Product Description

Haunted by the tragic loss of her husband and son, bestselling author Joanna Sutton now lives in near seclusion in the rugged, snow-covered mountains of Montana. But unbeknownst to Joanna, her haven is soon to become hell when Aaron Doherty, escaped from prison during a huge earthquake, arrives at her door. Having read all her novels, Doherty is dangerously obsessed with Joanna, and now he wants to claim her as his own. Local sheriff Tyler McBride's world is also shaken when his son goes missing in a massive snowstorm in the mountains. But when he discovers that his one-time lover Joanna has spearheaded a search-and-rescue mission - aided by Doherty - his world sinks even lower. Two people have already been brutally murdered, and now those he cares about most are in the company of a psychopath - and in very mortal danger...

4.0 out of 5 stars Will give you the chills!, Aug 13 2008

By	GinRobi (Timmins, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tempting Evil: A Novel of Suspense (Mass Market Paperback)

It actually didn't take that long to read this one. I had started it on Friday, but because I picked up my copy of Acheron, that one was more important. However, when I finally picked this one back up on Monday, it was damn near unputdownable!

Brennan has a way of writing in descriptions: whether scenery or character development, you get a complete picture of it all.

Joanna still hasn't gotten over the death of her husband and nine-year-old son four years earlier. While she shows a brave front for her grandfather, sister and niece, she aches daily at the loss. Now she's staying with her family at their lodge, working everyday and writing. A successful author, she loves writing the stories that touch and warm so many lives.

Tyler wants Joanna with all his being. He's fallen in love, but is heartbroken when his marriage proposal doesn't receive the answer he had wanted. Still, he pines for her, waiting for her. He's raising his son, Jason, alone after his ex-wife dies of cancer, and moved them to Centennial Valley to be closer to his brother, hoping to reclame the friendship they had in their youth.

Tyler receives an anonymous call... two escaped convicts are headed his way - one infatuated with a woman he cut out of a magazine article. The description fits Jo, and with his son stuck in the wilderness with his brother and their Boy Scout troup, tension and suspense are pushed to the forefront.

And rightly so - for one convict, Aaron Doherty, believes he's in love with Joanna and that she returns his affection. His mental process becomes the header of the novel, and his delusions grow frighteningly. The way Aaron's mind works (the way Brennan wrote it) is enough to give the reader chills and hope that it never happens to them. In some ways, Doherty is even scarier than the second convict, Chapman, a sadistic killer, who was following Doherty.

Action scenes are great - you see them play out in your mind while reading them. The scenery paint a perfect picture, leaving the reader chilled while reading about a storm howling outside the lodge/cabin. While the love scenes are nice, I felt that there could have been a bigger connection between Tyler and Jo than there was. But what pins the reader is Aaron and his delusions - I don't think I've read a character quite that delusional before.

And after reading the excerpt for Playing Dead, the final book in the trilogy, I sooooo can't wait to get my hands on it. September 30th can't come fast enough!
