Book Review - Blue Hill Blood by Elizabeth Gray




Blue Hill Blood by Elizabeth Gray

BLURB:
Henry - 
My past is gruesome and unforgettable no matter how hard I try to let go. 
Writing is my escape. My only therapy. 
When I met my wife, had children, and my career sky-rocketed, I thought I’d never revisit those dark days again. 
So, the moment Blue Hill, Maine beckons for me, I go willingly in an effort to write the next big story. 
But when a ghost from my past shows up, all of my carefully rebuilt walls come crumbling down hard and fast. My only way of defense is ripped from my grasp as this distraction bounces into my life. 
Will I be able to sift through what’s fiction to find reality? 

Eli - 
I’m a serial killer. A victim of narcissism and the need to satisfy my own urges. I have a thirst to snuff out the lives of those that remind me of her—the woman that ruined me—and I take great pleasure in quenching that thirst. 
I have no rules. No parameters. I do as I please. 
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Henry McElroy, is my god. His sick, twisted mind constructs the world to which I rule. I would be nothing without him—my dark creator. 

*** 
What happens when Henry McElroy’s story begins to take a realistic form the moment he sets foot in the sleepy, seaside town in Maine? As soon as he begins sharing excerpts of his book with his fans on social media, including an obsessive one he meets in Blue Hill, bodies begin to stack up in similar fashion to that of which he writes about. Will the blame be placed on the town’s newest and most twisted visitor? Or will Henry be able to prove his innocence and clear his name before it’s too late?

Di's Review

This one is going on my Twisted Approved List, so beware, this book is dark and may not be for everyone. A psychological thriller with dark erotic themes.

O.M.G. This was a delicious, decadent chocolate cake of total mind twistery. My craving for depravity has been sated. Go in blind, I haven't read any other reviews, but I'm afraid someone will ruin this story for you.

The prologue will smack you and rest of the book will feel like a blurry mess of all consuming darkness. Henry's a writer of horror books, so not only am I reading his story, I'm reading the story he is writing. To say I was darkly entertained is an understatement. I'm not going into detail because, yeah. No spoilers from me. Anyway, like I was saying, the prologue is tragic, what Henry endures is heart-breaking. We get past and present from Henry's POV, a slow build up to a massive explosion. You will be screeching and laughing like a lunatic, that's if your twisted like me. I NEVER SAW THIS COMING!!! A sucker punch of plot twist. My mouth was hanging wide open. I closed this book with a smile on my face while scratching my chin. I spent the rest of my night re-thinking the entire story, did I miss clues? Speechless. I love a complex, mind boggling book and Elizabeth Gray delivered. I need her on speed dial for my fix. If you like dark and twisty, a book that will tickle your mind, you have to read this one.
