Review:
By the time I had completed reading the first page I struggled to put this book down until it was finished. The book is written in the first person from Lana's perspective and also from the journal entries, breaking the chapters and leaving the reader on a cliff's edge. 'In the Blood' is one of those books that gets you so absorbed that I got carried away with the story and missed all the clues given by the author. So much so that I had to go back and re-read when I finally realised where the plot was leading. With her latest, Unger is able to keep the suspense going from start to finish. However, this book didn't quite make being a 5 star review only due to the tenuous motive for the crime. I feel there was the potential for the person responsible to be given more depth and reasons for their actions which were never fully explained. Having said that 'In the Blood' is still a great read and well worth investigating. Highly entertaining.
