Reviews
Out of Nowhere by Sandra Brown
This was a great page turner that I could totally become immersed in. There's sex, suspense, mystery and a traumatic shooter event that sparks it all. But not really very believable if given much thought. Not something to read right before bed.
The FBI is hunting for a serial killer . He can change his voice and appearance. Can they find him before he kills next time?
When Dr Rennie Newton is summoned to jury duty, little does she realise that her compulsion to return a not guilty verdict in the trial of notorious killer Ricky Lozada, might prove the most regrettable decision of her life...[return][return]It's a bit unclear how quick after the trial this story starts (you only find out a 3rd of the book in that it's about 2 weeks), this is a reasonable detective/stalker/stalkee story, with the usual romance & sex thing thrown in.[return][return]Decent example of the genre… (more)
Out of Bounds by Sandra Brown
Romantic thriller. Trigger warnings: mass shooter scenario with several deaths including a child.
Elle Portman brings her son to the Texas county fair, where unfortunately, there is a mass shooting. Calder Hudson goes to the fair as a way to apologize to his girlfriend but doesn’t make it to her once the shooting starts. He tries to protect people and grab the runaway stroller but it’s crowded and confusion reins. Calder is lucky. He is hit by a bullet in he arm and survives.
Others aren’t so lucky.
Elle and Calder are key witnesses when it’s found the shooter actually got away.
High level suspense and horrifying consequences precede the police investigation and danger for Elle and Calder. Twists, and turns ramp up the danger and drama. Elle and Calder grow close as they depend on each other for survival.
Elle is, of course, heartbroken and the book is told over months, perhaps lessening the grief but I found her well adjusted. Perhaps that’s not the right description. She will never forget but is able to move forward into a relationship with Calder.
Overall it’s a difficult to read book in the current environment. But I enjoyed the suspense, mystery and reveal.… (more)
