Egesa Springs is a quiet, picturesque town nestled deep in a valley inside the Pennsylvania mountains, but then the sun goes down. Children disappear and adults vanish or die in mysterious accidents. Natives of the town live in terror, but Cierra Lancing is an outsider. Two years ago, Cierra's husband attacked her and left her for dead. Now, healed of her wounds and with a new face and identity, she returns to Egesa Springs determined to protect her children from their murderous father. She believes she knows the secrets buried in Egesa Springs. Unwilling to trust anyone other than herself, she sets with a plan to stop the doom the town has planned for her youngest daughter. What Cierra doesn't expect to find is love with the man who has watched over her children while she was gone, but does she dare trust Tristen Durant? She is certain her husband and his family are behind the murders and the malice, but strange occurrences force her to look beyond the obvious. With the help of an 1827 murder victim, Cierra discovers there are many dangerous secrets she has yet to unbury before she can save her children and herself.

Gone before Dawn,
By Lisa Weakland (Chest Springs, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gone Before Dawn (Paperback)
When I read a book I expect to feel some emotion. This book has certainly done that. My heart was pumping the whole way through and I had a hard time putting it down. It is a very easy read and thouroughly enjoyable. I was even left dreaming about it. I think the author has real talent and I look forward to reading her future books. It is a MUST READ BOOK!!!

Spellbinding!,
By Robert L. Ruble "bobbyruble-author" (Central City, NE United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Gone Before Dawn (Paperback)
A story of a mother's love and ghosts. Cierra Lancing's husband beat her and left her for dead. However, she survived. After extensive plastic surgery, she becomes unrecognizable. Cierra approaches her ex-husband, claiming she needs the serenity of the small town to recover from the loss of her mother, and takes refuge in the town's historical Inn. After losing her children, a ghost from an 1827 murder victim appears and helps Cierra. There are other characters, including the rekindling of love with Tristen Durant, a friend from her past. I don't want to give anymore away. GONE BEFORE DAWN immediately holds your attention, spellbinding from the first page. Suffice to say, the feelings of the love of this mother will cause the tears to flow. A super read story for all. Ms. McMullen has an excellent talent for spinning an exciting story. I look forward to reading more of her work. Reviewed by award-winning author, Bobby Ruble, author of Have No Mercy and co-author with wife, Kam, of Black Rosebud: Have No Mercy II.

A thriller you won't be able to put down!,
By Nina M. Osier (Randolph, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gone Before Dawn (Paperback)
T.C. McMullen writes simply and beautifully about things that are anything else but beautiful. For in the little town of Egesa Springs, isolated by geography and secrets, there's a great deal of evil to hide.Two years ago Tori Slagel, wife of Darren and mother of their two small daughters, survived a beating so brutal that the mob which administered it left her for dead. In a way, perhaps, she did die; because as GONE BEFORE DAWN opens, Tori Slagel no longer exists. It's Cierra Lancing who comes back to Egesa Springs, so changed (she hopes!) by time and surgery that no one there will recognize her. Not even her husband, who is the local elder's son - and who will, therefore, stand by and do nothing to protect their younger child from the fate that Tori/Cierra knows awaits her. Because Kacie Slagel is four years old now...and as far as every adult native to Egesa Springs is concerned, her fate is sealed. Kacie's mother is an outsider, though. And so is journalist Tristen Durant, who (Cierra firmly believes) betrayed her two years earlier. Yet Tristen proves to be Cierra's only possible ally against her husband, his family, and every other inhabitant of Egesa Springs. Every other living inhabitant, that is! GONE BEFORE DAWN is a thriller you won't be able to put down, so don't make the mistake of starting to read it when your time is limited. It has strong elements of horror, but McMullen uses plot twists and surprises to create most of the tale's escalating tension. She doesn't need graphic, gory descriptions to make her readers perceive and fear the depravity that haunts Egesa Springs. No cardboard characters or "stock footage" scenes in this one. You'll be scared out of your wits, and you will love every second of it!
