Never has a book kept me looking behind myself in the dark as A DARK LURE by Loreth Anne White has! A thriller that will have you frozen in your seat and hearing sounds that are not there, A DARK LURE is sure to please those who have a love for suspenseful, unnerving, and romantic mysteries. Yes, it has all the features that I love to find in that perfect novel and I did not put it down until I was done. The storyline would go from present to past describing the characters' background that lead up to the current events but never losing you in the process. What a great suspense writer Loreto Anne White is!
Sara Baker is a true survivor. With her greatest struggles never forgotten, someone decides to remind her of her past. More than a decade ago, the Watt Lake Killer abducted her and she knows what he has done and she lived to tell about it. Now with her name changed to Olivia, she has left the past behind and works on Broken Bar Ranch, but still dealing with her PTSD. A new body is found with the MO of the Watt Lake Killer but it can't be. But he is supposed to be dead. Did they even get the right guy? How could they not? She was there.
To make matters worse, her boss is dying and his son, Cole, comes to help on the ranch. Can Olivia let go of her past to let in love again? Can Cole let go of his demons as well? They may need each other more than they think. Will it be to late with a killer on the loose?
A DARK LURE was a thrill to read. I love when a story keeps me on edge and up late to finish it. Loreth Anne White has a gift at writing a novel that is as terrifying as it is, making it hard to put down. I cannot wait to read more of her novels.
Twelve years ago Olivia West escaped a brutal killer and
helped put him behind bars where he died. The ordeal cost
her marriage and child, and life as she knew it. Now, still
struggling with PTSD and horrific scars, she's living under
a new name and believes she's finally found sanctuary on
Broken Bar Ranch.
But as the twelve year anniversary of her abduction nears
and winter begins to close an icy fist around the Broken Bar
wilderness, a dying cop's pledge for justice lures a killer
out the woods. And when a fresh victim is found gutted and
hanging from a tree, bearing startling similarities to the
Watt Lake slaughters, Olivia must face the impossibleβcould
the Watt Lake Killer be back? Or is it a copycat determined
to finish the butcher's job.
Only one man can help her in the isolated wilderness
settingβCole McDonough, notorious adventurer and writer,
heir to Broken Bar Ranch, a man as untamed and rugged as the
mountains around them. A man with his own broken past.
But Cole also re-awakens something darker in Olivia, a
smoldering desire, a need to be held. And she faces a
choice: Can she expose herself, her scars, her horrific
past, to this man? Can she learn to trust again? Or will her
fear of intimacyβher shameβcost them both a second chance at
love? Or worse, their lives?
