Romance Suspense | Thriller Psychological

Rowan Smith has turned her knowledge as a former FBI agent into a lucrative career writing popular suspense thrillers. Living in Malibu, while one of her novels is being made into a movie, Rowan finds herself spiraling into a nightmare when a woman with the name and occupation of one of her characters is murdered in the exact same way Rowan had written.

A loner by choice, Rowan is sure she can defend herself if needed, but others in her life insist she have a bodyguard. Enter siblings Michael and Tess Flynn. Michael has a soft spot for women in need and is determined to keep Rowan safe. When another murder occurs, exactly as Rowan has written, Tess and Michael's brother, John, joins them.

John Flynn recognizes there's more to what's going on than a mere stalking and begins investigating Rowan's past. Together, he and Rowan analyze her painful past, from her childhood to her career with the FBI, trying to discover someone who hates her enough to play the evil game of cat and mouse they're stuck playing.

Debut author Allison Brennan has written an outstanding psychological thriller in this first book in her back-to-back suspense trilogy. The characters are well- developed, the plot outstanding and there's more than one unexpected twist to this rollercoaster ride of terror. Readers won't want to put this one down! Watch for THE HUNT in February and THE KILL coming in March.

SUMMARY

First, she imagined it. Then a killer made it real.

Rowan Smith is living in a borrowed Malibu beach house while her bestselling novel is made into a Hollywood movie. A former FBI agent with a haunted past, Rowan thinks she has outrun her demons. But fiction and reality collide when a dismembered body is found in Colorado: the real-life victim had the same name, occupation, and looks as a character in Rowan’s novel. By the time the FBI, the LAPD, and her own private bodyguard gather around her, another person is killed–again, the murder ripped from the pages of Rowan’s book.

In the company of a former Delta Force officer with secrets of his own, Rowan faces an excruciating dilemma: the only way to chase down the tormenting killer is by revisiting the darkness of her past–and by praying for some way out again.

After the prey is chosen, the hunt is on and the kill is certain.
