Are You Scared Yet? [Mass Market Paperback]

Hunter Morgan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2007

Some sins can't be forgiven. The police label them "victims," but she only sees them as depraved sinners. With each death, she rids the world of another monster...but not before offering them a chance to repent, atoning with their agony for the evil they committed...Some wrongs can't be forgotten. Delilah Swift is on a career and personal high - recently promoted to detective in Stephen Kill, Delaware, and becoming involved with the chief of police, Snowden Calloway. But happiness turns to dread when bodies surface in a local pond - all dead long before they reached the water. Delilah knows the hallmarks of serial murders, and each gruesome discovery points to a twisted psychopath growing bolder and more brutal...Some crimes deserve no mercy. In this town full of secrets, a cold-blooded killer is acting as judge and executioner. Anonymous notes - harmless at first, then increasingly sinister - appear in Delilah's mailbox. But the closer Delilah gets to the truth, the higher the stakes. Because Delilah has a secret of her own...and it could be the death of her...

5.0 out of 5 stars Hunter Morgan has written another exciting thriller, June 10, 2007

This review is from: Are You Scared Yet? (Mass Market Paperback)

In southern Delaware, the small town of Stephen Kill is usually a quiet place and very little crime occurs there. It is mostly from domestics or drunk and disorderly conducts. There was a serial killer who worked her trade in the town last year but she was found in large part due to detective Delilah Swift. She comes from the south and has a relationship with Chief Snowden Calloway although there are two problems working against it: his biracial background that he family would condemn and he is her superior which is against the rules.

When a young man disappears, his parents are frantic because he is a good person who would never do anything to worry them. His car with the cell phone and wallet on the seat is found; a few days later his body is found in the same pond where last year's serial killer drowned. Several other women disappear. Their cars and bodies found in the same way. Snowden and Delilah know they have another serial killing on their hands. The culprit believes in providing a service to people by killing these sinners and hopes one day to obtain Delilah's approval.

Hunter Morgan has written another exciting thriller that sends chills up and down the readers' spines because almost anyone could be kidnapped and killed. The heroine is a multi-dimensional character who deals with several problems at once and like normal people, not all of them she handles successfully. Though the probability of two serial killers working Stephen Kill seems overwhelmingly unlikely, readers will believe in the validity of these murders. ARE YOU SCARED YET is a must read for reader who love romantic suspense police procedurals with the accent on the investigation.

Five Stars plus! I loved this sequel by Hunter Morgan. I'll admit, I wasn't crazy about the title. I thought it sounded like a teen read, but the suspense and the characters were awesome. I started reading at eight in the evening and didn't stop until the last page. Another excellent keeper from Hunter Morgan. I love good suspense and this is one of the best.
