About this ebook

Lightning flashes overhead as she walks along the isolated path out of town. She listens to the rumble of thunder until she hears the unmistakable sound of heavy boots on the path behind her. She starts to run, but he’s faster and she already knows there is no one for miles to hear her screams…


It’s Halloween in Black Rock Falls and among the small town’s annual festivities, Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane are called to a gruesome discovery. Where there was once a plastic mannequin in a coffin, now stands the lifeless body of a young woman, her pale skin illuminated under the heavy stormy sky.  


Taking in the victim’s long dark hair and still blue eyes, it’s the bite marks on her neck that have Jenna’s fearing what kind of monster could have inflicted such wounds. Could this be the most sick and twisted murderer Black Rock Falls has ever seen?


Days later, Jenna’s heart breaks when another vulnerable young woman is found at another Halloween attraction in the centre of Black Rock Falls. As Jenna surveys the scene, she instantly notices the familiar deep red bite marks on her neck.  


With the whole town gripped with fear that a vampire-like killer is on the loose, Jenna works around the clock to hunt down the fiend who is stalking vulnerable young women. When she links the bodies to a cold case, it’s clear he has taken many victims.


As Jenna finally gets a breakthrough, a violent storm shuts off the small town, giving the murder the perfect chance to kill again, but Jenna puts herself in unthinkable danger to catch him. Will she stop him before he can take another life or has Jenna finally met her match?

 

Fans of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot will absolutely devour this gripping and unputdownable crime thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author D.K. Hood.

Death stalks Halloween, vampires beware!🏚Halloween with its chill, leaf-stirring winds, over the top scary decorations & dark, stormy days is a perfect setting for this macabre story of a serial killer praying on young women. Although my ultra-suspicious mind guessed the killer pretty early on, I still heartily enjoyed the suspense & one of my favorite American investigative teams, Sheriff Alton, Deputy Kane and co. So many likely suspects in this frontier mountain town!

(3.75) Perfect timing for Their Haunted Hearts. It Halloween in Black Falls and Halloween around the corner in the USA. The prologues are always creepy, scary but never gives anything away so you hunker down to follow the plot. I knew who the perp was the first time they appeared on the page and this raised a question or two that is answered somewhat in the wrap up. When there is a stampede that is when this book took off for me and kept me intrigued. T
