It started out a bit slow but packed with punches half way through the end.
I liked the book, the plot, the characters, everything meshed for me. Buy this book people!!!! See what these sisters will do to find an answer to mysterious deaths, and how and, who is behind them! Good reading and thanks to the authors!!!
Good read. Good characters. Good plot.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I mostly read when I’m trying to fall asleep, and as an insomniac I need books that are engaging enough to keep me interested, but not the sort that I can’t put down until it’s finished. This fit the bill perfectly. I liked the way the perspective went back and forth between the 2 female protagonists; they each had their own voice and own viewpoint. Well done.
Great read kept me on the edge of my seat
The yin and yang of the sisters was special.
I enjoyed this book and getting to know the characters.
Masterly! Keeps you guessing right up to the last moments, but while you want to know the result, you do not want Berry’s story-weaving skill to end.
Moved at a good pace. I liked it very much
Fun and quirky relationship between the sister. Story is entertaining with strong believable characters!
Idiotically pretentious.
I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the next book in that line.
Great read. Fast paced with great characters.
Tense, unexpected ending.
This book had me hooked from the start. I have my degree in criminal justice and love shows like Criminal Minds. 1st Shock was an awesome story and I didn’t want to put it down. The Schock sisters’ knowledge of a previous killer as well as the cold cases they are working on lead them toward a potential serial killer. This book was exciting and had elements of suspense and romance in addition to being a psychological thriller. I can’t wait to read book 2.
I bought this book and am voluntarily sharing my honest review.
1st Shock is book one in the new series titled Schock Sisters Mystery series. This story hooked me from the start. It kept me turning pages long after I had planned to stop reading for the night. I just couldn’t get enough. I highly recommend it!
Two sisters, Charlize (Charlie) and Meg
Eleanor Schock own and run the Schock
Investigations.
Both sisters have differing personalities
and skills although both are highly trained.
They have started their own firm to help victims
who are unable to find justice for themselves
after being murdered by serial killers.
Most victims come to the firm from law
enforcement officers trying to solve cold cases.
The sisters are able to take an unknown, help
give identity, help appended killers plus they
are able to reunite living families.
Charlie is a forensic psychologist and profiler.
Meg is a forensic sculptor. Matt is a Private
Investigator former having worked in law
enforcement who works with the sisters.
A blood chilling, terrorizing investigation that
will keep the reader involved from the first to
the last word.
1st Shock is a thrilling beginning to a new series.
The characters are well defined, artfully created
involved in a drama with many twists and turns
plus lots of intrigue.
A Highly Recommended Read!!
I volunteered to read 1st Shock. Thanks to the
author for the opportunity. My opinion is voluntary
and my own.
This is the best book i have read all year. It has action suspense strong women and keeps you on the edge of your seat. i could not put the book down. This is a fantastic beginning to a new series and I look forward to the new book. Meg is a forensic sculptor and her sister Charlie is a forensic psychologist. They run an investigative firm. They investigate cold cases mostly. In this are working on a serial killer case. Is the killer really behind bars or is there a copycat? You have got to read this book. I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.
This is a great start to a new series. The Schock sisters deal with the macabre on daily basis – from Charlie, the forensic psychologist and former FBI profiler, to Meg, the sculptor that recreates the faces from the skulls of murder victims.
They are attempting to identify the victims of a serial killer that they helped to convict years before when they realize that he couldn’t have killed them all. What follows is a well written story that kept me flipping pages just as quickly as possible.
I loved the characters and can’t wait to read more of their exploits. This series is off to a great start and fans of the genre will love this one.
Put this on your must read list. The two authors are on my must read list, both individually and as a team.
The first Schock sisters book is wonderful. I am always wary to give a five star rating to the FIRST book in a series because then where will the author go from there? This is a great story that will keep you interested from the very beginning until you find out who did it in the end.
