Brenda Novak writes beautiful stories firmly entrenched in family
values. FACE OFF, the latest
installment in the Dr. Evelyn
Talbot series, is anything but a beautiful romance story. But
even with horrific crime stories this prolific author can't help but
include her love of family. With FACE
OFF, we continue the saga of pitting Evelyn Talbot, a psychopathic
investigator, against her age-old tormentor, Jasper Moore. Yes, Jasper
is alive and well and unfortunately for Evelyn, he is now in Alaska. Scary
doesn't even begin to describe any scene that Jasper is in, but in order
for you to experience that yourself you must read FACE OFF.
Jasper is a serial killer who has had his eye on Evelyn since she was a
teenager. He has done everything in his power to destroy her life. No
one is out of bounds for this deranged demon. His parents have
provided him with just the tools for his latest attempt at torture and
death for Evelyn. They are now dead, killed by the very monster that
they have assisted all these years. Love is a strange thing -- perhaps
Jasper's parents thought by giving him a new identity it would be an
entry into a new calm and less dangerous life. In short, they were
wrong, and have helped him be able to hide in plain sight.
Evelyn is still at Hanover House in Alaska trying to get into the minds of
the worst criminals. They get sent to Hanover House for this very
purpose. The population at Hanover House is comprised of the people
that present an ever-present danger to the world targeting mostly
women and girls and this is the place of work for Evelyn and a group of
CO's. The security is the highest available which should make it a
somewhat safe place to work. But we all know better than to become
complacent.
This is what Evelyn is going to learn in rather short order. It seems as if
there is an increase of murders committed in areas surrounding
Hanover House. None of the inmates have been released -- well not in
quite a while at least. So when the police department headed by
Evelyn's boyfriend, Amarok, starts to investigate a missing woman from
a hunting cabin they hope it isn't a murder on their hands. There is
always room for hope.
Evelyn needs help dealing with everything, so Amarok asks her sister to
come pay a visit to hopefully give her a sense of normalcy and family...
But even with her sister in town, Jasper's threats keep coming... Once
you start reading FACE OFF you
realize you are in for the duration. It is another page-turning novel
written by Brenda Novak and her fans are just going to love it. So scary
and unpredictable even if you are fully aware of who the bad guy is and
Brenda Novak tells us in the prologue exactly what Jasper is planning.
Brenda Novak wrapped up every horrific trait she could fathom in this
serial monster.
From New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak
comes Face Off, the next installment of Dr. Evelyn
Talbot and her murderous home for psychopaths.
SHE VOWED NEVER TO BE A VICTIM AGAIN. BUT NOW A KILLER
HAS HER IN HIS SIGHT. . .
Tortured and left for dead at sixteen, Evelyn Talbot turned
her personal nightmare into her life’s work—studying the
disturbing psychopathy of some of the world’s most vicious
serial killers. Now a leading psychiatrist at Hanover House
in a small Alaskan town, she tries to believe the past will
never come back to haunt her—until a woman goes missing from
a cabin nearby, and every clue points to the man who once
brutalized her…
As her boyfriend, who is the area’s only police, begins to
investigate—and finds not one but two bodies—Evelyn can’t
forget that her would-be killer, Jasper Moore, was never
caught. But there are no new faces in tiny Hilltop, no one
who seems suspicious or potentially violent. In this twisted
game of cat and mouse, Evelyn is certain of only one
thing—Jasper must be hiding in plain sight. And if she can’t
find him before he comes for her, she won’t be lucky enough
to survive twice…
