This book explored the mind and life of a serial killer’s unique style! If you like tense, edge of your seat, perverted thrillers, then this one is for you. Valencia is determined to get to the bottom of it, but that puts her on the killer’s radar. Excellent psychological thriller!

He knows where you are. He knows where you're going. He's waiting for you.

Seven years ago, Valencia's best friend was brutally murdered, and she's the one to find the body. A man is convicted and serving time. But there's still so much they don't know about the murder. Valencia's never been convinced he's guilty, and now she's ready to look for the truth. But what she discovers shocks her to the core.

A serial killer of women, kills his victims by the method of the highest bidders choice for their entertainment.

Valencia is not convinced that the man in prison for her best friend's murder is truly guilty of it. She decides to do her own investigation and is quickly in the crosshairs of the real killer, who murders his victims by the choice that the highest bidder makes. A little different to the usual type of serial killer, but I found it quite an enjoyable read.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #JoffeBooks and the author #DylanHJones for my ARC of #HearHerScream in exchange for an honest review.

I've seen quite a few films with this vibe, the red room dark net type thing and people using murder as a sport to be bid on and this was a good take on that idea! It's well written and had some good twists. I also liked it wad more about the investigation into the friends murder and such. A quick and easy read with a relatively original plot line and some pretty decently written characters

A serial killer is targeting women to kill for the highest bidder. The method of death is determined by the bidder for their entertainment.

Valencia sets out to investigate if her friends murderer is truly guilty. Working for a podcast as a researcher she is determined to find out the truth. If he isn't guilty, who is?

Her investigation gains her the attention of real killer!

This was an interesting read, it maintained a fast pace and would definitely suit murder mystery lovers.

I read Hear Her Scream by Dylan H. Jones in one day. The ending was good. The story started strong, but the Cyrus Booth character was quite despicable. I didn't like some of the derogatory words used when characters were interacting with each other. Usually, that doesn't bother me, but for some reason, the use of certain words in this book bothered me, and sometimes I had a hard time continuing reading.

I did like Valencia and her tenacity. Hear Her Scream is a satisfying thriller with a good twist.

I would recommend this book, and I may check out more books by this author.

This book is based on an extremely novel concept. A serial killer is targeting women, but the method of their death will be chosen by the highest bidder.

So, according to this remarkably sick system, someone is giving the people (the perverts?) what they want. The idea carries chilling echoes of the "snuff film" era.

Valencia lost her best friend to this murderer seven years ago and, traumatised from that experience, she is not at all convinced that the person convicted for her friend's death is the right man. If not, it means that the killings will continue as long as he is free.

Unfortunately, Valencia's determination to pursue the truth puts her in the killer's crosshairs...

This is a gripping story and the pace is tautly maintained throughout. And on useful concept well delivered, it is what a read for those who like reading serial killer stories as well as those who enjoy nail-biting suspense. It gets 3.5 stars.
