Love love love this series! Book after book, Stacy Green manages to keep it fresh and new and terrifyingly thrilling! Bone Lake is the 8th in the Nikki Hunt series and it might just be my favorite so far! With a great story line and exciting characters, I was glued to the pages and couldn't get to the ending fast enough. Keep them coming Stacy! I'm here for all of it!

I finished this book today. It's my favorite of all the Nikki Hunt books so far and I've loved them all.

It's one to keep you on the edge and turning the pages. I thought I had it figured out but was wrong until almost three-fourths of the way through. By then of course there was enough to give it away. But I won't do that.

I'm part of a blog tour for this book so can't post the links yet. But my review I can....

This is my favorite of the Nikki Hunt series books... So far anyway.

This book will keep you on the edge pretty much all the way through. You get to know about a murder that took place then and one that happened recently.

Twenty years ago a family was brutally murdered. The mother, father and daughter. The only survivor was the nine year old son Matt. His sister basically saved his life by sending him for help. The Kline's murder was horrible. One the town never truly forgot.

Twenty years later you meet three young women who are watching a documentary of the Klines murder. At some point two of these girls are brutally murdered. Beaten beyond recognition. The third is missing. Things point to Matt. Did he do this heinous thing? Is he a victim also? Did something set him off? What happened to Alexia? Who took her and why? Does she have information that might solve the murder from twenty years ago?

Everything is answered in this story. You find out who did what and why.
This book keeps you guess and has you holding your breath in places. The horrors that happened in the past and the present are mind boggling. Why would anyone do such a thing and if they are connected, how. Who is the murderer? You get a chance to figure it out...

Thank you #NetGalley, #StacyGreen, #Bookouture for this ARC.

Five huge stars!

BONE LAKE is number 8 in the Nikki Hunt series from author Stacy Green. This was the first book I have read in this series. What a page turner! The twists are coming at you fast and furious. I love mysteries that keep me guessing, and this one checks that box! I really enjoyed BONE LAKE and I will definitely be reading more of this series in the future!

Many thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for my gifted ARC.

This review will be shared to my Instagram (@coffee.break.book.reviews) in the near future.

Two horrifying murder scenes, same house: page-turner🗃

Great plot and the telling was excellent as well! As unpredictable and thorough a murder investigation as I had hoped for and, truth be told, expected from author Stacy Green.

One lakeside Victorian house with bad vibes ties together two multiple murders twenty years apart. FBI profiler Nikki Hunt and her partner Liam lead the current investigation and, since the two seem linked, hope to put the old, botched cold case to bed permanently. Superb storyline with plenty of potential suspects and unpredictability. The story moves back and forth a few times as it reveals the circumstances surrounding the first set of murders that might have contributed to the second. I guessed wrong but it did not deter my satisfaction when they finally close in on the killer.

This story had an added touch of tension between Nikki and Liam which I liked. They don't agree about the most likely suspect for the new murders. Liam thinks Nikki's personal experience as the survivor of her parents' brutal murder is pushing her away from their best suspect while Nikki, having helped a rogue sheriff pin the wrong guy for her parents' deaths, wants to avoid railroading another innocent man into prison. Who is right? Enjoy the book and find out!

My one niggle. We learn almost nothing about the two students found battered and deceased at the modern murder scene.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

This is my first time reading Stacy Green and I just loved this book. It was so methodical, well written and I truly enjoyed a majority of the characters, especially Nikki. Thsi was a shorter book, but it definitely didn't skip out on any details and was so well laid out. I can't wait to go back and read some of the other Nikki Hunt books.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and author Stacy Green for this gifted ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Agent Nikki Hunt is back with another case, that may be related to a cold case that happened in 2001.

In 2001, eight-year-old Matt witnessed his parents and his sister Amy getting murdered by a masked man wearing in black. Present day, two girls were brutally murdered and one of the girls Alexia is missing. Alexia was making a documentary about the murder that happened in 2001. With time running out and determined to find Alexia before it was too late, Nikki and her partner Liam must find the person who was responsible for the murders in 2001 and they believed it could be the same person.

This was a fast paced thriller. There were many twists and turns along the way although I kind of expected the ending and I also suspected by the middle of the book, who might be the real murderer. Nevertheless, that did not lower my rating as the author has once again managed to make the reader feel like they are on the edge of the story and this thriller like all her Nikki Hunt series are unputdownable with so much action going on in the series. You could read as a standalone novel but then I highly recommend to read this series starting from Book 1

Overall, this book worth five stars!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

For two decades a vicious murder has gone unsolved. This murder destroyed an entire family leaving only one person alive. When Special Agent Nikki Hunt is called to this same home, she finds another bloody scene. This time a young woman is missing. Nikki Hunt understands family loss firsthand. Her parents were brutally murdered years ago, and this case is stressing her out. Matty was the survivor of the first crime that occurred in this home. He owns the home now and is immediately a prime suspect. Nikki feels a bond with Matty, but unlike Nikki who used her loss to help other victims of crime, Matty seems to be a bit of a wanderlust. He was definitely my first suspect.

These were gruesome murders from before and at present. This time the clock is ticking because they hope to find the missing girl alive. Nikki Hunt and company are perfect for the job. Stacy Green takes you on a wild ride of epic proportions as the puzzle pieces are slowly placed together to possibly join the past to the present so that both crimes can be solved. The real question that has to be answered is are the murders connected or is is just a grisly coincidence? Nikki Hunt is a tenacious and fearless investigator who will stop at nothing to solve the mystery, even risking her own life.

This was a gripping tale of a cold case investigation, and reflected on how survivors of brutal crimes suffer and recover from their loss. I was hanging on by my fingernails as we skidded into the ending. You will not be able to put this one down once you start it.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Fans of Stacy Green, you’ll be happy to know that number 8 in the Nikki Hunt series, Bone Lake, is a humdinger! Alexia Perry, a young detective/profiler wannabe books an Airbnb for a weekend to air a documentary about the tragic murders of three family members that had occurred in the house years earlier. Although many of her friends thought it was in bad taste, they still showed up to party. It wasn’t until the next day when the cleaners arrived that the bodies of two of the girls were discovered. Other friends were accounted for, but Alexia was missing.

Special Agent Nikki Hunt, an FBI profiler, is called in to assist Washington County Sheriff Miller. The two have worked closely on many cases previously, and the county sheriff’s department greatly needs the FBI’s help on this one. The murders of the Kline parents and daughter are still unsolved; only the family’s little boy, Matty, escaped by running to a neighbor’s home for help. Nikki sympathizes with the adult Matt as a survivor of this tragedy – but can she be objective as she investigates this new crime?

Ms. Green’s knowledge of the area and its history adds greatly to the sense of time, place, and mystery. At times, the aura is rather creepy, especially early in the story. She also creates many false leads and suspects. There were rumors of affairs back at the time of the original murders, which could have been motive for the murders. And, of course, there’s revenge. This creates some tension between Nikki and Liam, who disagree about who is the prime suspect. The motive for killing Alexia seems clear – but it’s not certain that she’s dead. But where is she? And why kill the two friends? There are so many questions. Can Nikki, her team, and the sheriff find Alexia and nab the killer?

This is a good one, folks!

I received a digital copy of Bone Lake <.b> in exchange for my honest review. My thoughts and opinions are my own. Thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture, and the author.

4.5 stars

The first time I have read this Author. I enjoyed the style of writing. A solid four star read. Great premise. Good characters. Page turner. Plenty of suspense to keep me guessing Would definitely read the next novel. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to

FBI agent Nikki Hunt is faced with the task of solving multiple related crimes committed decades apart. With many twists and turns, the story will keep you on your toes until the entire time. Although I had part of it figured out halfway through the book, everything didn’t come together until the end. Loved it! #netgalley #bonelake

Stacy Green's Nikki Hunt series never disappoints. Short but action-packed, Bone Lake is another thrilling instalment with a fast pace and a lot going on.

The case is one that will have you questioning loads of different characters, and the investigation is a gripping one to follow.

There isn't a whole lot of character development regarding Nikki in this instalment, as it focuses on the case rather than anything more personal, but I like how it puts focus on other characters and builds up a little more history around the town.

This is the perfect series if you enjoy short and entertaining detective thrillers with great characters and interesting cases.

There is never a dull moment for a Nikki Hunt investigation. This case had a very realistic feel, a Netflix documentary gone awry. As I’ve read these books Green has let readers get to know Nikki and Liam, their families and coworkers. Just like real partners these two often disagree and it made for an exciting investigation. This case was actually like working two, the current murder occurred where another unsolved murder took place over twenty years ago. How the patterns and clues fit together was tricky and unexpected. I hope to never tire of a Hunt mystery, there’s always a murder somewhere. It’s always a pleasure to read an early copy and leave my honest review.

This is the first of the series that I have read and to be honest...WHAT A RIDE.

So many twist and terms throughout it. It had me hooked by the first chapter and I could not put it down.

For someone who is a lover of the series or reading it as a one off you'll love the book!

Bone Lake is the 8th book in the Nikki Hunt series.

I have loved every book in the series and this one fit right in.

This installment focuses on two separate murders. One many years ago and one in the current day. The two cases have some similarities and are tied together in an unusual way.

I love that we are still learning about the main characters even this far into the series. I like them all even more with each book. They are becoming like people I actually know.

This book had me wondering and guessing all through until the end.

I recommend to anyone who likes a good police procedural series.

Thanks to netgalley and Bookouture for the arc.

Wow what a book. It had so many twists and turns the made my head spin. Really and interesting book.

Great book loved it.

Bone Lake is book 8 in the Nikki Hunt series by Stacy Green.

Thank You NetGalley and Bookouture for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

History seems to be repeating itself in this new Nikki Hunt book. Years ago, a family was murdered in their home. Only the young son survived the horror. In the present day, the old case remains a topic of discussion and the subject of a documentary. When a young woman decides to play detective and solve the cold case, she rents the actualy house of the murders and invites her friends to view the documentary. The evening ends with two of her friends murdered and the young woman missing. Is this the work of the original perp or is it a new criminal. Nikki and her team must solve the previous murders in order to solve the new ones. It's a a great story.

Bone Lake, Nikki Hunt book 8, by Stacy Green.

I am loving this series; it continues to get better with each book. This book grabbed me from the start. One house, two sets of violent attacks years apart. Are they related?
Nikki Hunt is called in to help investigate the attack on a group of teenagers renting a house with previously unsolved gruesome murders. She quickly learns that one of the teenagers has been digging into these cold murders on her own. Did the killer find out?
This book was perfectly paced, filled with suspense to the very end. Five stars.

This is book #8 in the Nikki Hunt series. Whilst it can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the books in series order for better understanding of the storylines. We are back with Special Agent Nikki Hunt who is investigating the deaths of two young women at a house on Bone Lake. However this isn't the first time this house has seen such tragedy as twenty years previously a family were killed there in almost identical circumstances.

I've read this series from the beginning and really like Nikki Hunt's character. She's had plenty of tragedy in her own life, but in this book the investigation takes forefront with only fleeting glimpses into Nikki's home life. The investigation is gripping and I enjoyed trying to work out who was involved as I read. The killings, both present day and twenty years previous, are gruesome and shocking and when secrets come tumbling out from both times I found myself hooked into the investigation.

There are a lot of characters and I did struggle initially as to who was who, but this became easier as the storyline moved on. There were lots of twists and turns with some red herrings thrown in for good measure. I didn't work out who the killer was until Nikki did and I loved the reveal of who and why, with everything slotting into place. This is an exciting addition to this series which had been hooked until the last page. Would recommend!

And yet again, Stacey Green did a fantastic job with this newest Nikki Hunt book!! I read it in just a few hours and it kept me guessing right up to the end. This is great series and I highly recommend it.

Thank you #netgalley and #bookouture for the eARC.
