I'm the kind of reader that when you start off with a powerful beginning that I am prone to stay with you on the journey because I don't want it to end. That is the way I found myself with BLOOD ON THE PEN by author David Huffstetler. I understand that I am coming to know of this author and his skills later than some, but better late than never when it comes to a great storyteller and a book that keeps you turning the pages, wondering what could possibly happen next.Whether it is the serial killer intent on exacting his own form of justice or vindication or the Texas Ranger that is balancing doing his job well while still haunted by his own tragedy in life, Huffstetler takes you into their world and allows you to see things from their perspective. This makes it difficult not to feel you are somehow connected with them as their paths march towards each other to what is an inevitable showdown.For those looking for a little romance, the story gives you that as well. For me those the role of the reporter and the relationship that forms between her and the ranger is a necessary component for him to put the pieces of his life back in order. Failing to do so could cost him more than his sanity. It could very well cost him his life.Tightly woven together from beginning to end, author David Huffstetler "kills" with BLOOD ON THE PEN.
