Book Review: Unexpected Excellent Suspense
Summary: 5 Stars
Reviewed by Sally Gorsuch for RebeccasReads (06/09
If you like a good, attention grabbing suspense story and think that you are pretty good at figuring it all out shortly into the story - then you will have to think again. This is a well written involving story that will keep you from putting the book down. Starting out seemingly obviously, just when you think that you have figured it all out, a "typical" storyline with an obvious ending and stereotype bad guy, you will most definitely be pleasantly surprised.
When the story starts in "Scream For Me" by Karen Rose, you immediately feel a defensive connection to the main character, Alex as nosy gossipy old women whisper about her, where she can hear them, about the horrible murder of her twin, the suicide of her mother and her own attempt at suicide after discovering her mothers body.
Throughout the whole story you feel sorry for her, but there is also that little niggling doubt in the back of your mind about just how innocent and sane she might actually be. Jump to now, 13 years later, and quickly into the story we will have a name as he cheerfully dumps a body where he knows it will soon be discovered. This body and how it is found will hold a strong resemblance to her twin's murder from years before So, we are off to a fast start with a known mass murderer. Throw into the mix a sudden unexpected call from the social services department in another town letting Alex know that her stepsister, whom she hasn't heard from in 5 years, was missing and could she come and pick up the daughter. The daughter is a little girl that Alex didn't even know existed. The male main character is, of course, a lawman. Special Agent Daniel Vartanian, who has enough ghosts and mass murderers in his own families past to confuse you, tries to be the best good cop he can and has a vulnerability that makes you want to be there to comfort him.
This all seems like a standard, easily figured out storyline, but hold on for a ride because it's not what you are expecting. I found the writing to be very interesting and gripping, making me want to know more. I will definitely be looking for this authors name next time I want a good book to read.
Summary of Scream for Me
For her exciting debut in hardcover, New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose delivers a heart-stopping suspense novel that picks up where DIE FOR ME left off, with a detective determined to track down a brutal murderer.Special Agent Daniel Vartanian has sworn to find the perpetrator of multiple killings that mimic a 13-year-old murder linked to a collection of photographs that belonged to his brother, Simon, the ruthless serial killer who met his demise in DIE FOR ME. Daniel is certain that someone even more depraved than his brother committed these crimes, and he's determined to bring the current murderer to justice and solve the mysterious crime from years ago.
With only a handful of images as a lead, Daniel's search will lead him back through the dark past of his own family, and into the realm of a mind more sinister than he could ever imagine. But his quest will also draw him to Alex Fallon, a beautiful nurse whose troubled past reflects his own. As Daniel becomes attached to Alex, he discovers that she is also the object of the obsessed murderer. Soon, he will not only be racing to discover the identity of this macabre criminal, but also to save the life of the woman he has begun to love.
