A new stand-alone “Seatbelt Suspense™” from bestselling author Brandilyn Collins. Kaitlan Sering’s estranged grandfather, novelist Darell Brooke, was the legendary King of Suspense—until an auto accident left him unable to concentrate. Now she’s begging him to protect her from a real serial killer. Can his muddled mind devise a plan to catch the murderer?
Dark Pursuit is a deliciously scary, completely engrossing read. The characters are multi-faceted and interesting. It’s fast paced, seriously creepy, and full of twists and turns. By the time I got to chapter 33 my heart was racing, and I was like a woman on a mission to finish the book.
I love the feeling of having a good book to read. Even when you’re busy doing other things, it’s always in the back of your mind that you have a great book waiting for you on the coffee table. Each time you pass by it calls to you. A good book begs to be read, and that’s how I felt about Dark Pursuit. By the final chapters I refused to put it down—going so far as to read it while I cooked dinner for the family; book in one hand, spatula in the other. After finishing it last night, I wandered through the house aimlessly. My life seemed so empty. What am I supposed to do now?
