Terrified

In "Terrified", author Kevin O'Brien has produced a gasp-a-minute plot which keeps the reader reeling until the final chapter. Megan Kessler is an abused woman who is thought to have committed suicide in an attempt to escape from her abusive husband. In truth, she has changed her name and relocated to the Pacific Northwest to raise a child who knows nothing about his mother's past. A series of murders and mutilations grab Megan's attention and then, the unthinkable happens; her husband is released from prison, making her life an ongoing torment of fear and guesswork. In an attempt to protect her son from his abusive father, Megan gets deeper and deeper involved in a plot in which a murderer vows to have and to keep Megan no matter the cost. This is a story the reader has heard again and again, and yet, it is fresh and mind-boggling as well as a story to keep the reader on the seat of the chair begging for a reprieve from the ongoing suspense. No one wants to believe any human could sink to the depths of the killer in this story and yet, the reader remains mesmerized, hoping that justice might come out of the terror and the turmoil that has so cruelly been thrust at Megan Keeslar and her son Josh. O'Brien is a master of suspense and this novel will not disappoint the most avid suspense reader.

I was looking over my shoulder, peeking through my blinds & reading with all the lights on at night! I was hooked from the very first page to the very last! It's a great read!

Not my favorite. Didn't keep my attention. The only reason I finished it was because I paid for it.
