The blurb calling this a YA "Silence of the Lambs" is spot-on. "None Shall Sleep" is a creepy, bloody serial killer mystery that is fast-paced and honestly unputdownable. I kept trying to take breaks from reading to get other stuff down but kept thinking about it! It's one of the strongest YA thrillers I've read for a hot second.
The main characters balance each other out so well, and make for a really solid team; I loved Emma and Travis' dynamic and the way they listened to, encouraged, and respected one another so thoroughly. The writing style is very strong and I think it's clear the author knew the direction she was going in; she makes EVERY chapter count and builds up some aspect of the book super nicely. I definitely want to check out some of Marney's other books.
I think if you've read or watched other thriller/serial killer stories, the plot won't feel ~that~ fresh, or might even be a little predictable. But even if you know the tropes, the writing and characters really make "None Shall Sleep" stand out! It's just a strong book and surprisingly full of heart and thoughtful moments. For that alone I'd recommend this one.… (més)

Please do yourself a favor and listen to this on audiobook, the narrators are fantastic, especially for Simon! What a thrilling read.
An interesting concept executed in a way I found difficult to put down. Two teenagers are brought in by the FBI to interview teenage serial killers that have already been apprehended, end up providing insight to an ongoing case. I thought the relationships between characters were great, but the dialogue felt a little awkward. While the conclusion of the case portion of the plot was well written, what followed left something to be desired. Overall I say this is worth the read.
