Have you ever been in one of those dreams where you are running and running knowing something or someone is behind you, you can’t see what it is you can only hear a whisper haunting and lyrical as their breath gains in its nearness of you? Well, with any luck that is the point when you wake up. That is of course, unless you are reading Tears of Abandon, I suggest you just keep running which is really just a euphemism for turn the page more quickly, and get out of that scene.This is a suspense story of the old school no obvious plot bunnies devised to move the terror forward. This is not a horror book as much as it is a killer suspense. What is the difference between a horror, and a suspense story? Well, a horror book is made up of Vampires, werewolves or another form of monster. Suspense is just pure realism terror that grabs you by the roots of your hair and throws you around a little before it terrorizes you into submission. You win Oliver Phipps I am cancelling my Alaskan Wilderness Adventure so thanks for that one, appreciate it.The Characters work as an ensemble cast with the sum of their individual parts more than equaling their whole. My favorite character would have to be Jack perhaps it is my penchant for bad boys. But there was something written in him. Although sometimes you wanted not to like him the irascible scoundrel brought you back to his side of the fence. The rest of the group is equally developed. I am happy to report dialog is crisp and work’s to help move the story forward,I did find a few issues for me as a reader won’t be mentioning them out loud as it did not distract from the read. However I am a girl with a few book buggy boos so for that reason I’m giving this four stars and a thanks for a great story.
