The blurb calling this a YA "Silence of the Lambs" is spot-on. "None Shall Sleep" is a creepy, bloody serial killer mystery that is fast-paced and honestly unputdownable. I kept trying to take breaks from reading to get other stuff down but kept thinking about it! It's one of the strongest YA thrillers I've read for a hot second.

The main characters balance each other out so well, and make for a really solid team; I loved Emma and Travis' dynamic and the way they listened to, encouraged, and respected one another so thoroughly. The writing style is very strong and I think it's clear the author knew the direction she was going in; she makes EVERY chapter count and builds up some aspect of the book super nicely. I definitely want to check out some of Marney's other books.

I think if you've read or watched other thriller/serial killer stories, the plot won't feel ~that~ fresh, or might even be a little predictable. But even if you know the tropes, the writing and characters really make "None Shall Sleep" stand out! It's just a strong book and surprisingly full of heart and thoughtful moments. For that alone I'd recommend this one.

An interesting concept executed in a way I found difficult to put down. Two teenagers are brought in by the FBI to interview teenage serial killers that have already been apprehended, end up providing insight to an ongoing case. I thought the relationships between characters were great, but the dialogue felt a little awkward. While the conclusion of the case portion of the plot was well written, what followed left something to be desired. Overall I say this is worth the read.

"Some Shall Break" started slowly but the action cranked up the more I read. As for the end - oh, wow! The last page should have had "to be continued" on it because there HAS to be a third book after that ending. What a cliffhanger!

I am surprised this series is not more popular than it is because I have found it addictive. I have recommended "None Shall Sleep" to a number of students only to have them return demanding this novel. Every one of them has said how much they loved Emma and Travis, and of course, Simon, who really is a charming, diabolical villain. His character is so well-written; he shines every time he appears on the page.

Although I found "Some Shall Break" a bit slower than "None Shall Sleep", I was still fully invested in the novel - I just wanted more of Simon! Marney knows how to write a gripping serial killer novel with mystery and intrigue that will keep the reader turning pages.

I can't wait for Emma and Travis' next dangerous adventure - they still have things they have to accomplish. I hope I don't have to wait too long before it is published.
