This book is not supposed to be out until sometime in December but I had the privilege of reading an Advance Reader Copy. Suspense, thriller, and mystery books are my favorite genre to read. Some books do not capture you until you are well into one third of the book. Not so with a Brandilyn Collins book. This book was no exception. It captured me from the very first couple of chapters.
What I like about the characters that Brandilyn creates are that they are flawed characters that the average person can identify with. Kaitlan Sering is a 22 year old hairdresser who had just found out that she is pregnant. She has been dating her boyfriend, Craig for only three months. The problems arises when Kaitlan leaves work early only to find a dead body in her bed. Everything points to her boyfriend being the one who killed the woman. Kaitlan has no where to turn. She does not know who to trust. She can't go to the police. Her boyfriend's father is the chief of police. She turns to her grandfather for help. Her grandfather, Darrel Brooke, a well known mystery novel writer is known as the king of suspense. Due to an accident two years earlier Darrel had not been able to write the 100th novel. Also, Darrel does not trust his granddaughter. The last time he had seen her she was heavily into drugs. Slowly Darrel realizes that Kaitlan is trustworthy and is indeed in danger. He must come up with a plan to save her life.
I stayed up until way after midnight to finish this story. As in any good mystery novel there are twist in the storyline and this one has it. I am not going to say anymore since I do not want to ruin it for anybody wanting to read it.
