Over the Edge + Giveaway

Trauma survivor Lindsey Barnes hasn’t fully recovered from the ordeal that almost took her life, and now she’s in the middle of another crisis. Not only is she the sole witness in a high-profile murder case, but someone is also pushing her to question her sanity.

Police detective Jack Tucker doesn’t know what to make of her story, especially when her elusive enemy leaves no evidence behind to lend credence to her claims. Yet the more he gets to know the appealing personal chef, the more he’s convinced someone is targeting not only her sanity, but her life.

And unless they can figure out who is behind the campaign to undermine her credibility, a murderer could slip away–leaving more than one body in his or her wake.

With her signature spellbinding style, the bestselling and award-winning “queen of inspirational romantic suspense” (Library Journal) delivers another riveting tale that will keep you turning pages long into the night.

My Review:

Whoa! That was just…I don’t even have the words. Spellbinding? Thrilling? Compelling? Unputdownable? Those all might be true but they are so inadequate to describe how I feel about this book.

I mean, the way Hannon incorporated a creepy mind games factor into the suspense plot was diabolical! And upped the tension and my engagement to such a level that this became a compulsive read (well, listen) for me. (True confession: I might have notched the audio speed up to 3x at the climatic end just to see it through asap and then I backtracked and listened to it again at my regular speed — once I caught my breath and got my heart rate back down to normal.)

This author’s writing is pure magic. The way she delves into complex back stories — not only of her main characters but secondary ones as well– is phenomenal. She makes me care about all of them to the point I feel like they are real people and worry over every little detail of their lives. Keeps me totally invested in the story.

And the (shudder) glimpses into the villain’s point of view — the way she slowly adds small details that might possible be clues to their identity — masterfully done. Kept me on tenterhooks all the way through. I had my suspicions and ended up with three possible suspects…and one of them was kinda sorta right, but not really. Ha! You’ll just have to read this book to understand how that can even be possible.

I listened to the audible edition of ‘Over the Edge’ because: narrator extraordinaire, Therese Plummer. Her stellar performances are not to be missed. She is often the deciding factor between buying a paperback or an audio book for me. And she makes relistening to my fave authors’ stories that much more enticing.

  14. I’ll never turn down an Irene Hannon novel! I’m anxious to read this latest one because it seems to be a little heavier on the suspense. I like that and the fact that it almost had Kav at a loss for words! That is true word mastery there if you can stump Kav.
