"Keep Her Safe" was a quick, easy read that was action-packed, fast-paced and full of tension. I liked how the story was told from both Holly's and Maggie's perspectives as it showed the lengths the two women would go to protect their babies.

The first-half of the book was compelling as Maggie and Holly struggled for dominance. I found it difficult to decide whose side I was on. They were both intelligent, determined women and the mistrust between them was palpable. The second-half was more about the two mothers joining forces to beat the Babysitter and save Holly's baby, Abigail. There lives were in constant danger and I was on the edge of me seat the whole way through.

Although I found parts a bit repetitive and the last few chapters over the top, overall, "Keep Her Safe" was a gripping, entertaining read.… (mehr)

I am amazed how some authors have such twisted imagination to pen gory, creepy thrillers that slowly draw its readers deep into a fictional world and leave them speechless because passing time with them is such a thrill…yes this one is that good

“When did you last Google yourself”. Aren’t you a bit curious?

This is the story of a wealthy businessman, Will Frost, who after being woken up in the middle of the night by a mysterious caller goes online to find a site in his name showing photos inside his home along with six other houses he has never seen before. A murder was committed in the first house and then he is told his daughter has been kidnapped and to save her he needed to visit each of the houses before the police shows up. Given tidbits of information Will is then on a wild chase around the world and founds himself running the deserted streets and smack into violence and murder…..is it scary…maybe…maybe not…

What a read. This psychological thriller has kept my full attention throughout. This story is so full of tension and intrigue I simple had to push on to see what would happen next. There is so much action and so many unexpected twists and turns to keep us on our toes, I had little chance to get off. It is such a very hard story to put down. Vividly said, the images described are imprinted in my mind. I definitely wouldn’t want to be in Will shoes.

Mr. Parker’s background as a TV script writer shines in this story and shows how skilled he is in portraying action and his characters’ emotion with the right words. Ok, I admit this story is far-fetched borders implausible but it makes for a very entertaining read. I love how the suspense exceeds the last words….Maybe a sequel….hope so..

I received “Scare Me” as a complimentary book from Lume Books with no obligations to write a review.… (mehr)
