Lyssa Cafferty has been in the Witness Protection Program
for 2 years, since her fiancé was murdered. She is the only
one to survive the serial killer named Archimedes, but she
has been looking over her shoulder ever since. When one day,
she comes back to her apartment and finds her handler dead,
she knows her tormentor has found her. And she grabs the
essentials and flees. She then calls the only man who could
help her: Noah Bradford; he knew Lyssa's fiancé, Jack, and
he has the tools to protect Lyssa. Noah has always been
secretly in love with Lyssa, but bowed out when Jack started
going out with Lyssa.
Lyssa has a huge secret she will not even tell Noah. Since
she has been hiding, she has learned that no one is to be
trusted, not even him. She does not want people hurt because
Andromedes wants to kill her, but Noah tells her that the
psychopath does not want to kill her: Andromedes wants
Lyssa. Yet the murderer is on a rampage and hitting closer
and closer to home.
SECRET OBSESSION is an absolutely fantastic book! Ms. Perini
has crafted a story that hits the perfect balance between
suspense and romance, relying heavily on the suspense with
romantic elements that happen at the right time and for the
right reasons.
Lyssa is a wonderful heroine: she has been
haunted and hunted by a killer for 2 years. She is scared,
but she is relentless: she will do anything to avenge her
fiancé and protect her secret, even at the cost of her own
life. She is not a superwoman, but someone who refuses to be
a victim and will do whatever is necessary to stop the
madness. Noah is perfectly suited to his investigative work;
he's a geek and the author presents a realistic view of
electric surveillance and all things hi-tech. All the
characters are multidimensional and believable, even the
dastardly villain; the story is tight, well written, and
fast-paced.
With SECRET OBSESSION, Robin Perini proves she
can stand proudly alongside giants of the genre, such as
Robert Ludlum and Ken Follett.
