She comes from a family of assassins, and by saving Lyndon Vaile's life she risks being found by them.

Book Review on Rachelle Dekker's book Nine

ABOUT THE BOOK Zoe Johnson spent most of her life living in the shadows, never drawing attention to herself, never investing in people or places. But when a wide-eyed, bedraggled teenager with no memory walks into the diner where Zoe works, everything changes. Now, against her better judgment, Zoe who has been trying to outrun her own painful memories of the past, finds herself attempting to help a girl who doesn't seem to have any past at all. The girl knows only one thing: She must reach a woman in Corpus Christi, Texas, hundreds of miles away, before the government agents who are searching for her catch up to them.  MY BOOK REVIEW "Nine" by Rachelle Dekker is a sequel to "The Girl Behind the Red Rope". It can be read alone.  I am finding it hard to write my review because I don't want to give any spoilers out. "Nine" is full of twists and turns. The action started in the very first chapter. A mystery girl, Lucy, is running away from a group of m

Book Tour & Giveaway for Edgar Swamp' new book Amber Hollow

Image
Horror (with elements of suspense, mystery, and fantasy) On July 15, 1991, an isolated village in Northern Wisconsin is ground zero for an unprecedented, fiery tragedy. Of the community's 600 residents, there are only five survivors. Detailed accounts by the victims contradict each other; the only link is a man named Anthony Guntram, but because he is presumed to be dead, this claim can't be verified. Further investigations reveal a culture enshrouded in mystery. What are the survivors hiding? Only the villagers know the secret of Amber Hollow, a place where sanity is checked at the town line and the parameters of reality become blurred. An unconventional horror story by design, Edgar Swamp delivers an action-driven page-turner that will keep readers guessing until the calamitous ending.
