Blue Hill Blood By Elizabeth Gray
SYNOPSIS:
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?

MY 5+ REVIEW * * * * *
"Her panties are probably wet from his attention.
He can't wait to steal away her smiles forever."
It's been FOUR DAYS since I read this. I'm totally ready for this review, my mind has totally processed this, right? WRONG. But still, I need to review this and tell you all how freakishly, amazing of a mind-fuck this is. I am still processing my feelings while writing this review so please try and stay with me lol!
First of all I would highly advise having vodka/wine and Ben and Jerry's on stand by for when you finish this. Ok so usually I do a little of a 'Synopsis'; a little about the book, in my own words,so you can get a little insight to what you're going into, but there's not a chance in hell I am doing that with this book, because honestly there is no way for me to that without spoiling this book for you and while I have heart palpitations from the thought of going into a book blind, spoiler free, this is how you need to go into this one. What I will say though is, Henry is the epitome of a tortured writer, we get an insight into to his life that led him to now. This story and these characters are definitely not one dimensional, this story grips you entirely and will, without a doubt stick with you for a long time after you have read it.
Next of all, I DON'T read psychological thrillers, I read romance because, well because I'm a wimp! I don't even watch criminal minds anymore lol! but there's not a chance I would ever pass up reading a book by this author. So what did I do? I read it early in the day, because that totally makes a difference! yeah right, I had no idea what I was going into! I was sucked in completely, terrified also, and while this genre isn't something I'm going to be picking up, this will forever be a favourite because this book has twisted me up and planted itself right in my brain, I'm not sure it will ever leave either, this story is just simply phenomenal.
"Now, my reflection is nothing.
I am nothing.
No longer a monster."
I've said it before and I will say it again and again, this book well and thoroughly fucked my mind. If you're like me, a big wimp, and start to think "Oh, I've totally got this. I'm ok with this" DON'T FOOL YOURSELF. Elizabeth Gray aka K Webster aka SATAN will be sitting there cackling as she throws each twist and turn at you, and each character and plot line unraveling before your eyes, which are probably covered by your hands while your mouth is agape. This book makes you feel things then shocks you and makes you question yourself, see, this is what this author does, she makes you feel a certain way about a character then rips that right from you and makes you feel another way completely! As much as an evil author she may be, she is definitely one of my favourite authors and I will trust her writing always.
Lastly, Do not for one second think you have this figured out. Just don't do that to yourself because you won't have it figured out, and you will be hanging on to every word until that last word. And I dare you to read this and not come from this book completely mind fucked.
"She's curious about me - clearly seeing that there's a story behind the scars - and she wants to know that story."
