MY REVIEW:

Carol J. Post is uniquely talented in the way she combines a nail-biting, edge-of-the seat, page turner with a sweet romance and a strong faith message. I always enjoy her books and eagerly look forward to the next one.

Survive the Night is a novel that will have the reader looking over her shoulder for awhile. The intensity builds as the heroine and hero work with other law enforcement to apprehend a serial killer before he can kill again. Lexi has been working on the case for awhile but this time it’s personal. The latest victim was a personal friend and it is quite possible that Lexi is in the killer’s sights as his next victim.

A second chance romance blends seamlessly into the plot as Lexi finds herself working with a man from her past. His strong faith is the encouragement that Lexi needs in order to keep going when circumstances seem virtually impossible.

Another riveting novel from this author, Survive the Night is filled with more than enough danger, action, and surprises to satisfy even the most discerning suspense fan. I give it two thumbs up.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

She’s a shoo-in for a serial killer’s next target…

Tracking a serial killer in Harmony Grove turns personal for Detective Lexi Simmons when her cousin becomes a victim. The situation goes from bad to worse when she’s teamed up with Officer Alan White whose heart she broke seven years ago. But she is determined to find justice for Kayla and the other women brutally murdered and won’t let her and Alan’s shared past interfere.

Harmony Grove Police Officer Alan White has lost a good friend. He vows to help the Sheriff’s Department in any way he can, even if it means working alongside the woman who left him with a rejected ring and lots of excuses.
They fight the resurgence of long-buried emotions while working together to solve the case. The only connection between the victims is their approximate age and that they are beaten, strangled and left in the woods, with pictures mailed to the local newspaper shortly thereafter. Eventually, the investigation leads them to a decade-old incident on a college campus…and the realization that Lexi is a shoo-in for the killer’s next target.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

From medical secretary to court reporter to property manager to owner of a special events decorating company, Carol’s resume reads as if she doesn’t know what she wants to be when she grows up. But one thing that has remained constant through the years is her love for writing. She currently pens fun and fast-paced inspirational romance and romantic suspense stories. Her books have been nominated for a RITA® award and an RT Reviewers’ Choice Best Book Award.

Carol lives in sunshiny Central Florida with her husband, who is her own real-life hero, and writes her stories under the shade of the huge oaks in her yard. Besides writing, she works alongside her music minister husband singing and playing the piano. She enjoys sailing, hiking, camping—almost anything outdoors. Her two grown daughters and grandkids live too far away for her liking, so she now pours all that nurturing into taking care of a fat and sassy black cat and a highly spoiled dachshund.
