AT THE EDGE is the first installment of Cait London's new suspense thriller trilogy about three sisters -- Claire, Tempest and Leona -- triplets born three minutes apart, each with their own "special gift." AT THE EDGE is Claire's story -- the youngest by six minutes; the most sensitive and vulnerable; an empath who absorbs the sensations and emotions of others. At times, it has consumed her, terrorized her. She dreams of what it would be like to be normal -- a woman who can move easily amid others without protecting herself so fiercely, without others' emotions consuming her. She cocoons herself inside her home, away from crowds, working at night creating designer handbags, when the world is the quietest. Claire has managed -- until lately.
Something is stirring. Something has caused three gentle people to change violently, and Claire is in their line of fire. She's been brutally attacked in her home. Why? Is she no longer safe?
Claire's quiet, elderly neighbor has passed away leaving her home to her nephew, Neil Olafson, who's moved in, bringing with him more noise than Claire's comfort level can bear. But they are drawn to one another. Neil's son was abducted eight years earlier when he was only six months old. Neil's marriage did not survive the tragedy. He's been searching for his son ever since, not knowing if he's dead or alive, but still continuing to hope.
Neil asks for Claire's help and promises to protect her throughout the search. He's desperate. Claire heads into the most dangerous time of her life determined to find her own strength and destiny. Possessing a great sensitivity for anyone who's lost a child, Claire becomes driven. She feels the loss of Neil's child almost as if he was her own. She also feels a deep link to this man who's turning her well-crafted life upside down; a man who's more than she ever dreamed to find in a life partner.
AT THE EDGE is a chiller. Ms. London has gifted us with a unique, well-crafted thriller that keeps you "at the edge" of your seat. It's an all-nighter that's filled with heart- stopping, pulse-pounding suspense and sensuality, leaving you yearning for the next sister's story. It takes you on a roller coaster ride full of surprises from the first page to the last. You'll miss the beginning of an extraordinary new series if you don't read AT THE EDGE. It's fantastic.
