Fade to Black is a 'couldn't put the book down' read. This story grabbed me from the start. I loved the story line. It had mystery, romance, and humor. I found myself staying up late just to see what would happen next. This book is more than just a romance, it is also a thriller. I loved the thrilling aspect of this book. The story is fast paced and moves continually. I also loved the characters. They all bring something different to the table. Kate Callahan is the main character. She is a woman who knows what she wants most of the time. She is very likable and also relate-able. Kate has a dreamy boyfriend, Jesse, whom she loves but she is surprisingly drawn to her new co-worker, Rich Spensor. I had a hard time choosing who I thought Kate should be with. I loved Jesse and Rich. They both had flaws but who doesn't? Morgan Kearns wrote their characters in such a way any girl would have trouble choosing. I would definitely recommend this book to you. If you want to read a thrilling romance this book is it! ( )
