Some days, I love to curl up with a good suspense read. I love the twists and turns; plus the gripping story-telling and writing skills, just like those by Jayne Ann Krentz. Add in a bit of simmering romance along side and I am locked in for hours. That is exactly what this book is bringing, along with some surprises along the way. I am excited to share this review with you for:

Synopsis:

Madeline and Daphne were once as close as sisters—until a secret tore them apart. Now it might take them to their graves.

They knew his name, the man who tried to brutally attack twelve-year-old Madeline in her grandmother’s hotel. They thought they knew his fate. He wouldn’t be bothering them anymore…ever. Still their lives would never be the same.

Madeline has returned to Washington after her grandmother’s mysterious death. And at the old, abandoned hotel—a place she never wanted to see again—a dying man’s last words convey a warning: the secrets she and Daphne believed buried forever have been discovered.

Now, after almost two decades, Madeline and Daphne will be reunited in friendship and in fear. Unable to trust the local police, Madeline summons Jack Rayner, the hotel chain’s new security expert. Despite the secrets and mysteries that surround him, Jack is the only one she trusts…and wants.

Jack is no good at relationships but he does possess a specific skill set that includes a profoundly intimate understanding of warped and dangerous minds. With the assistance of Jack’s brother, Abe, a high-tech magician, the four of them will form an uneasy alliance against a killer who will stop at nothing to hide the truth….

My Thoughts:

Yes, I love a great romance book but I love a great suspense thriller just as much and this book had all of the qualities I enjoy in a great read.

I have had the pleasure of reading several of Jayne Ann Krentz books in the past and when this new release showed up, I knew it was one I would have to set aside several hours at a time to lock into the story. This author is wonderful at telling a spellbinding tale, with plenty of twists to keep you wondering up until the last minute “who really dun it”.

Armed with strong characters that have a unique story to tell, this is a tale of the past that is dragged into today. Murder, secrets, family, tight friendships, deep anger, fear, and plenty of action to keep you turning those pages as fast as you can.

A novel for anyone that loves a thrilling read, Jayne Ann Krentz always delivers the goods with refreshing and unique stories that are entertaining and will leave you thinking about the story long after you close the cover.

With over 50 best selling titles and over 35 million books in print, it is safe to say this author knows how to write romantic suspense. You can find her writing in three different worlds: Contemporary (as Jayne Ann Krentz), historical (as Amanda Quick) and futuristic (as Jayne Castle). One author you must read!
