Synopsis

Don’t Talk. Don’t Scream. Don’t Try To Escape.

Three years after the horrors at Sablefall Farm, vengeance haunts the shadows of North Yorkshire and beyond. As Elaine and Harper hunt those who destroyed their childhood, journalist Lenny Grey is drawn into a new nightmare: a string of murders echoing the past, a missing child, and a killer who preys on innocence. With the body count rising and justice blurring into revenge, a fragile alliance races to stop an evil that’s been hiding in plain sight. Dark, gripping, and relentless – Godless Creatures is perfect for fans of C.J. Tudor, Mo Hayder, and chilling British crime fiction.

★★★★★ Expect the unexpected...such clever writing!

★★★★★ Cleverly written, a real page turner, highly recommend.

Three years have passed since the harrowing events at Sablefall Farm, and life in the town is slowly returning to normal. While those around them begin to heal, Elaine and Harper secretly pursue ruthless vengeance against those who wronged them.

When investigative journalist Lenny Grey is enlisted to hunt down the man responsible for Elaine’s son’s murder eight years ago, he is drawn into a world where innocence is a memory and the unspeakable waits beneath the surface. A tip-off from a detective friend – following the grim discovery of two dead boys, their deaths chillingly reminiscent of the earlier crime – suggests the cases may be disturbingly intertwined. As the investigation deepens, it becomes clear the horror they face is far more insidious than they ever dared to suspect.

With another child now missing and the stakes rising ever higher, a fragile alliance must track down and confront a depraved serial killer before he strikes again. Justice and vengeance blur, and survival is anything but certain.


★★★★★ Godless Creatures-continues the roller coaster ride!
Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop until the last word. Gabriel Blake is such a great writer, dialogue between characters (one of my criticisms of other writers), as well as descriptions, and turns of phrases.
While there were more shudders, and horrible situations, it’s a potential look into the minds of people who have been able to survive awful trauma.

★★★★★ Is a killer born or made?
You'll find this sequel book to be as disturbing, vile, evil and totally unpredictable as the first...and just as un-put-a-down-able!
Actually, it does make me wonder how sick my own mind is having enjoyed ( I don't know if that's the right word!), such a horrific depraved piece of literature.
Great writing, brilliant storyline, and fantastic characters.
A conclusion of the first book, and possibly an ending for a next book? Who knows?
Would definitely recommend to those who like depraved, bloody, mindless horror, (apparently like me!). But be warned...Not for the faint of heart!

★★★★★ Will nature or nurture prevail in this gripping thriller?
This gripping psychological thriller is a tense page turner packed with twists and turns. Author Blake's writing flows easily and is a pleasure to read, despite the dark and chilling plot. Continuing the story begun in 'The Mother Of All Things', Elaine and her brother Liam are adults with a shocking past and horrific shared secrets. The pair have adapted to live 'normal' lives and form relationships, whilst quietly carrying out retribution on sadistic child abusers. Meanwhile, Lenny Grey, the journalist who has never closed his case file on the kidnap and murder of Elaine's son eight years earlier, uncovers a new twist in the sinister chain of child abductions.
I found this powerful and thought provoking book hard to put down, and I'm still thinking about it days later. I can't praise this book highly enough and would rate it 6 stars if I could!
