      I write mysteries and thrillers I live in Portland, Oregon with my family.If you ve read one of my books, I would love to hear from you Hearing from readers makes me eager to keep writing.When I was 12, I sent a short story about a six foot tall frog who loved peanut butter to Roald Dahl, the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory He liked it so much he arranged to have it published in an international children s magazine.My dream of writing went dormant until I was in my 30s, working at a corporate job, and started writing books on the side Those first few years are now thankfully a blur Now I m very lucky to make a living doing what I love I have written 20 novels for adults and teens, with on the way My books have gotten starred reviews, been picked for Booksense, translated into six languages, been named to state reading lists, and won the Oregon Book Award.

      I read The Body in the Woods by April Henry for book club, and I don t think that if I hadn t read The Body in the Woods, I don t think I would have read Blood Will Tell In this book, you get to explore Nick s character which I really liked The last book based on Alexis and Ruby, and I wanted to know about Nick The suspense was also really awesome I thought that the murderer was someone, else the the person it was I m not really a person who likes seeing a ton of blood, and I was kind of gross [...]

      3.5 starsI liked this one than the first The characters are established and it was nice being back in their heads The story starts off with a bang and doesn t let go until the very end I loved that we got the killer s POV and it was ambiguous enough to keep me wondering who it was until the reveal A great installment to the series I m eager to see what s next for these kids Huge thanks to Macmillan for sending me the arc

      I thought April Henry s first book The Body in the Woods was excellent, so I was really anticipating another excellent read with this one As in the first one, I really became engaged with the characters, but I just really felt let down by the ending this time I didn t want anything predictable, but I expected to be able to make some connections even if I couldn t come up with the correct culprit It was way too far fetched, in my view at least to connect all the dots Just a big disappointment.

      This book was definitely good book I would recommend the to anyone that likes a good and twisty mystery I thought that the theme of this book was you never know who did it because in this book all along that thought it was this guy who wasn t like them He had a lot of knifes and unusual things But you would never know if it was actually him until they ran through tests Also the theme is also don t judge a character by how they look or act because just cause this guy didn t act like them they tho [...]

      This book is about a girl body was found at a park.And I didn t really like about that part when it said she killed a girl.But I tried and keep reading on but when the mom called her friend to tell her to come back home but the friend said that she left an hour ago, so the mom was worried about her, the mom kept on calling and checking were she went.

      Personal response I enjoyed this book because it was mysterious It s like when I smell tortas de carne asada The smell keeps me walking to the kitchen or restaurant I knew that Nick didn t kill Lucy Hayes because he has a chapter once in a while but in the story he never once said he stopped and killed a woman on his way home from saving Marianna Chavez I found the book pretty interesting Plot Summary Marianna Chavez is a seven year old girl who got lost after playing with her friend Nick Walker [...]

      Personal ResponseHonestly, Blood Will Tell, is one of the best books that I have read so far this year The intensity of it draws you in until you can t put the book down The way it started out, I was disinterested because it was kind of confusing and hard to follow I felt like what was going on in the book had nothing to do with what I thought was going to happen I was pleasantly surprised in the end when I figured out how everything fit together Plot SummaryA small girl goes missing one night, [...]

      As I read some of the reviews on this book, I thought I would like it better than then first one But I didn t Some things about the ending urked me, and I wasn t very found of Nick s attitude in some parts I had this idea in my head of how the killer was related in all of this and I turned out to be wrong, it would ve been fine if the truth was better than what I thought but it wasn t At least, not to me It was still a good book, I just personally liked the first one better I can t wait to see w [...]

      Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick Dirty I went into this expecting a great mystery that would keep me on my toes, and instead I got a story that I figured out within a couple chapters The characters were dull, the mystery was non existent, and I found the whole thing to be a pretty boring read.Opening Sentence Freshly spilled blood is wet, shiny, and startingly crimson.The Review Nick, Ruby, and Alexia are all members of the SAR squad in Portland, Oregon The three are all seniors in high [...]

      More like 2 1 2These mysteries are entertaining, but they re nothing new They also don t have much substance It s a lot of repeating the same thing and reinforcing points that have already been made It feels almost middle grade to me, but what are you going to do We have the same characters from the first book Nick, Ruby, and Alexis We learn about two out of three of these characters, so that was cool However, each of these characters is so two dimensional Nick wants to prove himself Ruby is we [...]

      A little childish at times, but otherwise I really liked this one Blood Will Tell is a great way to introduce young adults into reading murder mysteries without giving them one that s too violent or shocking.

      I really enjoyed this sequel to Body in the Woods It is told from Ruby s and Nick s p.o.v and center on how people s assumptions can affect so much in an investigation, as well as showing how it is possible to in trouble for a crime you didn t commit.

      I loved this book because it was so exciting and suspenseful I read it in one day The author tells the story through many people and blends it into a book It is about a weird teen boy who thought his father was a hero who died in the military when he was really a man who did go into the army but came back and killed a guy at a bar with his bare fists and was in prison since he was four, that s why all through his life he wanted to be a hero and join the military He drew violent scenes of people [...]
