Laura's Review: "A Dark Lure"

A Dark Lure by Loreth Anne White

An amazing - can’t put it down - read! “Twelve years ago, Sarah Baker was abducted by the Watt Lake Killer and sexually assaulted for months before managing to escape. The killer was caught, but Sarah lost everything: her marriage, her child, and the life she loved. Struggling with PTSD, Sarah changes her name to Olivia West and finds sanctuary working on Broken Bar Ranch… A cop involved with her horrific case remains convinced the Watt Lake Killer is still out there. He sets a lure for the murderer, and a fresh body is discovered. Now Olivia must face the impossible—could the butcher be back, this time to finish the job?”

This is very dark novel of survival and healing with the suspense front and center. This story grips you from the start and has many twists and turns. Once you figure out one plot you see another coming around the corner. Ms. White does an amazing job bringing life into her characters and setting up a complex series of events that leaves you on the edge of your seat. I can usually figure out the plot and “who done it” pretty quick, but not this time! I was mesmerized from start to finish.

This seems to be the new up and coming genre – I’ve read several books lately of this type of dark suspense dealing with kidnapping. All of them seem to be from Indie authors whose books have limited availability. A Dark Lure is available here at the library in paperback only, it is not available through our 3M Cloud Library. But don’t let that stop you from reading it. It is well worth a trip to the library to check out. Call ahead or reserve it online and we will have it ready for you. Warn your family that you will be busy that night – because you won’t want to put it down!
