Skye Kellerman was a victim of an attempted rape four years
ago that changed her life. Now she has formed an
organization to help victims of crimes called The Last
Stand. Skye's assailant, Dr. Oliver Burke has served three
years in prison and is about to be released early. Skye is
in fear for her life and thinks Oliver will be hunting her
down to exact his revenge on her.
With Skye always in the news because of her organization,
will Oliver be tempted to find her and finish what he
started four years ago?
Detective David Willis's marriage to his ex wife is over
but the guilt of leaving her alone while she is battling a
disease makes him think twice about leaving her. Now that
Oliver Burke is being released from jail, David is back in
touch with Skye and worrying about her safety. Sparks are
starting to fly between them once again and his ex wife is
starting to notice. How will David move on with his life
and find happiness if his ex wife makes him feel so guilty?
The police suspect Oliver of numerous unsolved murders but
without the weapon or any proof, they are stuck in a dead
end case. Oliver's wife Jane has no idea what kind of man
she is married to. She trusts Oliver and refuses to believe
Skye when she warns her about how dangerous her husband
really is.
Will Oliver's release from jail end with Skye being
murdered? How many people will lose their lives because of
coming into contact with Oliver? Will Detective David
Willis be able to solve the case before Oliver can complete
his plan of revenge on everyone who has ever hurt him?
Oliver is a terrifyingly real bad guy and no one can stop
him. Skye will fight with everything she has to protect
herself from becoming his victim again but can she succeed
against him?
TRUST ME is the first book in Brenda Novak's new Last Stand
Trilogy with books being released back to back in June,
July and August. The suspense builds up throughout the
story as the reader forms a picture of Oliver Burke in
their mind. As the story develops, Oliver becomes more and
more scary and there's no telling what he may do next.
The idea of living with a man and not truly knowing his
real identity is scary in itself. But the characterization
and quick moving story really added to the suspense and
gave me goose bumps. TRUST ME is a great first installment
in this trilogy and I look forward to reading STOP ME and
WATCH ME also.
Four years ago...
Skye Kellerman was attacked in her own bed. She managed to
fend off her knife-wielding assailant, but the trauma
changed everything about her life. As a result of that
night, she joineed two friends--also survivors--in starting
The Last Stand, an organization to help victims of crime.
But now...
Her would-be rapist is getting out of prison. Skye knows
that Dr. Oliver Burke hasn't forgotten that her testimony
cost him his reputation--and his freedom.
Sacramento detective David Willis, who investigated her
case, believes Burke is a clear and present danger--and
guilty of at least two unsolved murders.
And now Burke is free to terrorize Skye again. Unless David
can stop him. Unless Skye can fight back. Because Oliver
Burke has every intention of finishing what he started. And
that's a promise. Trust me.
