It was a slow start but it picked up. I did enjoy the story line and how it was written. Historical fiction isn’t something I truly enjoy to read but Noelle did a great job with this one.

I picked up this book primarily on the authors name. I enjoyed and LOVED her other books. Some of my favorite stories of the year are written by her.
I had something different in mind going into this story and the whole historical bit threw me. I am not the target audience for this book.
I enjoyed the darkness, the gruesome details, and the way religion was depicted, but it was painful to get there as I my heart wasn’t into it!

Having read Noelle Ihli's other thrillers, I was not expecting *None Left to Tell* to take the direction it did, and unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. This book feels more like historical fiction than a traditional thriller, focusing on the events surrounding the Mountain Meadows Massacre of 1857. It follows three women—Lucy, a determined survivor; Katrina, a protective mother; and Sally, a reluctant fourth wife—and weaves their stories around a tragic and lesser-known chapter of history. While Ihli’s writing is beautifully crafted and her ability to draw the reader in is clear, the shift in tone and genre made it feel different from her usual work, and I found it harder to connect with. The book is deeply emotional and heartbreaking, but be mindful of the heavy subject matter and trigger warnings. Thank you to NetGalley for the complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a miss for me but I think those who like
Historical
Fiction may really enjoy it so I went right down the middle with my rating
It was well written over all it just wasn’t a thriller. O don’t enjoy regular historical fiction which is what this is despite being billed as a thriller.
I am thankful to have gotten an eARC for free from Netgalley and Dynamite Books to enjoy which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.
My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars and I rarely round up.
⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again

I am a fan of this author and I was thrilled to see this was based on actual events. Unfortunately, it was very much a miss for me. It was an incredibly slow start and I found it difficult to get into. I did not find there to be any elements of a thriller (I noted it being pushed as a historical thriller). The book is told from multiple POVs throughout but it felt quite dry and monotone compared to other books of hers that I have read.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a captivating read that held my attention from start to finish. The story was well-paced, and the characters felt real and engaging. I’m grateful to the publisher for providing an early copy—it was a pleasure to read!

I have mixed feelings about this one. I love this author but this is much different than her previous works. I had never heard of this historical event and for some reason I found the first part slow and hard to get through. But as the book went on, I became more invested and really enjoyed it. 3.5 stars

If you're looking for a traditional Noelle Ilhi thriller, this is not it. As much as this book pulled me in, it was definitely a different writing style, and one in which I would describe more as a historical fiction book.
With that being said, this book is based on the events surrounding the Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857. You're introduced to three women: Lucy, a strong willed and stand your ground woman who refuses to run away; Katrina, a mother of 4 , traveling west and hell bent in protecting her family; and Sally, a "gifted" fourth wife to a man she's never met.
Ilhi draws you into their stories while simultaneously introducing the reader to a tragic event that is not well known.This book is heartbreaking and devistating, but beautifully written. Pay attention to the trigger warnings.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this book for an unbiased review.

This was such a heartbreaking book based on the true events of the Mountain Meadows Massacre that took place in Utah in 1857. I was not familiar with this part of history and appreciate all the research that the author put into writing this book. The story is told through the eyes of three strong women, and although many parts were hard to read, I'm glad that they are given a voice here, and I hope that this book brings more awareness to this tragic event.
Make sure to read the afterward as the author gives lots of good background and information.
This is my first book by this author, although I have others on my TBR shelf and am anxious to get to them soon!
Thank you, @netgalley and @xpressobooktours, for the #gifted e-arc!

Thank you for allowing me to read this.
I thought this would be like her typical thrillers, but soon found this was more historical.
I am a fan of her writing, and have read all books so far.
This one was fantastic.
Very captivating, well written and thought provoking.
So much emotional depth.
Would recommend to others.

This book is a heart wrenching story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I had never heard of this horrific event and appreciate how hard this must have been to write. You can tell a lot of research and time went into writing this book. This book is slow paced, detailed, and graphic, and I found myself having to stop a few times because of getting emotional. This book was really well written and is one that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. Please read the Afterword at the end of this book for further insight.
Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Everything I read by Noelle is always SOOOO good! She is by far one of my favorite authors and I am so honored that I was able to read a copy early. I absolutely LOVED it!

This book was soo good yet so heartbreaking. I had never heard of this story before. I am shocked, to say the least. Every time something happened in the book, I was just speechless. So much sadness and loss but the ones who perserved, just wow! I liked the multiple POVs. It helped tell the story of different sides (Mormons, Indians, and Gentiles). I cried so many times throughout this book! The afterword was so insightful and again left me speechless.
I highly recommend this book!

None Left to Tell
If you love a thriller that keeps you guessing until the last page, this book is for you!!
Whenever you think you have it figured out, the rug is pulled out from under you.
The story unfolds with an intensity that makes it impossible to put down.
Packed with unexpected twists and an impossible-to-predict plot, making it a wild ride from start to finish.
I have enjoyed all of Noelle's books, a cult classic!!

Fantastic! This book was so tough to read emotionally. And it was written so well with each intricate storyline connecting. The warning of the reality of this book made it that much more heartfelt and its so sad to say this is our history that we can't change. Love this author, cant wait for more!
Thank you NetGallery for the opportunity to read this eARC.

This was heartbreaking and riveting in equal measure. I’ll admit that I was painfully ignorant of the Mountain Meadows Massacre before reading this book, but Noelle West Ihli has made me want to learn everything I can and more. The forward at the start of this book had me hooked from the word go. Can’t wait for this one to be in shops in the UK because I will be buying for my friends and family!

None Left to Tell is heart wrenching, keep you on your toes historical fiction thriller. Taking place in the mid 1800s in Mountain Meadows, UT. The book starts off slow, but I promise it’s worth it! Absolutely recommeny to anybody who enjoys historical fiction!

None Left to Tell by Noelle West Ihli
Thank you to @DynamiteBooks and Netgalley for my #gifted copy.
4.5⭐️
Noelle W. Ihli has done it again with another engrossing read! While this was a historical thriller it kept me so drawn in with all the families. 3 women’s lives are connected in a brutal way as we weave with through their paths during this trying time. I really just didn’t know what going to come next! The pacing was great for me, something always seemed to be happening and grabbing my attention. The story is strongly based on Therapy Mountain Meadows Massacre. I hadn’t heard of it before this book and that’s a whole rabbit hole to go down!

Historical fiction is not usually what I go for but I enjoy Noelle’s books a lot and wanted to give it a try. This novel covers the Mountain Meadows Massacre- a true historical event that happened between cross-country settlers, Indians, Mormons. It was very eye opening and informative and I learned a lot about an event I never knew existed. Definitely not a feel-good read but I will be thinking about it for a long time 😅

If you are looking for a book where everyone lives happily ever after this is not that book. However if you are a fan of historical fiction, or historical fiction based on true events, especially heartbreaking events then you will probably love this book. It's well researched and well written and the book held my attention but some parts were very heavy and hard to read
