Hello, blog friends!
Last night I returned from a family reunion in Idaho. It was extraordinary, and I'll write about the experience in another post. Today I'd like to share a book I read while traveling to and from the mountain campsite: Born for Revenge by Staci Troilo.
Staci has a knack for writing unforgettable stories, and this one is no exception. I was drawn in from the very beginning pages. The unfolding drama is fast-paced and darkly mysterious. At the nucleus is envy and pride. We all know these sins or aberrations, because we see them manifest everywhere - in the political arena, in our schools, and perhaps even in our neighborhoods. Staci makes them real through well-crafted characters, and ingeniously, takes us back in time and through our own experiences. As the horror unfolds, the secrecy and deceitfulness unravel.
If you're looking for a fast-moving and heart-pounding story, this is one I can heartedly recommend.

BLURB:
Who once was lost now is found. But grace didn’t lead her home.
For the last year, the sinister shadow of unsolved kidnappings has haunted Detectives Holden Walsh and Cabe Paxton. Their cold case turns hot when one of the abductees returns, but her traumatized silence only sparks more questions.
As the detectives unravel a web of deception, they discover depraved horrors spreading further than either imagined. Confronted by secrets and stymied by lies, they finally uncover the truth—though not fast enough.
Another girl is taken.
With their friendship straining under the weight of the case, Walsh and Paxton race to find and stop the ruthless predator, all the while battling an unforgiving clock—and sometimes each other.
The past threatens to repeat itself. Because only some people are born to seek justice.
Others are born for revenge.
