This was my Amazon First Read pick for January. It's not a book I'd recommend, and it's not a series I'll follow. Some things that bothered me include:Ziba is an annoying character who tries too hard to be a badass. She has a habit of calling people ridiculous derogatory names, constantly, such as "moon chicken" and "DI Dipstick." She also uses her personal lingo for common things, such as "lifer juice" instead of coffee. And a man's hands are "dick grabbers." I swear, she never just talks likeZiba MacKenzie is a criminal profiler who consults with Scotland Yard. On her way to dinner one night, the train shes riding collides with a derailed tanker car, killing more than a dozen and wounding several hundred. Though injured herself, Ziba comforts a dying woman who with her last breath whispers an enigmatic confession: He did it. Who did it? What did he do? And why? are the questions Ziba asks herself.But these questions get pushed to the side as Scotland Yard requests her services to
Blood for Blood is a three star novel. It started well but it was unnecessarily long and the novel was not as compelling as I would have liked.
It's rare that a single side-character causes me to cut a book rating in half, but here we are. One of these days I'm going to read a book with a strong, independent female lead. 2018 wasn't a good year for me and such a book, but I entered 2019 ever hopeful. One might be fooled into thinking that this is one. But no. What we have instead is a woman still broken from the death of her husband. Which is fine. Could be great, even. It's a great opportunity to show her inner-strength as she comes to
Blood for Blood was an Amazon First Read selection for January and I'm thrilled that I chose this one. I have a new favorite series as well as a tough, new female protagonist to follow. Zina MacKenizie is former special ops, a widow who watched as her undercover cop husband was shot by a pro in front of her eyes. She now is working as a freelance profiler for the MET and is one of the best in field. Selman, the author, writes a gritty, dark, fast paced thriller that will keep you guessing
I just finished watching Killing Eve and was in the mood for another story about a serial killer and this fit the bill. Compelling story, and although there were some head-scratching plot holes, it was very enjoyable. A good pick from the Amazon First Reads January selection.
Audio version of this book 📚- Really enjoyed the start of this series, looking forward to the next one
