Write, Edit, Kill was such a great read. I truly have to say thank you and bravo. I had been in a reader's funk lately. I have 4 or 5 books going and really have been procrastinating on finishing any of them. This book was so good it brought me back into the mood to sit down and really devour a book.

What an interesting plot ! From the second I realized Bella Forrest was going make this a book about a serial killer going after negative book reviews I was like ohhhhh snap. Such an intense and exciting read. If your someone who avidly reads and leaves reviews as I have recently began to take part in I always struggle between being honest and not hurting someone's feelings for what you know was a lot of work for them. I connected with this book in a way I just haven't with others lately.

I highly recommend this book for mystery, thriller, and murder lovers. I once read a chart that said very few books should ever get a 5 star rating, but this book deserves one hands down.

Awesome!

I am a huge fan of the shade of vampire series and I read this first book in this series to pass the time until the next shade book came out. I loved the first book and this one was just as good! I can't wait to find out what happens next!!! I also must congratulate Bella Forrest on how amazing a writer she truly is. I don't know how she finds all the time to write this series, the shade one and the gender series!! I am a fan of all of them and so glad that I always seem to have something of hers to read!!

She done gone and done it again! I can't begin to express how impressed i am with Bella's writing, she's done even better (If that's even possible) than Lights, Camera, Gone in terms of a gripping story plot and character development. I just love her writing so much and hope she never stops writing! She's done a stunning job with fleshing Erin's character out more throughout this book, with the first being the introduction to her tragic story and this being a deep dive. The story for this was so amazing and kinda meta too, very interesting that the author in the story decides to deal with troll reviews in such a gruesome manner. I love it!

I hope Bella decides to keep writing more thriller books, i love her vampire books but feel she has definitely found another genre she excels in and plus i need her to bring the 3rd book out pronto! I need more of Erin please.

Once again, another well deserving 5 stars for Bella! Going to be reading her books for years and i sincerely hope i never get tired of her books.

[Lakevia Goode · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very impressed!!!

5 star worthy! This is the Third series I've read from this author and each has been utterly different and just as enjoyable. I stumbled accross this series while waiting for another book, and I'm glad I did. As far as this page turner goes...I love how the characters are relatable to reality, i love the twist and unexpected yet predictable turn of events come about. She has done an amazing job with giving the lead character Erin exciting tasks and leads to follow, while making the villain in the book not so predictable. I'm ready for the next book!
PS. I now have to write reviews for the other books. This author Bella Forrest is a treasure, and her books are a must read.

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Erin Bond is back. This time, there is a crazed author bent on revenge against their critics, particularly those who write one-star online reviews. The plot is solid here. We are given more insight into Erin's character and see her interact with more people. The main undercurrent of the first novel, with Erin's abduction as a child, has a presence here, and she continues to contact others in order to make those connections. There are some indications that there is more to come in relation to it, so that should be intriguing to watch develop more.

All in all, a solid addition to the Erin Bond story.

[Huiling · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow

Certainly scary that author run wild with reviews he couldnt take... But then online bullies are for real whether its review or not, they hurt for real. And author's work is hard im sure, it may even take sleepless nights and the stress always there at the back of their mind somehow. I could only salute to authors who did their very best and squeeze out all the creative brain juice out of themselves. Thumbs up to Bella for this incredible story and Yes i cant wait for the next one!

[Elizabeth Lewellen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing!!!

Okay so I've never been a huge fan of this genre but I have loved every book by Bella and had to try it. I'm absolutely hooked! The plot in is amazing. An author turned serial killer and how he murders making the murder fit the bad book review. Genius! And I love how the many character is growing. From the horrible childhood experience and growing out of everything Erin is becoming a different person. I love that is reaching out making friends and a possible boyfriend! Can't wait for another book!

[Sayra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, so much better than the first book in the series! The plot was imaginative and caught my attention from the start! I liked the hint of romance between different characters, and how the story carried out. My only fault was the ending was a little abrupt. The last 10% crammed in so much and just jumped to a conclusion. I could easily have read more on this last section and with the ending I'm genuinely interested in where this storyline could go now.

[Andrea Chiossone · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really did enjoy this, not as much as the first book in the series tho. My main problem is I found myself skipping quickly over some bits that held little interest to the story line (like the author planning what his next books would be about). I would like to read more in this series and from reading a lot of Bella Forrest, her books are usually quite quick, however this book was 3 yrs ago and there doesn’t seem to be a number 3 yet. I guess it’s a case of watch this space!

[Allyson Lenz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fast paced thriller

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Write, Edit, Kill stands alone but I also loved continuing to delve into private detective Erin Bond's persona following this series. Bella Forrest always writes an engaging story and this is quickly becoming a favorite series. Fast pace, realistic characters, and thrilling storyline to pull the reader in -- highly recommend!

[Lyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this second installment as much as the first. Bella has, yet again, created a strong and engaging female character. With this series, I look forward to the build up in the last quarter of the books. It's a given that Erin will survive, but how she will get out of a tight spot is suspenseful. The ending was satisfying and I hope there will be a third book.

[Kendra Burrage · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't write bad reviews often.... this book just wasn't good. The story was very predictable. There was no character growth. There were several references to buying underage girls off the dark web for sex. The ending was too sudden. I read it in a day and just wasn't impressed. I don't plan on reading any other books by Bella Forest based off of this book.

[Patrick Benson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great new series

I find myself devouring any of Bella's books. She definitely has strong female characters, and I am looking forward to Erin's development in the series as she connects with her other long lost "brothers and sisters".

[Bella · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thrilling, edgy at times.

The writer portrays all the characters and allows you to visualize the scene. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the books so far and all Bella Forest's books. Can't wait to read more

[Sara Nicholas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Defiantly a page turner

This book and the one previous were great reads! Awesome character development! I have to admit I finished this book in less than 24 hours, I couldn't put it down. I'm sad that there's no third one out yet!

[joseph w clouser · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great

This book was perfectly written. The storyline is exciting and the novel just flows . Couldn't put it down..
I've read other books by this author and enjoyed them as well. Waiting for a follow up novel in this series , though. 5 stars !

[Vanessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bella never disappoints!

It was exciting! Very fun to follow more than one story unfolding, but always coming back full circle to the main character. I love how she leaves the wonderment of what the next book will entail. I’m ready for more!!

[Miss Kathleen Bones · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fast paced thriller

Loved this second book in the series, easy to get hooked moves quickly and doesn't get too bogged down or complicated, can't wait to see how the Erin Bond story grows. Well worth a read!

[Tara Nebel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun read

The second book in this series was creative and held my attention better than the first. The storyline around Erin's past is developing and wanting me to know more! Can't wait for the next one.

[Debra Chiaro · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read!

Truly enjoyed this book and I look forward to the next one. Ms. Forrest tends to have wonderful characters who are very believable and I'm going to go a little crazy waiting for the next book. Thanks
