Dr. Evelyn Talbot is back in FACE
OFF, the next chapter of the suspenseful Dr. Evelyn Talbot Chronicles, where she must
battle a demon from her past. This edge of your seat story will have you
wondering who's behind all the stress and fear is must cope with. With
the help of her boyfriend state trooper, they will have to figure out the
real identities of her stalkers. A threat turns in to something not quite
as it seems, but when her family comes calling, she has to decide if she
will go home and help them. Will her relationship survive? Will anyone
else close to her lose their life? There are always twists and turns when
Evelyn Talbot is involved...
Dr. Evelyn Talbot has been dealing with fear, threats, and her past for
over 20 years, after a traumatic event that sets her on a path that
would change her life and take her to a remote area of Alaska for her
dream job as the head psychiatrist at a prison for psychopaths. This is
where she met the love of her life, Lieutenant Brian Murphy, also known
as Amarok. Her job as the head of Hanover House keeps her very busy
trying to figure out psychopaths to help further victims. The small town
of only 500 people is not enthused about the prison being in the area,
but it will bring new jobs to the area.
When an early snowstorm arrives in Hilltop everything comes to a
standstill. A missing woman is reported to Amarok, and he is able to
make a quick investigation at the scene before the storm gets too bad.
Evelyn can't help but feel things seems eerily familiar to her brutal
attack over 20 years ago. Then, a piece of scalp and hair are
discovered under the truck of a CO who works at the prison with
Evelyn. She's always had a strange feeling about her co-worker but
never suspected him of murder. She's also been stressed about work
and mysterious and threatening notes that have been left on her car,
but she's kept these things from Amarok.
On top of all of this, Evelyn's sister Brianne comes for a visit, but she
brings difficult news—that she needs help with their aging parents.
Brianne knows that Evelyn's assignment to Alaska is only supposed to
last five years, and when she brings this up as well as an idea to return
home for a year to Amarok, he's upset. But when evidence of Evelyn's
attacker is discovered, and possibly related to this latest crime, Evelyn
has to put her personal feelings aside to try to crack this case before
anyone else--or she--is hurt.
I figured that when Evelyn confronts her past and the serial killer
involved that would be the end of the Dr. Evelyn Talbot books and
series, but it seems like its just the beginning. Brenda Novak has a flair
for writing a suspenseful and thrilling book. I was filled with tension
waiting for the conclusion of FACE
OFF. I was so engrossed in the book that with only three chapters
left I stayed up past my bedtime to finish the book to find out what
happens. I'm looking forward to reading more in the a

Amarok can survive this time and what will happen with their family and
friends.
From New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak
comes Face Off, the next installment of Dr. Evelyn
Talbot and her murderous home for psychopaths.
SHE VOWED NEVER TO BE A VICTIM AGAIN. BUT NOW A KILLER
HAS HER IN HIS SIGHT. . .
Tortured and left for dead at sixteen, Evelyn Talbot turned
her personal nightmare into her life’s work—studying the
disturbing psychopathy of some of the world’s most vicious
serial killers. Now a leading psychiatrist at Hanover House
in a small Alaskan town, she tries to believe the past will
never come back to haunt her—until a woman goes missing from
a cabin nearby, and every clue points to the man who once
brutalized her…
As her boyfriend, who is the area’s only police, begins to
investigate—and finds not one but two bodies—Evelyn can’t
forget that her would-be killer, Jasper Moore, was never
caught. But there are no new faces in tiny Hilltop, no one
who seems suspicious or potentially violent. In this twisted
game of cat and mouse, Evelyn is certain of only one
thing—Jasper must be hiding in plain sight. And if she can’t
find him before he comes for her, she won’t be lucky enough
to survive twice…
