Absolutely brilliant! Loved this book. It kept me wondering how two different cases were linked. Highly recommended but then all her books are good !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another great book from Sibel, I love all her books.

The story grabs you right away, short chapters written from different viewpoints; police, vigilante and victim.

I whizzed through this in a day and highly recommend it if you like suspenseful crime books.

Thanks for letting me have the book to review, once I started to read it, it was impossible to leave it down and I set the alarm early this morning so I could finish it.

I love everything Sibel Hodge writes.
Seriously, she can do no wrong in my eyes. If I see she has a new novel coming out, I pounce on that.

When I saw that I got approved to read this one by the publisher, I prepared myself.

I told my boyfriend to not bother me, I settled myself on my favorite couch with a few snacks and a nice pot of tea. I pulled my blanket over me and I started reading.

Safe to stay, I did not stop reading. I finished the book in one go and went to bed around 2 AM. I had work the next day at 7, but I did not have any regrets.

This book is worth a sleepless night. This book is worth so many things.

Read it. If you want to be kept on your toes and read a very well written thriller, Sibel Hodge is the writer for you!

This book had e gripped from page one! I thought I could predict it all the way through, I was wrong! with every page it left me intrigued, wanting me, yearning to find out what happened to each and every character. This is a must read book!

In terms of character POV, Into the Darkness was one of the most unique stories I have ever read. This story is told in three different perspectives by three different people: The Detective, The Vigilante, and The Missing. The pauses in different storylines keep you holding your breath and anticipating the next piece of information given to you by the next character in the story line. I applaud the author for taking this unique approach in this book as it made the story all the more enticing. I finished this book in two days and truthfully loved every moment of it. The beginning of this story is important as it lays the foundation of the characters and the underlying issues going on in the story. With that being said, I believe the author did an excellent job at keeping every piece of the story steady and interesting; even the beginning of the story while characters, settings and point of views are still being introduced. For being someone who reads a myriad of psychothrillers/mysteries/thrillers, this was different than any I have ever read before. To anyone craving an addictive, unique, fast-paced, page-turning thriller, Into the Darkness is the book for you.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an advance copy of Into the Darkness, a stand alone novel set in the countryside, north of London.

DS Warren Carter is called out to investigate the murder of a retired couple in their secluded home. With few clues and and a reduced staff he has his work cut out trying to make sense of it. In the meantime, Mitchell receives a call from a fellow SAS comrade's widow asking for help in finding her daughter, Toni, who has gone missing.

Into the Darkness is a well plotted novel with good pace and a certain amount of tension but for me it isn't an absorbing read as I don't like the format which I find distracting and choppy. The novel has three distinct voices, The Missing, The Detective and The Vigilante, and all are narrated in the first person. The chapters are helpfully titled to let the reader know who is speaking and thus avoids confusion. The first person narration should engender reader identification with the characters but the constant switching of point of view means that there is little time to get to know them or settle into their rhythm.

The plotting is well done with incremental discoveries leading to an action packed finale. It may be said that Mitchell's discoveries come rather easily but they move it along at a brisk pace. Warren's investigation is much slower and less impactful but he still gets there at the same time. Toni's narrative adds nothing important to plot development except a sense of helplessness. There is little to be learned from it, in the sense that it covers a well worn path regular crime fiction readers will know well as being currently on trend.

Into the Darkness will, despite its dark subject matter, appeal to many readers as it is well done but it's just not to my taste.

This story follows 3 characters, A Policeman, a Vigilante and an abducted girl. The chapters alternate between each character and slowly intertwine. The story was fast paced enough to keep my interest. It starts with a double shooting for the police to investigate and then moves to the vigilante tasked with locating a missing girl. Then to the girl herself held captive and in very grave danger.

What can I say LOVED IT.... big fat 5 stars, this is not my first rodeo reading Sibel Hodge and I tell you, this author can do no wrong, so well written and pulling it altogether... wow, utterly fantastic, so much so I couldn't go to bed until I got to the end, my heart was in my mouth, will he get there on time, will she be saved or be brutally tortured and murdered for the pure pleasure of evil watching!!!!

This book is told in multiple narratives from The Missing (Toni), The Vigilante (Mitchell) and The Detective (DS Warren Carter), Mitchell is contacted by Toni's mother to help her find her missing daughter, DS Carter is investigating a double murder with seemingly no motive..... this book reaches into the darkest depths of depravity, it had me hooked, I literally could not read it fast enough, my husband thinks I'm crazy as I didn't realise I was gasping and quite vocal to my kindle whilst reading it ha ha.

I can't give enough praise to Sibel Hodge, this was my perfect book so thank you to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing Ltd for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review..... forever grateful

Hodge provides another superb read. Great page turner with twists and turns to keep you guessing. Looking forward to more

DS Warren is looking forward to taking it a little easier in his policing career. He’s not ready to retire, but he believes his new post will bring him some much-needed rest. Instead, he’s called out to investigate the murder of a seemingly normal, average couple, but what he uncovers will prove this couple was anything but average. Tori is an 18-year-old with an unusual interest in the dark side of life and that interest has led her to the Dark Web, a place where unsavory people meet and plan terrible things. Her interest doesn’t go unnoticed and before long, the teen finds herself at the mercy of some of the predators she studied online. This story is a sobering look at what darkness lurks just beneath the surface of our world and demonstrates just how far a mother will go to save her child

I devoured this book in one setting. Another triumph for this author. The books tosses and turns between the three main characters stories as the mystery of a double murder is investigated. The clever way the stories are intertwined kept me gripped until the last page!

The story starts off with a murder of two pensioners of which DS Carter is sent to investigate. There are not many clues and he has limited staff on the case and is being pushed into cracking the case quickly. While this investigation is going on we meet Corrine, whose daughter has suddenly gone missing which is unlike her. The police seem to be doing nothing so she calls on Mitchell, an ex SAS Soldier. Mitchell will do whatever he can to find Corrine’s daughter Toni as he feels guilty about how her husband died whilst on duty with him.

The chapters are told in sections of The Detective, The Vigilante and The Missing. They are easy to follow and the characters are well developed and likeable. I enjoyed the story, it was fast paced, didn’t give much away until the second section when it all came together very nicely.

Many thanks to Amazon Publishing and Netgalley for my advanced copy of this book.

A fantastic storyline, edge of seat drama makes for a nail-biting read. A must read for all crime/thriller fans.

I have been very lucky and read quite a few good thrillers so far this year,and this is up there with the best of them.I really enjoyed it, I loved the story being told from different points of view and I liked all of the different narrators ,I wanted to know more about them and was on their side.This was a truly horrific tale and maybe not for the feint hearted although the violence was more hinted at than described in great detail.The story was fast paced and was also believable and I thought it was an exciting and well written read.,it kept me page turning and is definitely up there with the best thrillers I have read recently.Thanks to the publishers and netgalley for an ARC.

4-5 stars. Disturbing and fast paced. I enjoy the more disturbing books, so this one definitely had me gripped from the start. I thought it was written perfectly, with the multiple points of view, and definitely will be recommending in Chapter Chatter Pub!

Another book by Sibel Hodge where she is not afraid to tackle the dark side of crime. I felt the three points of view - The Missing, the Vigilante and the Detective - were depersonalised in not using their names - deliberate to indicate this sort of crime is not a one-off? Yet again a good plot which moves at great pace to a conclusion.

Many thanks to Netgalley/Sibel Hodge/Amazon Publishing for a digital copy of this title. All opinions expressed are my own.

Brilliant dark and twisting keeps you on the edge of your seat . 3 stories that are all intertwined together.

What a good read. Frightening because it has a grounding of truth. We all enjoy the internet because we are not aware of the dark side. This story makes you aware of many aspects of it. The story is told by three caractures. The policeman, the vigilante and the victim. The ending shows that there is justice. I don't want to give to much away but I really recommend this book, especially if you have children. There is a lesson to learn from this book.

‘Into the Darkness’ by Sibel Hodge published by Amazon Publishing on July 3rd

Hey, I have read previous books by Sibel Hodge so I knew that she doesn’t shy away from the ‘darker’ side of crime and nor does she sugar coat her stories or the information and detail in them....this book is no different and is a hard hitting novel about dark and disturbing crime
It is based on the ‘dark web’ and what is available on there and it is shocking, uncomfortable and at times distressing but powerful
The story is told in 3 narratives, from the perspective of the missing teenager, the policeman tracking a seemingly unrelated double murder of an elderly couple and a vigilante, an ex SAS friend of the missing teenagers Mum..all 3 work well together and give 3 totally different angles ( obvs ) to the story, and it works
Its a tense, claustrophobic race against time, in more ways than one and one that has you willing the ‘good’ on and wanting the ‘evil’ to fail
Intense and not a book you can read and forget, it left me shocked and appalled at fellow humans ( parts are based on research of proven crimes similar to the ones in the book) and when it was over I wanted to contact the vigilante and policeman to say ‘Well Done’, daft anno but thats how real the book was
Sibel Hodge writes perfect hard hitting dramatic stories and if you haven’t discovered her yet then let this be the book to do so
10/10 5 stars

Into The Darkness by Sibel Hodge is a thriller about the dangers of the dark web. The police are called to investigate the murder of an elderly couple. A teenage girl is missing and it's a race against time to find her before it's too late. I liked the characters in this book and found it to be a well plotted story.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely loved all Sibel's books and all worthy of five starts. I find with her writing she gets you involved in the storyline straight away and this was a gripping page turner.

I particularly liked the short chapters and how the story was split into three people giving you the background which gets you involved immediately. I was excited to read more from Mitchell and Mays who appeared in Untouchable and D.S. carter who was in Duplicity, two of my favourite books from Sibel and I hope they feature in future books.

Overall this book was brilliant and extremely well written and worthy of five stars.

A clever, fast paced and different take on the typical crime novel. Works well as a standalone read, highly recommended

I usually read true crime and as I was reading this I had to keep reminding myself it was a novel ! Many psychological thrillers/mysteries have a point where you really have to stretch to find it believable. Not so with this one. Although it's a novel it's certainly possible for these events to have happened. It has all the elements of a good thriller. A likeable cast of characters, a little romance, a lot of nail biting action and enough suspense to keep you rapidly turning pages! I highly recommend both the book and the author! Thanks to #netgally for the ARC. #ChapterChatterPub

Sibel Hodge is forever pulling great powerful dark stories out the bag and this is no exception. I love her style of writing, this book being told from three different perspectives, is clever and engaging. Surrounded by the dark crimes and strong characters, this book had me hooked.
The books starts with the murders of an older couple and a missing teenage girl, somewhat unlinked and a race against time where the characters literally jump into the darkness. This book pulls you into places you really don't want to go, the dark web, it's so near for us all to touch and what made this book even more chilling to read.

The Bottom Line:

An interestingly told thriller that does not shy away from the gory stuff, hits you in the face with the truth that you’d rather never know, and spins an intricate, well-plotted tale that is not made any less enjoyable by its predictability.

My take:

Writing in the first person isn’t always easy. Not too many people like the approach so you have to be exceptionally good at it to ensure that your audience can associate with the character they’re following. Writing from different points of view consistently isn’t easy either. It’s altogether too easy to get their personalities mixed up, and end up with one’s style seeping into the other.

Yet, Sibel Hodge does both these things with brilliant precision in Into the Darkness.

The story follows a vigilante who believes that justice is best served instantly, a missing girl whose desire to help people takes her into the depths of unspeakable horror, and a detective who’s been worn down by the injustices he’s witnessed in his career but still, desperately, needs to trust in the legal system. All three are gray characters, and Hodge’s style allows you to follow their internal battles and really get into the story. She doesn’t break their characterization at all, which adds to the association that readers develop for the characters.

The story itself is quite interesting. It is based on a topic that has been done previously (in movies and books) – the dark web – but still manages to be fresh in its approach. It’s also painfully graphic, so those who aren’t used to too much gore may have a few cringe-worthy moments while reading. When you look beyond the near-horrific narrations though, you see that it’s less about the activity and more about the people behind it. Into the Darkness focuses a lot on what people, good and bad, are really capable of; on how far someone can go, how malleable their morals can become, if they’re motivated by greed and insane fetishes, or the desire to help people and enable justice.

The book proceeds at a good speed, taking you from one POV to another and back as you turn pages wondering just how (and even if) these three arcs meet. It’s not immensely unpredictable, but there are definitely some shock-factors. The characters within the story have apparently made appearances previously in other works, but the story is complete in itself. All in all, Into the Darkness is a well-paced, intriguing thriller; and while I wouldn’t say that this should be the next book you should read, it definitely should be on the TBR pile of anyone who enjoys the genre or wants to venture into it.

Recommended to:
- those who enjoy thrillers
- those who enjoy multi-POV or first-person focused books (both these aspects are done extremely well)
- those who like crime fiction

A big thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for an ARC of this book. It led to me discovering some very interesting characters and a new author to follow.

Another hit by Sibel Hodge! Love this author and all of her books!

Into the Darkness is told in three different narratives: The Detective, The Vigilante, and The Missing. This book explores the dark web and this author doesn't shy away from a dark subject matter but she does it very well.
Toni, an 18-year-old has a fascination with true crime and finds herself going deeper and deeper into the Web. She has suddenly gone missing and her mother reaches out to Mitchell, an ex Soldier (The Vigilante). Mitchell served with Toni's dad and feels an obligation to save his daughter.

This is a sobering look into the dark side of what happens in this world today, something I hope never ever to see or experience. Fast paced and well written, 5 stars from me. Thank you so much Thomas & Mercer/Amazon Publishing/NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book!

A great book from three perspectives,the Detective who is looking at a double murder if an elderly couple, no apparent motive. The vigilante who is looking to find his friends missing daughter and the missing girl.
It was a good read not gripping in particular or edge of seat thriller but was enjoyable

Fantastic storyline brilliantly written with three seperate narrations which come together as the story unfolds. I have read the authors previous books and this certainly lived up to and even exceeded my expectations. At one point I thought if I had been watching a film I would have been watching through my fingers.

Another enjoyable thriller by Sibel Hodge. This one brings in characters from previous books. The format is one chapter per character with seemingly different stories which then start to come together. I like this type of book set up. The story matter is very strong, but luckily doesn't go into too much detail of it's "dark side".

I like this author's lightweight chick-lit stories, and she is starting to be one of my favourite thriller writers too.

A powerful novel that introduces its readers to the 'dark web'. A place that will chill you to the core. Shocking, distressing and highly disturbing, this book will have you on the edge of your seat and immersed in its pages from start to finish. Told by three narrators - The Missing, The Vigilante and The Detective, the plotline is intricately constructed but still easy to follow. Impossible to predict what might happen and how it will all end, but during the last section it all comes together very nicely. A stunning read.

Many thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this ARC for which I have given my voluntary and unbiased review.

This was somewhat dark and disturbing but also really intriguing. You feel compelled to read it which is perfect for what the story is trying to portray. This story is told by 3 different perspectives which would normally be very confusing for me but it worked for this book and I was able to follow the story very easily. Amazing book

Into The Darkness is a dark and stormy ride that will have readers hooked.
The story is told from three different points of view The Vigilante, The Police and the Victim. Giving readers a different side of the story that pushes readers to understand truths that we try to hid from.
This a must not miss Thriller.

Thank you to netgalley for the advance copy.

I have enjoyed every book I have read by this author, Sibel Hodge and this latest book is a brilliant read. each book has been completely different but just as thrilling. Into The Darkness delves into the Dark Web, which is portrayed as a terrifying and evil place A young girl has gone missing after discovering this sinister Dark Web. The search for her by her godfather Mitchell and his discovery of these horrific deeds, leaves him in no doubt that time is running out.. A fast paced, gripping action packed thriller had me gasping for breath! I certainly cant wait for the next book by this author.

Dark and treacherous is the best way to describe this story, as it take in some of the dark side, thankfully not in too much gory detail!

The story is told in the sections from the points of view of The Missing, The Detective and The Vigilante. At times I did wonder if or how or when there would be an crossover of stories, so although I was looking out for it when everything came together it was rather satisfying.

In terms of the detective and the vigilante, their two ways of approaching their investigations are really different and what did make me laugh is the level of political correctness being used in the police force!

This is a fast paced, edge of you seat thriller, where you are never completely sure what the outcome will be, or just what the motives are either.

Into the Darkness is another cracking book from Sibel Hodge, and one that I'm sure will disturb my dreams tonight!

Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas and Mercer for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Hello
Hello
Is there anyone out there reading my review?
Say “yes” if you did.

Why are you still sitting there! You need to order this book, seriously.

I am not kidding when I say that from the start of the very first page I was flicking over, over and over the pages, my eyes were reading, reading reading and I felt a hand on my back slowly urging me forward and forward to the unknown, to the depths of the horror in these pages.

My jaw was dropping.

It not only warmed up but kept me on fire right to the very end.

Am I raving too much about this book? YOU read it, judge for yourself.

I was on tenderhooks.

This is not only a fast moving thriller it’s a fast read despite how many pages there are because you are so glued to it that time goes into nothing, things around you can go on, you HAVE to finish this book.

It’s got crime.
Thriller.
The unknown dark web.
Nasty people.
Crime unimaginable.

Yet it’s a story screaming out to be heard.
I heard it.
Loud and clear.

This author made me feel sick, disgusted, entranced, wanting to get justice, empathy for certain characters, angry, wanting to spit ( or more) into many of the people’s faces.

At the end I was glad, yes, glad. I didn’t care! So there! Who cares what is right and wrong. I understood it.
I applauded.

I worried about certain people even after I closed the very last page.

This review may not make sense to you.
It will.....
Once you’ve read it THEN...
Only THEN come back and read my review again.

It will then open your eyes to things I cannot reveal.

Huge thanks to the author. Whose mind is amazing.
To Amazon publishing on Net Galley

I am a massive fan of Sibel Hodge and was so excited when I spotted this new book from her. I wasn't prepared for the addictive pull it had on me that meant putting it down was simply not an option. I tried to place it down to watch TV and managed about 10 minutes before switching the TV off and continuing until the end. I ended up going to sleep at 3am! That is your fault Ms Hodge but I wouldn't have it any other way. It was a fantastic surprise that I wasn't expecting!

"Into the Darkness" is well written and paced with a taut, tense plot that keeps you reading. The story is told from multiple perspectives - the detective, vigilante and victim and the short chapters mean it is just so easy to get through and as a result is impossible to put down. I felt like I was invested in the story and wanted to find out what happened to each character in the end. The finale is action-packed and although the subject matter of the book is dark, I can see this becoming a bestseller.

Hodge is adept at crafting a superb story that is a pleasure to read and does a fantastic job of pulling all of threads together at the end. Highly recommended.

Many thanks to Thomas & Mercer for an ARC. I was not required to post a review and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Excellent, excellent, excellent ! I don't know what it says about me that I loved a dark and disturbing book, but I did. There are 3 main characters and I loved the way the author delved into all of them and showed us their many sides. This is a great mystery and it is extremely well written. I loved how it all came together ! Perfect ending, I can only hope there will be more books written around these characters.

This book was out there and great. Characters were strong and even if you couldn't like them all they were well written.

Wow - my heart rate has just returned to normal. This is the first book I’ve read by Sibel Hodge but it won’t be the last.

A young girl goes missing after stumbling on something gruesome on the Dark Web is being hunted for by a vigilante.. The murder of an elderly couple and a missing.prostitute is being investigated by a weary detective. How are they linked? The subject matter is a very difficult one that we’ve heard of but not really sure if it happens or not. This book leaves you in no doubt that it does. The research into this book has been meticulous.

Highly recommended.

Into the Darkness is a thriller that just didn't thrill me. This story is cleverly told from the point of view of three different people in alternating chapters, leaving the reader to wonder how all three stories are linked. I couldn't care less about any of these characters. I didn't find them realistic or credible. I kept reading in hopes that suddenly something "thrilling" was going to happen only to be more and more disappointed with the passing of every chapter.

I was provided an ARC of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

WOW! I have just finished this book and my first thought was, this book should be made into a film.

Into the Darkness is a well written, compelling, fast paced crime thriller with a fantastic plot. I loved it!

Suffice to say I give it five big fat shiny stars and will be recommending it to all my friends.

Sibel Hodge is on my list of authors that I need to read.... I have loved all of her books and this one ranks right up there. The story is dark, disturbing and horrifying and will not be for everyone, but I do highly recommend it.

It is told from 3 different points of view:

The Missing - 18 year old student Toni is missing and being held captive.. but why and by who?
The Vigilante - Ex SAS Mitchell is called on by Toni's mother to help find her
The Detective - DS Warren Carter is about to leave the police force and is called to the scene of a murdered couple on a farm.

The more the 3 of these characters dig the more disturbing the answers are. The Dark Web is a place where the most horrific people and things can be found. Can they find what they are lo King for and find Toni before it is too late.

Thanks you Amazon Publishing UK for the advanced copy of this book to read in exchange for my honest opinions. A fantastic book that will have you addicted.

An interesting story being told by three different individuals who all their own way come together to provide a thrilling end to the plot. Hopefully I will catch up with Maya and Mitchell in future adventures.

I’m already a big fan of Sibel Hodge, so had high expectations for her latest book and what a great read it was.

Told from three different viewpoints – that of the policeman, the vigilante and the missing girl - this disturbing thriller about the Dark Web, is fast-paced, gripping and full of tension. It had me on the edge of my seat right up to its action-packed ending.

The book is well written, tightly plotted and the main characters are likeable. It is a perfect book for adaptation for the screen as either a TV series or a film.

It was a very well written book,even though the subject of the book was vile. Do people and actions exist I suppose they do, I must be very neive to think it doesn’t. I read the book would I read another book on this subject, the answer would be.no. How can you rate this book with stars it’s difficult to do.

A brilliant book from the very first page right to the end. If you love thrillers with some really twisted goings on you will love this.

The book is told from three different perspectives. We have The Missing, 18 year old Toni who has been shut in a basement room and has no idea where she is or what is going to happen to her. We also have The Vigilante, who is a friend of Toni’s late father and who is determined to find Toni and reach her before it’s too late. Finally we have The Detective, DS Carter who is sent to investigate the murder of a couple that live in a quiet hamlet in the middle of the countryside. The had no known enemy’s and no links to organised crime. Why were they killed and who is responsible.

This book will have you hooked and eager to get to the next page and then the next to try and find out what is happening. A truely addictive read.

Thank you to Amazon Publishing and NetGalley for a digital copy of this book.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer, and Sibel Hodge for the opportunity to read her latest book.

Wow. Creepy, disturbing, scary, you will read this book with your heart in your throat and you won't be able to do anything else until you finish it! This is the second of Hodge's books featuring Detective Sargent Carter but definitely a stand-alone read.

Told from the points of view of The Missing, The Vigilante, and The Detective, there are two mysteries going on. DS Carter is investigating the seemingly random shooting deaths of an elderly couple at their remote farm. Carter has a lot on his own plate - he's scheduled to leave the force and take another job with his ex-partner and friend investigating wildlife crimes. The Viligante, Mitchell, comes to the aid of the wife of his deceased military operative friend when she calls him needing his help to find his missing daughter. The Missing is that daughter, Toni, an 18-year-old.

When all these threads start coming together, you will not be able to put this book down! Adding some needed light moments to the book are diversity issues in the police department.

Another great thriller by Sibel Hodge! More please!

Toni has gone missing and her mother Corrine is distraught. At the end of her wits she contacts Mitchell, ex SAS operative, to help her find her daughter.  Meanwhile, in an unseemingly unconnected case DS Warren Carter is investigating the shootings of an elderly couple in a sleepy hamlet village, how can the two cases be connected and will the dots be joined in time to save Toni from the fate that awaits her?

This book, like all Sibel's books, will evoke so many feelings, I felt anger, rage, disgust, empathy, sorrow and fear. Narrated from three points of view, Toni, Carter and Mitchell, this book punched me right in the guts and then some. Despite three points of view the narrative is straight forward and easy to follow. Each chapter lets you know whose voice you are hearing. Sharp and shocking chapters will propel you swiftly through the book in a race to reach the conclusion and discover the truth. Watching the plots knit together so seamlessly reminded me of just how talented an author Sibel Hodge is.

We did meet Mitchell and Maya in Untouchable but this is a completely different storyline and you do not have to have read this one before reading Into The Darkness (however, I can highly recommend that you do read Untouchable)

Sibel Hodge never shies away from hard hitting and topical storylines, she's not afraid to raise her head above the parapet and that's what I love about her writing. Into the Darkness takes no prisoners in this terrifying journey into the world of the dark web and corruption. If you have ever thought of having a wee nose around under the surface then read this book and see if you are still up for that trip! Me, I'm terrified now! It is horrifying to read what goes on in the mind and the lives of those who get caught up in this world and provokes rage beyond belief at those who operate in worlds such as this. Once again Sibel Hodge had me spitting feathers by the end of this book!

If you are looking for a little bit of cosy crime then maybe this book isn't for you (but, hey, why not jump out of your comfort zone!) but if you are looking for a thought provoking read that will stay with you for a while then look no further!
Review will be posted on my blog on publication date

This is a good read and I liked it. The subject matter is disturbing, but, it's dealt with in a sensitive manner and not gruesomely dwelt upon.

It's a story told from 3 perspectives and I really enjoyed the 3 voices of; The Missing, The Detective and The Vigilante. It moves at a good pace, both due to the short chapters told by these characters and the fact that they are all working against the clock.
The Missing is a girl who disappears having seen disturbing events whilst researching the dark web.

I loved the lead detective who is so down to earth and who, throughout the book, makes some valid observations about the frustrations of being a police officer in the age of budget focus and their need to worry about 'nonsense' rather than crime and victims and I'm sure he will find empathy from others who work in this field.

There are also reflections of real life social events woven through the storyline and despite it's difficult subject matter was also funny in parts.

A really good read. 3.5*
