The latest collaboration of bestselling authors and sisters,
Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush, once again features the women
of Siren's Song, or otherwise called The Colony. Matronly
Catherine Rutledge is the woman who runs the lodge under an
iron thumb. All of her nieces that live under the roof of
Siren's Song wear only old fashioned, handmade dresses that
they sew themselves, aren't allowed to go into town or
associate with men. Catherine is the keeper of many secrets
as well as the protector of her nieces. The problems begin
when those secrets start to emerge.
Detective Savannah "Savvy" Dunbar has a lot on her plate.
Not only is she investigating a double murder but she's the
surrogate carrying a baby for her sister, Kristina and her
husband, Hale St. Cloud that she's about three weeks away
from delivering. Her co-workers are treating her like a
leper since she got pregnant and she's trying to tie up some
loose ends before going on maternity leave. Catherine
Rutledge is the last person she expects to see walk in the
police station and the reason she's there isn't one that
Savvy saw coming.
Savvy presses on with her investigation even though she
needs to be somewhere safe with her feet propped up. But
she's getting answers and that's what is important to her
even when it puts her in personal danger. She's got a baby
to think about now, though, even though it's not technically
her baby. So safety has to become a stronger factor.
The problem is that it just might be too late for Savvy.
SOMETHING WICKED captured me from the first page and held me
in place until the final sentence. There are several plots
going on at the same time but, eventually, they all link up
to the same characters. Those various subplots played a huge
part in keeping the interest flowing. I found that I hated
leaving one subplot to move onto the next, but they were all
riveting. It was definitely a page turner. The romance was a
little weak but, since I love the mystery and murder parts
of a book, I was perfectly fine with that.
I've been a longtime fan of Nancy Bush as well as her
equally excellent sister, Lisa Jackson. SOMETHING WICKED
provides exactly the excitement old fans have come to expect
and new ones will come to love. This is the third book
written around The Colony and you will be allowed
inside
those ultra-private walls to discover more about the women
living inside. You will quickly become addicted to the
events in this book and will crave more after the final
page.
The good news is that there will be another Colony
book
coming out in 2014. Until then, you can hold onto SOMETHING
WICKED to tide you over.
You Sense Him
Some refer to it as the Colony. To others, it's a cult.
But
few locals in the Oregon coastal hamlet of Deception Bay
have ever been invited to the inner sanctum of Siren Song.
Even the sisters who live here, far from strangers who
might recoil at their unnerving psychic abilities, don't
know all the terrors buried within its walls...
You Fear Him
Eight months into a surrogate pregnancy for her sister,
Kristina, Detective Savannah Dunbar just wants to wrap up
paperwork before taking medical leave. But her
department's
investigation into a brutal double homicide has suddenly
become much more complex—and personal. And now there
are disturbing rumors about the Colony, its matriarch, and
a long history of bitter secrets...
But You Can Never Stop Him
Death has come to Siren Song before. But this time there
will be no refuge and no remorse. For everything born in
wickedness must die that way—and a killer will not
rest until he has claimed them all...
