I have read other works about the historical event this book is based on, but I have not read any that told the story from several perspectives. This book makes the reader consider the reasoning behind why each group chose the actions they did. I enjoyed the book. I had never read of the children who were not killed but temporarily adopted. I received an advance copy via Netgalley. I was not required to leave a positive review, these are my opinions.

I loved everything about this book. It was not what I was expecting from Noelle Ihli; I have read some of her books before so I was expecting another thriller. This book is more of a historical fiction and it threw me, in a good way. Ihli has a way of making you feel the characters’ emotions viscerally that doesn’t seem contrived.
This book is based on a true story and I also, really enjoyed learning more about this part of history, as heartbreaking as it was. I knew next to nothing coming in but, experiencing it through the characters’ eyes, the book made me almost feel like I was there. She is such a phenomenal writer and I can’t praise it enough. I’ve already recommended to three people.

This book was heartbreaking, but I couldn’t put it down. A tragic part of our history that I truly had no idea about so I was so intrigued that these events actually happened. So eye opening and the author did an incredible job with the writing and timeline of everything. I’ve read other books by Noelle and this was very different than her other stories so I was very impressed.

I’ll start by saying, I’m a newer reader to Noelle BUT the couple books I have read, I have throughly enjoyed for the thriller aspect of them! This book, I wouldn’t personally rank it as a thriller but like true Noelle fashion, it was beautifully written! I was SO beyond happy to get an ARC copy of this book! I’m not normally a huge fan of historical fiction however, this was a very interesting read! I appreciate that Noelle clearly did ALOT of her own research and put her heart into this novel to pay homage to the massacres that happened in Utah and I think she deff did the story justice! I think because a lot of people love Noelle and her previous novels, even if this may not be their normal genre they read, because they love the author so much, they’ll still read it and be pleasantly surprised, like I was! Thank you for opening my eyes to a new genre!! 💜

None Left to Tell described some awful and heartbreaking incidents that are based on true events. I am so grateful for all of the work that Noelle Ihli put into researching the Mountain Meadows Massacre in Utah. I believe it is a story that needs to be shared. It definitely was a different feel from what I usually expect from Noelle. It has a much slower pace than her typical writing. There are graphic experiences depicted that readers should be aware of. I do appreciate the historical insight, but was thinking it would be a different vibe in terms of a thriller. There are many POVs and it took me a while to get a grasp on where they all were. I think this is a beautifully written book and the character development did make you feel deeply for what they were going through, it just wasn’t entirely what I expected.

Thank you Noelle Ihli, NetGalley, and Dynamite Books for the opportunity to read this book.

None Left to Tell is a hard book to read but a must because there is so much that needs to be said.
Based on real events, None Left to Tell is the story of the Mountain Meadow Massacre which I never knew until this book. Believe me when I say, it made me researched more about it and what I found that the web offered send chills to my bones. I know this is advertised as a thriller but it has a good touch of historical fiction to it. This book was beautifully written, Presented in perspective of three women. Each of their POV were equally captivating. I went in blind only because I saw that it was highly requested on Netgalley and I was glad that I did. Knowing nothing about the events the story was derived from seem to give me more dimension and it made the book more thrilling. It is my first book from Noelle Ilhi and I believed she did a wonderful job of immersing the readers Having the song on the soundtrack has even made an even more compelling read. It was gut wrenching in may parts. I got emotional because it was such an unimaginable incident. Definitely a top read for the year!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this arc. Wow! I did not realize this is based on a true story. That o my makes it that much more terrifying. Most times real life is scarier than anything an author can imagine. I have read Ihli’s books before and I absolutely love her as an author. She is an auto buy author for me. So well done! Definitely recommend if you love thriller and historical tales.

I love how the author is able to take this historic event and turn in into such a great book! I had never even heard about it before reading this! Thank you so much for the ARC, definitely enjoyed this one!

I’ve never read a thriller like this! Based on a true story! This was definitely more historical fiction than I had anticipated. I’ve actually never read any historical fiction, but I really enjoyed this!

3.5 ⭐️ I love this author, but I’m not a fan of this book. I went in expecting a thriller but got a historical fiction. I enjoy a good historical fiction but not when I’m expecting a thriller. It was still a good story and won’t deter me from reading lore from this author.

This was a really unique read, and I was intrigued to learn more about this Utah-based historical event. It was not really a thriller but more of a historical story. The beginning was really slow for me and hard to get through. Once I got to Part 2, the setting changed and the book got much better to me. I ended up interested in the storyline of the characters and eventually understood why the first part was needed. This is a story worth reading, but takes a bit to get into and not really a thriller.

I absolutely love this author and everything I've read by her. This book was fantastic. In my opinion, not like her usual stuff, but still fantastic. Definitely appreciate the research she put into it.

As always, I am a sucker for a Noelle W. Ihli book. This is the third book of hers this I’ve read this year, and it’s by far my favorite. I really appreciated the multiple perspectives and settings, and really looked forward to picking this book up as often as I could. This was a solid read that focuses on a massacre that I had never even heard of until reading this book. Solid 5/5.

3.5 Stars

None Left to Tell is less of a thriller and more of a deep dive into some seriously interesting history! Following the lives of three very different women, their interconnected stories bring a fascinating (and sometimes heartbreaking) era to life. You can tell the author did their homework—this book is packed with real historical details, and I felt like I learned a lot.

Fair warning: it’s not exactly a quick read, and at times the pacing felt a little slow. If you’re in the mood for a slower, well-researched historical novel, this one’s worth a read!

None Left to Tell reads as both a historical fiction novel and a thriller. The entire narrative pulls you in and won't let go; I just highly suggest reading this book in a well-lit room in the middle of the day! I will be honest, this was a tough book for me to get through. Not because it wasn't extremely well written; it was. But because the writer did such a phenomenal job that I was actually taking a hit to my mental health. The thought of innocent people, women and children, being terrified and slaughtered with no protection? It was rough at parts.

Ihli wrote this book to tell a story of a time in US history that is not well known. They did this with compassion but did not shy away from the details. Congratulations to this author for both a phenomenal book and for shining a light on the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

My one criticism is the book felt too long. It could have been written with more brevity while still having the same impact and well-developed story.

Noelle West Ihli did not disappoint me again! She is fast becoming my auto buy author! I enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting. I would definitely recommend this book.

This book was so heartbreaking. Reading the point of view from Katrina knowing how things end. The times were so different back then too. It was frustrating to know how everything was kept hidden afterwards. The story itself was good just really sad material and knowing that it was a nonfiction event.

This was not at all what I expected. I was told this was a thriller, but it was more of a historical fiction book. It definitely wasn’t like her other books. I really struggled to stay focused for most of it. Everything felt very slow to me. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen. That’s probably why it took so long to finish. I wish I could give a better review, so many others loved this one. I just don’t think it was for me.

This was an amazing story! I'm not much of a historical reader but this one was so well put together in a way that pulls you in and you don't want to stop reading. The character development was amazing, you can feel the characters emotions.

Thank you for this arc!

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

The book alternates between perspectives of Katrina Huff, Lucy Robinson, and Kahpeputz aka Sally in 1857. Katrina Huff, her husband Peter, and their four children Mary, William, James, and Nancy are traveling through Utah from Arkansas to California via wagon train. While camped at Corn Creek, a steer attacks Peter and he has to shoot it to save himself. Afterwards, Peter ends up deathly ill. Then, more cattle start bloating up and mysteriously dying. Kanosh, leader of the native Pauite tribe, demands the wagon train move along so they do.

Sally is a Bannock Native American that was kidnapped from her tribe as a child. She ultimately finds herself given to leader Kanosh as his 4th wife and joins the Pauite tribe in Corn Creek. Lucy Robinson is a white Mormon who's family fled from New York to Utah after religious persecution. Lucy and her husband Vick, with their children Proctor, Almon, Albert, and Adelia live northwest of Corn Creek in Fillmore on their apple orchard. Sally meets Lucy when she is ordered to go to her house in Fillmore and bake bread. While there, Sally offers Lucy the hides from the dead cattle the wagon train left behind in exchange for the bread. Lucy sends her son Proctor to fetch the hides and when he returns, Lucy's world will never be the same. Proctor is deathly ill and Lucy assumes the wagon train is behind it.

Days later, the wagon trail finds themselves in beautiful Mountain Meadows and set up camp. Word has spread that Proctor Robinson was "poisoned" by the wagon train, and soon Katrina and her family find themselves barricaded in a trench and under attack from the Pauite tribe and local Mormons.

Throughout the rest of the book, details and aftermath of the massacre at Mountain Meadows is laid out from the different perspectives. This was a hard and emotional read. I was not aware of this historical massacre and that itself is why books like this are important. Noelle gave a voice to those on each side in a beautiful way.
