The Eyes of Darkness
Pub: Dark Harvest |
| "A year has passed since little Danny's death-a year since his mother began the painful process of acceptance. But tonight, Tina Evans swore she saw her Danny in a stranger's car. Then she dreamed that Danny was alive. And when she awoke, she found a message waiting for her in Danny's bedroom - two disturbing words scrawled on his chalkboard: NOT DEAD. Was it someone's grim joke? Her mind playing tricks on her? Or something...more? For Tina Evans, it was a mystery she couldn't escape. An obsession that would lead her from the bright lights of Las Vegas to the cold shadows of the High Sierras. A terrible secret seen only by...the Eyes of Darkness." | |

He knew he had seen Joanna before-in news photographs of a senator's daughter who'd disappeared ten years ago. Slowly, tenderly, he helped awaken her to a terrifying fact: that she was not who she thought she was...that her mind, her memories, had been created for her...And there was only one way to unlock the dark secret of her soul..." | |

Shadowfires

| My synopsis: the divorce battle that Rachel is fighting with her bitter husband Eric, as she struggles to get rid of him and the fortune he's built with his research activities, suddenly gets to a halt when Eric gets killed in a horrible car accident. The terrible event delivers her from her husband's obsessions, but also shocks her deeply. Yet the shocks are far from being over, since Rachel finds that her husband's body has disappeared from the morgue, and that she's being stalked by someone that looks just like Eric. | |
