Fantastic Teen Thriller

When Somerset University freshman, and pathology assistant, Jenna Blake, faces a new murder mystery plaguing the student population of Somerset, she realizes just how close she's being brought to the haunting crimes. Everyone has strange, yet possible theories involving the crimes, including Jenna's half-brother, Pierce Logan, the new guy in town. Meanwhile, Jenna begins having feelings towards an older man, which are abruptly interrupted, when the Thief of Hearts begins hunting on Somerset's campus, and someone very close to Jenna is his prey.I was skeptical about THIEF OF HEARTS, as I thought that it could never outdo the previous book in the series, BODY BAGS. I was completely wrong. THIEF OF HEARTS is a fantastic, hold onto your seat, thrill ride, that brings you up close and personal with grizzly murders, and the procedures the officials use to solve the case, both in the medical examiner's office, and the police department. Fans of BODY BAGS will find that THIEF OF HEARTS, while being a sequel, is both terrifying and engrossing, and will find it hard to put it down until the very last page is turned. A must-have for everyone, except the faint of heart.Erika Sorocco

Another great read with lots of twists

Christopher Golden has hooked me with his new Jenna Blake series. This book was even better than the first if that is possible and was anything but predictable which makes his books very enjoyable. I can't wait to read his new one. This is a must read for mystery fans. They won't be disappointed with the characters, plot, or the way he draws you into the book and makes you feel like you are there and know the people.

A PAGE TURNER, TWISTED MURDER MYSTERY, BY CHRISTOPHER GOLDEN

I read Thief of Hearts by Christopher Golden. In a college town a series of murders mysteriously happen. Jenna Blake, a freshman college student, can't relax until the crime is solved. I like this book because it's intriguing even if it is twisted. You'll especially like it if you like mystery and murder stories. The characters and storyline is realistic. I would recommend this book for teens and up.

This is the greatest book I' ve ever read!

It's the greatest book I've ever read because it was interesting. Not boring like the books you have to read in school. I wanted to keep reading it. I couldn't put this book down.

Steal your heart

Christopher Golden continues to expand the character of Jenna Blake as she learns more about her college, her family, her friends, and her job as the M.E.'s assistant......only to have a mid-book twist that panged my heart to read. I literally had to stop reading, go do some other things for a few minutes, and come back, because I couldn't believe what he'd done. And that I was crying. Talk about tugging at the readers' emotions... Bravo again, Christopher!
