(5 / 5)
Dead Scared… Another 5 star Lacey Flint tale.
Lacey and Mark are together again, and working on an undercover gig at Cambridge University where there have been a few too many suicides lately. What she uncovers is quite disturbing – Ok a LOT disturbing. And of course puts her life in jeopardy.
Oh I love the Lacey and Mark saga! I’m getting so frustrated with them, but not in a bad way. They have such a great relationship, I just love them so much! But the drive me CRAZY WITH TENSION!!!
I just love the dark tone of this series. I just get lost in it. Fantastic. The atmosphere was even better than the first book, and I didn’t know that would be possible!!
Bolton does her research! So impressed with the accurate details. I am a burns nurse, and the way that she described the burns, the grafting, the surgeries, the smell… Spot on! And she has obviously done her homework with extensive information about different drugs and mental disorders. Usually I read about hospitals and cringe at the inaccuracies. But the thoroughness of Bolton’s descriptions were amazingly accurate.
One of the very few things I disliked about this book, was that it seemed to jump point of view in each chapter, and then sometimes halfway through a chapter. I found it a bit irritating and often had to double check it was the character I thought it was. But it didn’t bother me enough to hinder my five stars!!!
Loved the twist!!! I’m usually pretty good at picking it, and I may have been off my game, but I had NO idea. I am beginning to REALLY LOVE the twists in this series!!
I also really loved the dramatic ending of Dead Scared. Fantastic! Loved it! So sad there are only two books left because I know I am just going to DEVOUR them!!!
Oh and I didn’t realise that Evi’s tale ties up with another book “Blood Harvest”…. I’m on it!!!!

Edited: This series has been upgraded to my favourite series of all time. And Bolton is now my favourite author who can do no wrong in my eyes!
