 The Visitor

by Kevin Bachar

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

Just a woman and her dog in an isolated cabin. A major snowstorm is howling outside. And someone or something is outside.

Man, this stuff is my jam. I love isolated settings. There’s no one to help you. It tests Sally’s and her dog, MoBo’s, nerves when things get strange. And a blizzard just adds to the suspense. And Sally’s boyfriend is making the trek. It’s too late to turn him back around. Will he be help or will he be walking into something deadly?

Who is The Visitor? That’s for me to know and you to find out. And Kevin won’t disappoint you. The story takes place in one night and there’s never a dull moment.  Loved it!

5 STARS

Synopsis

Sally and her dog, Maureen Bojangles, MoBo for short, make the slog from Brooklyn to the family cabin upstate. It’s a 2-hour drive from the city, but it might as well be another planet. Twenty-four pharmacies and bass-thumping clubs, are replaced by tiny hamlets and shoddy cell phone service. But the remoteness is what Sally needs to write her memoir and reconnect with the painful memories of her abusive father.

A major blizzard has made the journey to the cabin an adventure in itself, and on their trek to her writer’s hideaway, Sally and MoBo notice strange tracks in the snow and mysterious sounds echoing in the surrounding forest. Sally wants to tell her boyfriend not to come up because of the treacherous conditions, but he’s already on his way.

Then The Visitor arrives, and Sally, her boyfriend, and MoBo are in for a night of terror and a battle for survival. Will they be able to withstand the horrors unleashed by The Visitor?

The Deceiver’s Fall

By J.A. Jackson

 

 

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Synopsis

The stakes have never been higher for Eve Lafoy. After narrowly escaping a chilling abduction, she’s thrust into a darker world of hidden betrayals and dangerous secrets. This time, she refuses to be the victim—she’s ready to take on those who deceived her.

Hawke Deville, carrying secrets of his own, is the only one Eve dares to trust. Yet his loyalty isn’t without its own complexities. With a powerful attraction between them, they must navigate a web of lies, as one wrong move could shatter everything they’re fighting for.

In this thrilling sequel, Eve and Hawke are drawn into a ruthless conspiracy that challenges their trust, passion, and survival. With enemies circling, they’ll need every ounce of courage to unveil the truth before it’s too late. The Deceiver’s Fall is a heart-pounding tale packed with suspense, electrifying twists, and a fierce romance that will grip readers until the final, unforgettable page.

High-Stakes Fierce Romance Thriller

Enjoy this peek inside:

Izard Moulard, stood in the shadows, his figure barely discernible beneath the dim streetlight. He watched them, his sharp eyes narrowing as Hawke pulled Eve closer, her head leaning against his shoulder. Their happiness was almost palpable, but Izard had no intention of letting them stay in their blissful bubble.

“Happy now, are we?” Izard muttered under his breath, his lips curling into a sinister smile. “We’ll see about that.”

His mind raced with plans—plans to dismantle the fragile connection between them, to destroy the trust they had just begun to rebuild. Izard wasn’t the type to leave things to chance. His wealth and power had given him many tools, and tonight, he intended to wield them with precision. He had already set things in motion.

As he moved swiftly through the alley, his polished shoes barely making a sound on the worn cobblestones. His mind was like a storm, swirling with dark ideas and malicious intent. He couldn’t stand the thought of Eve and Hawke happy together, not after everything he had lost. There was too much at stake for him to let them go on living in peace.

What a chilling sight when real estate agent Mosey Frye enters her client’s grand Victorian only to find her strangled and laid out in a coffin. Clued in on the bizarre murder, the new forensic profiler in town raises the intriguing theory of “posing,” suggesting the culprit, plagued by remorse, decided to honor the victim with a grand send-off.

Meanwhile, police chief Gus Olivera, sticking to the evidence, makes a breakthrough by identifying the coffin as one that is missing from the mausoleum. It originally belonged to the victim’s young ward, tragically drowned in the lake by the house years earlier. With real and amateur sleuths baffled, townspeople fear yet another attack from the deranged killer among them.
