Disclaimer: I received the book Thin Blood from the author for reading prior to conducting an author Interview, which can be found by Googling IndieView Vicki Tyley. Having said that my reviews are honest and not influenced by how I receive a book. I seldom if ever review books I don't enjoy.I read Thin Blood in one sitting. It kept sucking me in chapter after chapter. I wanted to stop but the heroine Jacinta kept on doing something that made it impossible to do so. I could imagine her as an utterly maddening girlfriend, but one you wouldn't want to be without. She kept doing amazingly brave but crazy stuff, like inviting potential killers over for dinner.I really felt for her long suffering and supportive boyfriend, and she had me cringing thinking "Oh no not again" several times through the plot.The characters were all "fleshed out" and had good depth, flawed people trying get by in the world we live in. No super muscled heroes here, just ordinary folks doing extra ordinary things - real world style. I especially liked the part played by Daniel, but no spoilers from me so to find out why read it yourself.Which brings me to the plot and mystery. It kept me guessing and going back in forth choosing between them, and in the end, I got it wrong. I didn't guess it - but I should have. That's a good mystery, well told.
