It’s emotional, gripping, and brings history to life through the eyes of three strong women. The Mountain Meadows Massacre backdrop adds depth, and their stories will stick with you. It’s intense but so worth it! You won’t be able to put it down.

I want to preface my review by saying that I don't think this should be marketed as a thriller because it's more of a historical fiction book. As a thriller girlie, I was looking for the thriller element but I couldn't find it and it may make a difference on how other folks may view this book.

Anyway, this was one of the most interesting reads I've ever had this year. Such a pleasant surprise. When I put aside my biases, I was hooked. The intertwined lives of Lucy, Sally, and Kit were so heartbreaking. It led me to research more on the Mountain Meadows Massacre and I was devastated. I love how Miss Ihli was able to describe the feeling of each side of the story that there's no way you can pick a side (at least for me). They've all suffered because of the selfish decision that their leaders had. An amazing depiction of that particular incident history. How do I know if I love the book? I READ THE AUTHOR'S AFTERWORD. I couldn't get enough it was that good. And I found out her personal connection to the story (also those supernatural events that led her to finish the book. Spirits were spirit-ing. I guess they wanted their story to be sent out there.) I LOVE this book. it will stay with me forever.

None Left to Tell is based on real life story of the Mountain Meadow Massacres. I’ve honestly have never read a thriller that is based on a true story and I was a little hesitant going into this book but I’ve come to since learn that Noelle W. Ihli does NOT disappoint. I finished this book and instantly read 2 more from this author. None Left to Tell was detailed beautifully and kept me need more after each and every chapter. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was A LOT of names and sometimes too much detail and back and forth. I was wanting more in some chapters but then had to remind myself that it’s based on a true story so of course this isn’t a fictional story to dramatize.

What a remarkable yet haunting story based on an actual historical event.

The introduction included a list of “characters” and map of territories from a few years before the Civil War. Initially, I just thought this was part of the plot. I had absolutely no idea this happened. A few chapters in, I was surprised and thought “no way this is real”. Googled it. It absolutely is.

Now, I’ve read a few of the authors books that are thriller/suspense and fantastic. This was a whole different level of suspense.

Without giving too much away, the story bounces back and forth from Katrina, Sally, and Lucy.

Katrina and her family are part of a growing 100+ wagon group traveling from the Midwest to California for a better life to raise their sickly child.

Sally, a Native American woman who was taken as a child to be “gifted” as a bride to a man she doesn’t know well and whose other wives treat badly.

Lucy is a devout LDS believer and fled across the country with her family to escape persecution for her Mormon faith. Finally, they’ve found safety and community in Utah.

All three women tell their stories of the history and horror of the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

Thank you to the author, Dynamite Books, and NetGalley giving me this opportunity for an ARC.

This is a thriller based off true events that occurred during the mountain meadows massacre. We follow a few different characters throughout the book and find out what truly happens during this massacre and how it affected so many people.

Wow… just wow. This book is extremely well written, you can tell how much time and research the author put in to making this story work. I feel like a lot of historical fiction type books can become boring and drawn out, but there’s just enough additional storyline incorporated that I never felt like it was lacking. It held my attention from start to finish and I had a tough time putting it down!

Highly recommend! I think this book is a great introduction to anyone who may be interested in historical fiction. Personally, I’m all about true crime right now and this book just did it for me. I love reading about true events that I haven’t heard of before!

So this was my 1st ARC on NetGalley it took me a few chapters before I got really into this book but after that i was very interested in it specially about the involved of the US President at that time I like the way it was written sometimes historical fiction can be hard to read because of the time period it is in but this book wasn’t like that if you like reading about American history then this book is for you

Great read! This was a fascinating tale based on true events! So entertaining and suspenseful! I love this author and hate when I have to put her books down and adult! Grab this one!

This is my first read by this (usually) thriller author who is spoken of highly amoung my book group.
I did enjoy the read very much, aside from it being incredibly depressing.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide honest opinion in exchange for a free ARC read.
I wasn't expecting it based on the things I've heard about the authors other works.
I very much enjoy quick thrillers and requested this read solely based on the Author and not the book description.
Many included facts were very interesting and new to me and kept me interested!
It has lead me to do more interesting research on the massacre it is based on; however, historical reads like this aren't really my cup of tea... but it was, honestly, a great read.

Im not much of a fan of reading books that are about the past. However, this one had me hooked after a few chapters. The story is from the 1800’s and it tells stories from a few ladies pov’s. Once you get to know each character you can ease right into the book. Her writing made it play out like I was watching a movie. Such a devastating story.

Noelle Ihli
None Left To Tell

Do not read this one if you are a fan of sweet, sugary, happy-every-after historical fiction fairytales. Never ever read this one if you think books should be about nice and happy events only. Don’t even think about picking up this book if you think that authors who write about really deranged events (that actually happened, btw!) in the most gruesome detail are not alright in the head. Forget you ever heard about this book if your life’s motto is let bygones be bygones and let’s not dwell on the past. Run, run, and make sure you forget you ever saw this book’s cover if you believe that past should stay in the past and it should have nothing to do with you.
Now that I have gotten this off my chest, where were we?
Oh, yes, this book. It’s horrible, it's horribly horror-filled and horribly heart-breaking. It always breaks my heart to find out that there have been actual historical events like this. Yes, this is fiction. Yes, this is historical fiction. But also, yes, it’s based on true events.
In true Noelle Ihli manner, this book will take you places. Places you probably would never ever want to go in real life. In a true Noelle Ihli manner, the book is filled with horror, heartbreak, and pain. But worst of all, the part of being based on true events. That’s something that now lives in my head rent-free.
This is a horror-filled thriller that meets a history book chapter you didn’t know existed and you didn’t know you so desperately needed to read.
Despite its pub date being set to make it a spooky season book (October 10), there is nothing spooky about it.


p.s
Also, "We're safe. We're together. We're almost there." It has been MY mantra for years, for decades now. It’s weird seeing it in a book. Said by someone else. My exact words. Word by word.

So amazing I read it in just a few days! Never learned about this is school and I’m glad the story is being told. Cannot wait to recommend to all my bookish friends.

What an incredible and gut wrenching story. I felt so emotionally invested in the characters and the writing really made me feel like I was part of the story. Ihli really stepped it up with this one.

The narrative is inspired by a very grim and true massacre from the mid-19th century. It's surprising to me that I hadn’t heard about it before, considering how intense the subject matter is. Ihli does an excellent job of making the book approachable, even with its pre-Civil War backdrop. It’s definitely a challenging read, the type that leaves a heavy feeling in your chest both during and after finishing it. While it’s not exactly a fast-paced book, the first half is packed with events, and the second half feels a bit disjointed until everything starts to come together, gradually pulling your heart down.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I have to say it was such a powerful story and deserved to be told. I'm not a huge historical fiction fan but this book kept me engaged and wanting to see how things turned out. Some parts were tough to read but to learn something about our history in the United States that I don't feel is told, was powerful. I was up until the middle of the night finishing this one. There's a bit of twist that I didn't see coming that was really interesting.

This book was completed unexpected by me from this author. I would not call it a psychological thriller, however, I would say it is an important book to read. I felt so many emotions reading this books; sadness, joy, outrage, disbelief and the list go on. This is a book that will make you question what you have learned in school and how written history is based on who writes it and not fact. This book is a 5 star read. Difficult to read but important nonetheless.

WOW. Full stop. WOW.

I have been SLEEPING on Noelle West Ihli, y'all. Previously I'd only read Gray After Dark, which is also a phenomenal read that I cannot recommend highly enough.

None Left to Tell is absolutely stunning. This is a masterful work of historical horror that is based on true events. Ihli has clearly meticulously researched these events and poured her heart and soul into this writing. The imagery is beautiful and the story is heartbreaking and gut wrenching. I can say with confidence that I've never read anything like this. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but it surpassed all of my expectations and then some.

With several different POVs, None Left to Tell is the story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the culmination of tension between three wildly different groups of people. Lucy, Katrina and Sally are three incredible women and their stories captivated me from the first page right until the last pages.

I won't lie, this one was hard to read at times, especially knowing that it was inspired by real life events, but I think that it brings light to an important and little known or discussed event. It is told boldly, it doesn't hide behind itself and it is done with grace and dignity. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend this one!

This book was so boring. Yeah, there was some murder in it but it wasn’t like her other book I had read. I really struggled to get through this one. I had to push myself to keep going. I’m not going to post on social media as not to not hurt her reviews.

I've read other books by Noelle Ihli, which I loved, they're always so beautifully written and this one is no exception but I found it a bit dull at the beginning (the first half) and unfortunately boring too. The second half was more compelling and interesting, very moving too. It's a well researched book in which the feelings of the author really shine through.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me entertained the whole time. I appreciate netgalley providing me with this advanced copy!

This was not what I expected from this author. This was more historical than anything. Not the type of thriller I wanted to read from this author. There was a lot of research done while writ8ng this book, the author even gave disclaimers.
