Oblation

This story is incredible! It offers intriguing plot and the character development was amazing throughout! It's a fast read and the spice didn't disappoint.

Oblation by Gerard Anthony tells the story in 4 parts. The first 2 parts are through the eyes of Sheriff Tarpley. A school bus vanishes on the way to school on Halloween. It was interesting to read her thoughts. They think the crime is solved. The 3rd part picks up the story through the eyes of the killer. The 4th part is through the eyes of one his victims. I’m still trying to figure out who. I’m thinking I missed a couple of clues. It made for a good read. The transition between parts was very smooth. The book is appropriately titled. I tried not to think too much about the actual killing. It’s disturbing. I did keep reading though and wanted to see what happens. I would recommend. Thank you to NetGallery and kindle edition for letting me review this book in exchange for an honest review.

I requested this book since I was convinced it was going to be a paranormal mystery. I was wrong about the paranormal which bummed me out a little, but let’s get to this book. This starts out just a little slow, but it probably has to to set up the scene. I really liked Sheriff Tarpley even if I feel we didn’t get to really know her. And while the book was a little slow in other parts (I feel a lot of the descriptions could have been toned down a little), the book did for the most part fly by. It is suspenseful, eerie, and it does really pull at your heartstrings in a couple of places. As a warning, a couple of the descriptions of the murder scenes are a little graphic, but that is one of the ways this draws you in. This is a well-written, psychological thriller sure to please fans of such. I still would like to know where the song he sang came from and who the motorcycle guy was even if I think I know. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

I don't even know what to say about this book?! On one hand it was an awesome read but the storyline was so gruesome and heart breaking! It had high suspense, action, gruesome murders, a sadistic serial killer, child kidnapped, some not so great police work that let this character go for years! The storyline was very interesting but geez! I will recommend reading this book as it was worth reading but definitely beware its a rough on your heart read! I'm not even sure how many stars to give it lol It was a great book though?! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
