Between The Pages - Evil Stalks the Night

Evil Stalks the Night

By  Kathryn Meyer Griffith

July 2012

Twenty years ago psychic Sarah Summers fled from the evil that lurked in the woods behind her childhood home after it killed most of her family, but a nasty divorce and financial hardships forced her back when nothing else could have. With her son, Jeremy, she returns to her grandmother's dilapidated house and tries to begin a new life. She meets a police detective, Ben, who falls for her, and she prays her fresh visions of bloodshed and death deep among the dark trees are not true. Then the murders begin again and Sarah is hurtled back into the familiar nightmare that has haunted her her whole life. The evil in the woods is awake again...and this time it wants her last remaining brother, Jim; her son...and her. With Ben and Jim's help can she defeat it this time...and live?

Between The Pages of this story is a fast-paced thriller that basically scared the wits out of me. I felt like I was experiencing the terror right along with Sarah. This was a well-rounded story told in the POV of Sarah, but I thought it added depth by bringing in a few other POV’s, including the Evil which was a surprising twist. There’s just something about Ms. Griffith’s covers that hook me and usually the first paragraph or two definitely draw me in. Kudos to Ms. Griffith for another story well done! I definitely recommend this book to all    horror/suspense/thriller fans looking for a gripping, edge of your seat, and down right creepy read!

Between The Page - The Good Woman

The Good Woman

By Jane Porter

September 2012

     The firstborn of a large Irish-American family, Meg Brennan Roberts is a successful publicist, faithful wife, and doting mother who prides herself on always making the right decisions. But years of being “the good woman” have taken a toll and though her winery career thrives, Meg feels burned out and empty, and more disconnected than ever from her increasingly distant husband. Lonely and disheartened, she attends the London Wine Fair with her boss, ruggedly handsome vintner, Chad Hallahan. It’s here, alone together in an exotic city, far from “real” life, that Chad confesses his long-standing desire for Meg.
     Overwhelmed, flattered, and desperately confused, Meg returns home, only to suddenly question every choice she’s ever made, especially that of her marriage. For Meg, something’s got to give, and for once in her life she flees her responsibilities—but with consequences as reckless and irreversible as they are liberating. Now she must decide whether being the person everyone needs is worth losing the woman she was meant to be.

Between The Pages of this story is about a woman tried of living the perfect life. A wonderfully told story filled with the ups and downs of every day life, family, and romance. I started reading this book and could not put it down! As a huge Jane Porter fan, I had high expectations and this story did not disappoint. The  emotion is explosive and the characters will draw you in. You’ll cry and smile, and run to the store to get the next book in the series!

Between The Pages - Unearthed

Unearthed

By J.S .Marlo

June 2012

     Shaped by regrets. Bound by duty. Driven by secrets. Rowan's future is jeopardized by the regrets she harbors and the deadly secrets she unearths.

     Obligated to give up the man she loves, Rowan O'Reilly takes over Buccaneer Bed & Breakfast. Though her heart is in shambles, she is drawn to Avery Stone, a mysterious guest who reminds her of Bjorn…and everything she lost.

     Haunted by a fatal decision, Avery escapes his past in Buccaneer's attic, but he can't ignore the previous owner's peculiar death, the strange bones exhumed by the spirited Rowan…or the annoying doctor vying for her attention.

     As visitors wreak havoc on Buccaneer, Rowan stumbles onto deadly family secrets and unknowingly unearths a murderer. Yet nothing, not even the threat of her predecessor's fate, can stop her from digging for the truth.

Between The Pages of this story are interesting  characters and edge of your seat suspense. Unearthed is the story of Rowan, Riley’s daughter (from Unscripted/Book 1). While this book also contains several points of view, I didn’t find them as intruding as the first book. This story has emotion and suspense twisted together as you turn the pages to reveal another clue to the mystery. The author does a great job with the plot line and of hiding the true identity of the killer. You’ll be suspecting every character’s motives. A really enjoyable read. I can’t wait to read the third story in the series, Untamed!

Between The Pages - Unscripted

Unscripted

By J.S. Marlo

April 2012

     Shaped by fire. Bound by duty. Driven by love. Riley's tumultuous life rivals the television scripts she writes for Wild Rescue.      

     After a bullet shatters his world, actor Blythe Huxley befriends Riley Kendrick, a new writer on the television show Wild Rescue, never expecting to discover a kindred spirit.

No stranger to tragedy, Riley lends a compassionate ear to Blythe's difficulties and soon becomes entangled in a web of illicit affairs and deadly intrigue.

     When an arsonist and a killer both strike, Riley's fate intertwines with Blythe's, and her life and her heart hang in the balance. Will they be able to protect their past? And save their future? 

Between The Pages of this story is a good romance mystery. The story includes several points of view, which intruded on the flow of the read for me. I also wasn’t sure who the hero was until much later in the story. However, even with the different points of view, and my confusion over who the hero was, the story is captivating with twists and turns that keep you guessing who is after Riley. Just when you think you know who it is, there’s someone else to suspect. This well-written story of friendship, loss, and romance is a must read for anyone who likes a good suspense mixed in.
