Don't Look Back


EASON, LYNETTE
DON'T LOOK BACK

One man lives to see her dead -- the other is fighting to keep her alive.

Twelve years ago, forensic anthropologist Jamie Cash survived a brutal kidnapping. After years of therapy, she has made a life for herself -- though one that is haunted by memories of her terrifying past. She finally lets herself believe that she can have a close relationship with a man, when signs start appearing that point to one frightening fact -- her attacker is back and ready to finish the job he started all those years ago.

Can she escape his grasp a second time? And will she ever be able to let down her guard enough to find true love?

Filled with heart-stopping suspense, gritty realism, and a touch of romance, Don't Look Back pulls you into its twists and turns to hold you there until the very last page.

THERE IS NO TURNING BACK ONCE YOU START READING THIS NOVEL! IT IS DEFINITELY RIVETING. EASON HAS REALLY SURPASSED HER GIFT FOR WRITING SUSPENSE IN DON'T LOOK BACK. I HONESTLY COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN, THOUGH THERE WERE TIMES I WANTED TO BECAUSE I WAS GETTING CREEPED OUT.

'GRITTY REALISM' IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT AND IT'S NOT SO MUCH WHAT EASON SAYS BUT HOW SHE SAYS IT, LEAVING LOTS OF SCOPE FOR OVERACTIVE IMAGINATIONS LIKE MINE. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MY HEART POUNDED FASTER AS I REACHED THE CLIMAX OF THIS BOOK AND I CHECKED ALL MY WINDOWS UPTEEN TIMES WHILE I WAS READING IT!

THE 'TOUCH' OF ROMANCE WAS A DEFINITE THREAD FOR ME. IT WAS FULL OF RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING; UNHURRIED, GENTLE -- MORE A UNION OF THE MINDS AT THE BEGINNING AND THEN DEVELOPING INTO SOMETHING MUCH DEEPER. THE PERFECT PACE GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES JAMIE AND DAKOTA FIND THEMSELVES IN.

THERE IS A SPIRITUAL THREAD WOVEN SECURELY AMONGST THE ANGST. IT FLOWS SEAMLESSLY THROUGH THE PLOT; UPLIFTS AND COMFORTS THE CHARACTERS IN THE MIDST OF THE DARKER REALITIES THEY ARE FACING. AND IT EVEN DEALS WITH THAT DIFFICULT QUESTION CHRISTIANS ARE ALWAYS ASKED: WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?

EASON'S WRITING IS SOLID -- FLAWLESS REALLY, WHICH MAKES THE READ ALL THE MORE ENJOYABLE...AND TERRIFYING. DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART BUT IF YOU LIKE A LITTLE EDGE IN YOUR SUSPENSE YOU WILL LOVE DON'T LOOK BACK!

  2. Do you have a public library close by? They might have it...or order it in for you. Hey, wait a minute -- your college library should be able to do an interlibrary loan for you!
