Dishonorable Intentions, by Stuart Woods. Stone Barrington’s latest lady friend is full of surprises, both good
and ill. A sensual woman with unexpected desires, Stone finds her
revelations in the boudoir extremely agreeable. But on the other hand,
she also has some unfinished business with a temperamental man who
believes Stone is an intolerable obstacle in the way of his goals. In
a cat-and-mouse game that trails from sun-drenched Bel-Air to a
peaceful European estate and gorgeous Santa Fe, Stone and his friend
remain just one step ahead of their opponent. But their pursuer is not a
man who can stand to be thwarted, and tensions are mounting . . . and
may soon reach the boiling point.
Ink and Bone, by Lisa Unger. Twenty-year-old Finley Montgomery is rarely alone. Visited by people
whom others can't see and haunted by prophetic dreams, she has never
been able to control or understand the things that happen to her. When
Finley's abilities start to become too strong for her to handle, she turns to the only person she knows who can help
her: her grandmother Eloise Montgomery, a renowned psychic living in The
Hollows, New York.
Merri Gleason is a woman at the end of her
tether after a ten-month-long search for her missing daughter, Abbey.
With almost every hope exhausted, she resorts to hiring Jones Cooper, a
detective who sometimes works with psychic Eloise Montgomery. Merri's
not a believer, but she's just desperate enough to go down that road,
praying that she's not too late. Time, she knows, is running out.
As
a harsh white winter moves into The Hollows, Finley and Eloise are
drawn into the investigation, which proves to have much more at stake
than even the fate of a missing girl.
End of Watch, by Stephen King. Less scary than his usual fare, this third in King's Bill Hodges trilogy (after Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers, both of which I really enjoyed) finds the diabolical “Mercedes Killer” driving his enemies to suicide,
and if Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney don’t figure out a way to stop him,
they’ll be victims themselves. In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something unspeakable
has awakened. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the
Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were
badly injured, has been in the clinic for five years in a vegetative
state. According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete
recovery is unlikely. But behind the drool and stare, Brady is awake,
and in possession of deadly new powers that allow him to wreak
unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room. Definitely more thriller than horror, this will still keep you on the edge of your seat--I've got my copy reserved. Do you?
