Favorite Lines: “A flip of his thumb, and her jeans were unsnapped, gone, panties, too. He put a hand between her legs, groaned when he felt her creamy and wet.” (ARC, 130)
From B&N:
“Revenge. Edie Swann has hungered for it since she fled her hometown as a little girl. Now she’s returned, ready for payback. Armed with a list of names, she leaves each one a chilling sign that they have blood on their hands. Her father’s blood. What happens next turns her own blood cold: one by one, the men she’s targeted start dying.
Sheriff Holt Drennen knows Edie is hiding something. She has a haunted look in her eyes and a defiant spirit, yet he can’t believe she’s a murderer. As the body count rises and all evidence points to Edie, Holt is torn between the town he’s sworn to protect and the woman he’s come to desire. But nothing is what it seems. Long buried secrets begin to surface, and a killer won’t be satisfied until the sins of the past are paid in full–this time with Edie’s blood.”

So, Scooper, you thought the villain was a little out of left field? He he he. I wondered about that myself. I’ll be interested to see what your friends have to say. Maybe we can all brainstorm for a future rewrite and see if we can come up with a different culprit…

I know. *laughing* I picked crazy faces for avatars. If you have an avatar it’ll show up. If not one of my crazy faces will.
