lake.

While this book can be read as a standalone, as the author does a great job in supplying background information, I would recommend you read the series in order to get a better appreciation of the growth of the characters. It is such a great series, so sit back and enjoy!

FBI Special Agent and criminal profiler Nikki Hunt heads up the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) that deals with crimes in the jurisdictions of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Tyler, Nikki’s ex-husband had been murdered at the hands of a serial killer Nikki had been chasing. Nikki is now married to Rory who is in the process of adopting Lacey, Nikki’s six-year-old daughter. Rory owns a successful construction company.

Special Agent Nikki Hunt is called to a home on Bone Lake, to assist Washington County Sheriff Miller, who she had worked with before on many cases. Now at the crime scene, Nikki is shocked to find blood all over the floor and two young women who clearly fought for their lives. But the house was the scene of another murder twenty years ago. The killer was never caught. The only survivor of the original massacre, Matt Kline, still owns the house, who claims he rents it out and hasn’t been there for years.

Nikki’s team soon identify the girls and determine they had a party the night they were killed, and one attendee, their friend Alexia, is missing…

Nikki is determined to find Alexia. Nikki and her team learn that Alexia was fascinated with the original Bone Lake case. The team finds many of Alexia’s notebooks about serial killers. They then learn that Alexia was having a relationship with Matt.

Nikki must find Matt and get the truth and find Alexia alive, before it’s too late…

An absolutely gripping and totally addictive thriller that will keep you racing through the pages all night long.

Many thanks to the author, Bookouture and NetGalley for my digital copy.

I adore this series. Nikki is a fantastic character and I love her team. She also has an adorable family although they aren’t featured as much in this one. As with all the books in this series, I was kept guessing until the end. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked. It was such an intriguing crime and it was interesting seeing them try to solve a cold case in order to help find the missing girl. There are a couple of suspects to throw you off and I couldn’t put it down.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

This is book number 8 in the Nikki Hunt series. I haven’t had a chance to read the rest of the series yet but can’t wait to catch up! Highly recommend this book😊

Special Agent Nikki Hunt receives a call to head to Bone Lake when two girls are found murdered. It appears that the victims fought their attacker as there is blood evidence all over their house.

The house is the scene of a crime that just so happens to have happened twenty years ago. The killer was never found by the police. Is the same person hunting again or is this the work of a copycat killer?

It is soon determined that another girl was at the house and is now missing. Is she still alive?

The sole survivor of the original crime, Matt Kline, was just a kid when it occurred. Is he involved in this in some way?

Nikki will have to dig deep into the lives of all the parties to get to the truth. If she plays her cards right, Nikki may just solve this crime and the one that happened twenty years ago!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
