It’s Halloween week! Bring on the thrills, the chills…and all of that delicious Halloween candy. I love the days leading up to Halloween. There seems to be magic that hangs in the air. I catch myself looking over my shoulder. Checking the dark shadows extra hard. Because, you know, anything can happen at Halloween…
Last month, I chatted here about spooky reads. I mentioned fabulous books filled with shifters and vamps…and all those things that go bump in the night. Well, it’s not just the paranormal creatures that can be scary. For this post, I thought I’d talk about a different kind of monster. The human variety. You know…the kind you find in romantic suspenses—the twisted villains. The bad guys who send our main characters on dangerous hunts. The evil ones who make our hearts race.
Toni Anderson is great at crafting killers. Her romantic suspense, A COLD DARK PLACE, takes readers straight into the path of a serial killer. Danger from the past just won’t stay buried, and the tough female FBI heroine in A COLD DARK PLACE has to put her life on the line as she fights for justice.
New York Times best-selling author Karen Rose always delivers when it comes to creating wicked villains. Her romantic suspense DEAD MAN’S LIST is sure to keep your heart pounding as the hero and heroine try to stop a killer who is determined to eliminate a whole lot of loose ends…
And, finally, because it is Halloween week…I have to recommend JD Robb’s HAUNTED IN DEATH. (Come on, it’s JD Robb/Nora Roberts!) If you’ve ever read the JD Robb books, then you—no doubt—understand my obsession. If you haven’t read them, then HAUNTED IN DEATH is a short and suspense-filled story that will introduce you to the always entertaining Lieutenant Eve Dallas…as she goes on a ghost hunt.
I hope that you have a fantastic Halloween. Stay spooky, my friends!
Believe in monsters. They believe in you.
