"Three women, connected by one of the most brutal mass slayings in US history."
None Left to Tell follows Lucy, Katrina and Sally who face unimaginable trials during a time of upheaval. This was my first time reading anything by this author and I can not wait to read more of her books. I was turning pages until the very end with how beautiful this was written. The author did a great job with the history in this book and it taught me something I did not know about. At the ending I loved how she was related to this part in history and especially loved how the characters in this book are based on real people. Overall I will never forget this amazing tale of survival in this historical fiction and thriller book. I loved this historical fiction book and will highly recommend this to any reader but if you love reading historical fiction then this is a must read. Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for this amazing read in exchange of honest review of None Left to Tell by Noelle W. Ihlli.

This is a historical fiction thriller. Do not deter from the fact that this story is based on the Mountain Meadow Massacre that happened in Utah from September 7–11, 1857. This resulted in the massacre of at least 120 members of the Baker-Fancher emigrant wagon train. Three parties were involved; the emigrants who were crossing, the Paiute Indians and the Mormon settlers.
This is told in alternating POV’s between three of the strongest women that I have ever read about and had no idea they existed until now. One Native American, one emigrant and one Moron wife. Even though this is a very graphic story, it is based on true events with massive amounts of research. Those graphic points need to be told in order to fully understand what was happening.
This is a book that I will keep on my shelves and reread. This story will never leave me. The strength and resilience, the love and the pain, the hope and the devastation that happened during this time period is so immense I cant quantify it. I could talk all day about motives and misinformation and what else was going on during this time in our nation’s history, but at the end of the day, remember how lucky we are to live where we live and not have to fight these sorts of battles.

WOW. What an incredibly well-written and heartbreaking story. This book was hard to read at points, and the fact that it is based on true event makes it even more gut-wrenching.

This story follows the true events of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Even though the story is fictional, it is heavily based on what happened.

I loved the way the three different viewpoints and stories intertwined with each other. I felt connected to each FMC and routed for them but in such different ways. And I felt like the author did such a good job honoring the real events that happened but still making it an even-paced book.

*Trigger warning for violence, some against children and women, as it is graphic but important to the story!

I can’t even explain how good the writing was, and how important the story feels. I’m so glad I picked this one up! Again, it’s hard to say I enjoyed the story when the events are so harrowing, but I did. It had me emotionally invested and emotionally drained, and I will recommend this to everyone who can appreciate being better educated, even with tough material.

Thank you to Netgalley and Dynamite Books for an advanced copy of None Left to Tell in exchange for an honest review. Release date: October 11th, 2024

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every once in a while I come across a book that stays with me for days or months or years. I already know I will be thinking about this book for years to come. Noelle W. Ihli did a marvelous job showing three very different perspectives to the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I felt like I was another family member observing and experiencing all of the events with these women. This book is heartwrenching and very heavy but worth the read.

I really enjoy Noelle Ihli books. This one is not a thriller but historical fiction. This book is based on the true story of the events of the Mountain Meadow Massacre.

This is a different type of read for me. I did enjoy it but I’m more of a thriller twist and turn type of girl. But I think people will really enjoy this book. This book releases October 10th so make sure to grab it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher Dynamite Books for the arc of this book.

This is not a thriller but more so a historical fiction novel! I just want to preference with that because Noelle usually writes thrillers. :) I have never heard of the Mountain Meadows Massacre prior to this book so this book was super informative to me that way. This definitely has a slow start and I struggled to get into it at first but I'm glad I powered through. The themes of this story alone makes it a must read.

This book follows three women and their story regarding the Mountain Meadow Massacre and each woman's story is vastly different but it is truly a story of survival and loss. I think if you like historical fiction and are curious about learning more regarding the Mormon faith and a historical event that happened, then I think you will really enjoy this book!

"None Left to Tell" by Noelle Ihli covers the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a tragic event in American history that took place in 1857. This massacre involved the killing of a large group of emigrants traveling from Arkansas to California by a group of Mormon militia in southern Utah. While I personally found this book more historical than. thriller, it captivated me and was a page turner until the end.

This book is an amazing telling of events. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started reading as any type of historical fiction isn’t normally my type but I absolutely loved this book.

It is told from multiple different points of view which leads to multiple different views on the same exact massacre which is exactly what this book needed.

While this is isn’t the typical thriller from Noelle Ihli she absolutely brought this story to life and did an amazing job telling the story and making you feel everything throughout the book!

I enjoy Noelle Ihli’s books. This book is mistakenly categorized as a thriller. It is not a thriller. It is a historical fiction novel based on true events from 1857. Noelle Ihli did a good job representing these characters and this story.

I don’t think I would necessarily label this as a thriller, but never less this was a profound book.

Even though this is quite different than the author’s typical books, I think this was an important story for her to tell, and that really came across here

My criticisms first. This book is labeled as a thriller. I think that's a mistake and misleading because it doesn't represent what a thriller is in my opinion. This is more a tragic and sad historical fiction type story.

Three women, all connected via murderous tragedy and at the center of it all, the Mormon church. I had not heard of the Mountain Meadows Massacre and likely for good reason, since no one wants to take credit for being behind it. This book is an examination of faith, motherhood, family ties, and pilgrimage and the lengths one would go for each of these. It often made me wonder, which is stronger in it's convictions, the belief in God and carrying out his will or the belief that a mother will do ANYTHING to keep her child safe. It was slow at times and very sad at others. I would like to say it had a happy ending, but ultimately it's hard for any joy to be found when 100+ people senselessly lost their lives. The author says that she was raised in the Mormon church and I did find this book slightly critical of the Mormon religion.

I enjoyed it overall, I just went in expecting a thriller and got a completely different type of book.

I really wanted to read this one because I am a fan of the author: Noelle W. Ihli. None Left to Tell is not like Noelle’s other books. The book comes with trigger warnings such as: graphic descriptions of violence, including children, as well as racially insensitive phrases and words. It is a historical thriller based on true events.

This story started off slow for me, it is not my typical read, but as it went on I had to keep reading. It follows the lives of 3 women in Utah and their experiences during a difficult time in history. There were many points in the story where I wanted to cry! I had to prepare myself to read this one. The young children and what they went through and witnessed was heart wrenching. My favorite thing about this story is the strong female characters and what they do to protect their families and themselves.

🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is a very intense and deeply emotional read. This book is based on historical events that happened during the Mountain Meadow Massacre. The story follows three woman as they cross through different states heading West and the horrific struggles they encounter in their journeys.
It’s an extremely captivating and heartbreaking read. The author does a great job telling the story and giving vivid details the whole way through.

Thank you to NetGalley for an arc of this beautifully written and emotional story.
*It comes out October 10th.*

I had no idea what I would think of this book as l'm not into historical fiction. I have read other Noelle Ihli books and loved them so I knew this would be a great read! The author wrote based on facts and the POVs of three women and it was heartbreaking to think of these things happening back then! I highly recommend reading this book and any others by Noelle Ihli!
Thank you NetGalley and Dynamite Books for the ARC to read and review!

None Left to Tell **review**
I started reading this book at the beginning of September, and I can say I was not prepared for what it was going to be. I have read 3 of Noelle's books (including this one), I have liked her writing since the first book, once I saw she posted about this book in her Instagram page, and I read her inspiration for this book I knew I needed to read it. I didn't have knowledge about the Massacre, and I thank Noelle for bringing light to it with her book.

I can say that the book has a lot of emotion, from the first page you can feel it. I can tell future/potential readers that you'll have a great ride with this one. You'll feel the sadness through the pages, you'll cry, you'll feel helpless, you'll want to be able to stop those horrible things that went down, and the end will break you, the whole book will. However, you'll be able to say that you are so glad that you took the time to read it, because this book deserves to be read by MILLIONS of people. Noelle put the time and found the words to create the masterpiece that this book is, I know there's nothing we can do now to stop the actions that caused those lives to end, but we can try to shine more light to the event, because those souls deserve to be remembered.

Lastly, I thank Net Galley & Noelle W. Ihli for letting me read this masterpiece before its release to the public. This book will always be a 5 stars book, and one of my favorite one's.

(Next, two quotes from "None Left to Tell")
"Like the Bible I'd loved since I was a girl, I felt the truth of it like sacred balm, soothing all my doubts."
"Clubs and knives. Women and children. Do your duty. None left to tell."

Do not skip this book!!! If you have read previous thrillers by Noelle W. Ihli, this is a significant departure from those works but do not let that stop you from reading.

None Left to Tell is an extraordinary piece of historical fiction that takes readers deep into the heart of one of America’s darkest moments: the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Noelle W. Ihli masterfully weaves a narrative that is both gripping and emotionally resonant, immersing us in a tale that is as haunting as it is enlightening.

The story is centered around a tragic event in 1857, where a group of emigrants faced unimaginable betrayal and violence. Ihli’s characters are vividly drawn, each grappling with their own fears, hopes, and moral dilemmas in the face of atrocity. The author’s ability to portray their internal struggles adds layers of complexity, making their experiences feel profoundly real and relatable.

What sets this book apart is Ihli’s meticulous research and her compassionate storytelling. She doesn’t shy away from the horrors of the massacre, yet she also illuminates the humanity of those involved, allowing readers to understand the historical context and the motivations behind their actions. The emotional weight of the narrative is palpable; you find yourself deeply invested in the fates of the characters as they navigate survival and loss.

This is the easiest five stars I've given all year.

Huge fan of Noelle W. Ihli and was so excited for a new book. Definitely not what I expected, but got pulled in quickly and enjoyed following the story of these 3 women in this historical thriller.

Noelle Ihli books are some of my favorites when I'm in a reading slump. She writes in a way that makes it feel like you are in the story, everything is so vivid. I requested this book just because of the author. I didn't read the synopsis going into it and I'm glad I didn't. This book is different than the other stories I've read from this author. It was more of a historical thriller and I was immediately hooked when she said it was based on true events. I couldn't put this book down and when I had to, I was thinking about it. This is in the running to be my favorite book of the year. Go into it blind, just read it.

5⭐️

This year Noelle W. Ihli has become one of my favorite authors. I just finished reading Gray After Dark when I found out her new novel, None Left to Tell, was available on NetGalley. I feel so honored to be selected to read this ARC. This is unlike any other of her books. It’s based on the real events of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I personally wouldn’t place this in a thriller category, but it is extremely well written, emotional, and terrifying. There is a list of possible triggers at the beginning. I would highly recommend looking through those before starting, especially since these are based on real lives(and deaths).

Thank you to NetGalley and Dynamite Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. This review will be shared on NetGalley, Goodreads, and Amazon.

This book is a heavy heavy one. But, I think the story is so important to tell. Most authors shy away from trying to create a story around a true and devastating event. But, I think that this book is proof that it can be done and done well. I would 100% recommend this book, but please remember to check trigger warnings.

The characters in this book feel so real and honest. It’s amazing how much you can relate to them. The things they had to endure breaks your heart. The plot itself is so realistic because it is real to a point. These things happened to people and it’s just such a good representation of the horrors humans are capable of.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
