Some Shall Break

Written by Ellie Marney

Narrated by Christine Lakin and Jake Abel

This electrifying, chilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling thriller None Shall Sleep focuses on junior FBI consultants Travis Bell and Emma Lewis with a new case that may unravel everything they’ve been working for. 

After a harrowingly close contact with juvenile sociopath Simon Gutmunsson, junior FBI consultants Emma Lewis and Travis Bell went their separate ways: Emma rejected her Quantico offer and Travis stayed to train within a new unit of the FBI Behavioral Science division. But the unit’s latest case is feeling eerily familiar and Kristin Gutmunsson—Simon Gutmunsson’s eccentric twin—reaches out to Travis to send a warning: Emma is in peril.
 
When Travis and Kristin turn up evidence that points back to Daniel Huxton, the serial killer that Emma had escaped, things become more complicated. With a copycat on the loose, Emma returns to Quantico and is thrown back into her past traumas. Compelled to prevent more tragedy—even if it means putting herself in danger—Emma turns to Simon for help once again. But Simon is keeping secrets that could impact their entire investigation. Will the team be able to stop the Huxton copycat before time runs out for his next victims?

Reviews for Some Shall Break

[heatherlinc · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

"Some Shall Break" started slowly but the action cranked up the more I read. As for the end - oh, wow! The last page should have had "to be continued" on it because there HAS to be a third book after that ending. What a cliffhanger!

I am surprised this series is not more popular than it is because I have found it addictive. I have recommended "None Shall Sleep" to a number of students only to have them return demanding this novel. Every one of them has said how much they loved Emma and Travis, and of course, Simon, who really is a charming, diabolical villain. His character is so well-written; he shines every time he appears on the page.

Although I found "Some Shall Break" a bit slower than "None Shall Sleep", I was still fully invested in the novel - I just wanted more of Simon! Marney knows how to write a gripping serial killer novel with mystery and intrigue that will keep the reader turning pages.

I can't wait for Emma and Travis' next dangerous adventure - they still have things they have to accomplish. I hope I don't have to wait too long before it is published.
