I so enjoyed Blood Dolls. Author Dr. Bon Blossman has done a spectacular job in the continuing story of the highly engaging character of Fiona Frost. This book kept me on the edge of my seat from the start all the way through the very last page. Any reader who loves an inventive and surprising mystery, not just young adults, will enjoy this book. I am so pleased to highly recommend this book, and I certainly look forward to reading more from the extremely talented author, Dr. Bon Blossman, as soon as I possibly can!
Author Bon Blossman's Blood Dolls is full of twists and adrenaline-pumping excitement. This is a "stay up all night to finish" read. Teens will love this book which encompasses computer technology, the occult, and medical science along with drama and age-appropriate romance. Recommended for home and school libraries.
Excellent unspooling of intrigue here, written in a smooth and natural cadence so welcome to the reader. We’re grabbed at the start with the mother’s reaction to the Bleak Society’s transmission, and since we are a tech-wired society, the hacker-based plotting grabs us well. Nice job. The author has taken the complex ‘wiring’ of the tech-based storyline and allowed even the least tech-minded to understand. Author shows an excellent talent for dialogue, and we get some very real speech patterns and humor, such as ‘Batman cash.’ Very vivid description there and in many other instances. We get a lot of sensory details like the soft snaps of slippers that make this a very real world and a very realistic experience. The Blood Doll Killer is a unique threat, again pleasing to the reader for its departure from the usual killer profiles. The author has put a lot of work and knowledge into the FBI-worthy investigation and pursuit portions, and the underground vigilantes also pull at our attention level, being such a reflection of the kinds of hate groups we see in our media every day. Well done. Author writes bad guys with particular talent. The end, with the doll named Sarah, is especially chilling and an emotionally-wrought last note of a terrific story. Well done.

First I've read in the series and can't imagine they could get better
I love YA books! This one was a page turner! I hadn't read the rest of the series, I started with this one, but to me - it didn't matter - I wasn't lost or anything and jumped right in. I will definitely go back and start with #1. Keep writing these! I have to see what happens next with Fiona!
