Something Deadly
by Rachel Lee
Genre: Horror / Supernatural
My Review
I was trying to figure out what it was about this book that made me love it so much.
Was it the setting? The story takes place on a secluded island. Islands are small and have secrets. Everyone knows each other’s business. And if something goes wrong, there’s nowhere to run.
Was it the characters? Being an animal lover, I couldn’t help but like Markie. She’s the new vet hired for the exclusive island. And the medical examiner, Declan, has an open mind. And I thought he was the perfect fit for Markie. And then there’s Kato, Markie’s wolf/husky companion. He and Markie have this almost spiritual connection. They seem to actually communicate with each other.
Or was it the plot? Something was preying on the inhabitants of the beautiful island. The attacks appeared random, leaving the victims hollowed out husks. The condition of the bodies defied explanation and there was no telling who would be next.
I think it was all of three of these and something more. The writing. Rachel Lee had me hooked right from the beginning. The characters could have stepped off the pages, they felt so genuine. I could visualize the island. And it was chilling to “see” the attacks.
Everything worked for me. I read this book several times, returning to it when I wanted to relax with a favorite story in between new books. This is one of those books that isn’t part of a series, but I sure wish it was.

Synopsis
An island of beauty becomes A GATEWAY TO TERROR…
Few could argue that the exclusive island of San Martin is anything less than paradise. In this wealthy enclave, veterinarian Markie Cross has a thriving practice, but her almost psychic connection to animals has made human relationships — especially with men — harder to navigate. Until mystery, murder and something unfathomable shatter her world…
People are dying strange, unexplained deaths. Island medical examiner Declan Quinn is stunned at the unearthly condition of the bodies, and he and Markie share a dark suspicion that something terrifying and impossible is at work here. Something that may not be human.
As a sinister message becomes clearer, Markie and Dec race to understand the tragic history of this island paradise and unlock the true nature of the evil now descending. Because if they can’t, Markie may become the next victim…
