    About this audiobook

    “A TIGHT, TWISTY PLOT CATAPULTING TOWARD A FIERY CONCLUSION WILL PLEASE FANS AND SHOULD EARN JACKSON NEW ONES.” –Publishers Weekly

    He’s been waiting for this moment. With every kill, he can feel her getting closer. Very soon—just a few more victims to go. All he needed was the girl, Dani, and now that he has her, his plan is in motion, and no one can stop it…

    “A BOOK THAT’S HARD TO PUT DOWN.” –Times Record News

    The police don’t believe Shannon Flannery when she says someone is out there, watching her, trying to kill her. The only person on her side is Travis Settler. The former Special Forces agent is convinced Shannon’s dark past has something to do with the disappearance of his daughter, Dani—a child whose connection to Shannon is just the beginning of a nightmare…

    “ONE OF JACKSON’S BEST.” –RT Book Reviews

    Secrets have been kept from Shannon. Dark, dangerous, and very fatal secrets. Now, with no one to trust but a man who has every reason to doubt her, Shannon’s determined to discover the shocking truth, even if it brings her face to face with a serial killer whose slow burn for vengeance will not be denied…

    Lisa Jackson

    When asked what has inspired her to write more than 50 novels brimming with adventure, intrigue, hot passion, and high emotion, bestselling Oregon author, Lisa Jackson gets a mischievous smile on her face. Then the words flow as fast as her fingers fly on her computer keyboard when she writes. Her eyes sparkling with memories, she tells stories of her youth, stories of a Huckleberry Finn childhood in the small lumber town of Molalla and on her grandparents' nearby farm in the hilly region of western Oregon. There in the old growth timber, Lisa rode bareback and raced along the ages-old sheep, cattle and deer trails. In the nearby river, she skinnydipped and caught crawdads in her bare hands. An inventive child, she sneaked out of the house and rode her bicycle or horse in the moonlight and dreamed up childish pranks that would have done Tom Sawyer proud. "Nobody could have had a better childhood," Lisa remarks, her twinkling eyes and got-away-with-something-grin giving her a youthful appearance that defies the fact that she is in her mid-40s and the mother of two college-age sons. "My childhood was enchanted. We were a small, tightly knit family. My mum and dad were and still are my greatest supporters." Why then does Lisa write lousy dads and conniving relatives into the plots of books that regularly earn berths on such national bestseller lists as USA Today's and Waldenbooks'? "I think the deepest angst people can experience is what can develop among family members, because our emotions run so deep there," Lisa replied. "Deep down, we care about these people, but being related doesn't mean we think alike or want the same things. I also think manipulative people are fascinating. Characters like those help me to keep the readers' interest. I love it when readers write me to complain that they didn't get any sleep the night before because they had to finish my book." Lisa studied English Literature at Oregon State University for two years before she married. In 1981, when her younger son was a year old, she began writing novels. But she decided she needed a steady income and landed a nine-dollar-per-hour bank job. Before she could begin work, however, her supervisor was arrested for embezzling. "About then I sold my first book, A Twist of Fate, which — guess what! — was about a woman suspected of bank embezzling. It was purely coincidental. The story came out of my background in banking," Lisa provided. "But I guess you could say, if not for a bank embezzler, I might not have made it as an author." In addition to suspenseful contemporary page-turners, Lisa also delivers medieval romances set in eleventh and twelfth century Wales. "I enjoy doing these medieval period pieces, because women were so trod upon then. By nature of their lot in life, I can generate empathy or sympathy for the medieval heroines. They're underdogs from the get-go. Tell me what woman doesn't root for the underdog!" Britannia Roads, a creative Lansing, Michigan tour packager, read the first in Lisa's medieval trilogy and loved her writing so much that she designed a tour of Wales, with Lisa as the featured guest. Tour members will visit some of Princess Diana's favourite places to stay in Ruthin Castle. They'll be in for a treat when Lisa regales them with author stories during the tour, for she is as talented at public speaking as she is at writing novels. When not writing, Lisa enjoys spectator sports, reading, watching The X-Files and socialising now that she's a single mum. Her favourite authors include Pat Conroy, Nelson DeMille, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell, Dick Francis, and other authors who also write compelling page-turners.

      This has been a great and exciting book. But the stories of the families within the stories are very sad. The actions of their father was such that brought bad feelings into the small town. Then the next generation went on with their kind of justice over their brother in law. For this reason another member of their families was lost. This route went on until the third generation.

      A late client of mine recommended this author to me. His granddaughter had recommended the author to him, bringing him a book from the library, and at the time I spoke to him, he was enjoying the book. So when I saw this book on the free rack at the library, I thought I'd take a chance.The plot was very convoluted, but I did guess who the perpetrator was before it was revealed. The prologue scene seems unrelated at first but does contain key elements to figuring out what happened. I didn't guess the star and how the numbers laid out until Paterno figured it out.The book has a lot of action: there's arson, murder, kidnapping. There are also lots of secrets: Travis doesn't reveal what he knows of Dani's birth mother to her so she starts searching on her own, making her a prime target for deception; the Flannery brothers have a pact; at least one Flannery brother has leads on the Stealth Torcher that he hasn't shared with law enforcement; Nate Santana seems to have a secret life. The plot was compelling most of the time, keeping me turning the pages. I do admit though that the sections with Dani dragged for me, especially the time she was being held by her abductor and trying to work the nail from the board. Don't get me wrong--I admire her ingenuity and her spirit and applaud her for not being a "helpless victim"--she's trying what she can to find a weapon or a way to get away--she's observing as much as she can around her to find ways to escape and clues to lead the police to him if she gets away. I admire all that, but I still felt her sections halted the flow of the plot and the build up of suspense. I do wish the author hadn't included the (what seems to be obligatory for this genre) sex scenes in the book. I could forgive the dream sequence one--not that the author had to include it, but dreams were a part of Shannon's character--because to the character, it was a dream, and not something she could fully control. And I might even have forgiven the first scene because they were tired, discouraged, and in a situation where they turned to each other--if it hadn't been so graphic. They came so late in the book that I was kind of hoping I was wrong and that they wouldn't be included at all.

      Her books always present something new. Not same ole, same ole.Good plot, held my attention.
    • 2/5
      This was another recommended author. It took me two months to read it, and I kept plodding through it, only because I wanted to see how it ended and who the arsonist/stalker/kidnapper was.I overlooked the chicky parts and the occasional inconsistencies because the storyline was pretty good.It picked up in the second half and had a twist in the ending. Overall a good story, but I probably won't be reading any more of this author unless she has a bigger publisher with better proofreaders.

      This is the second Lisa Jackson book I have read, and I have to say, I am a fan. I read this one in a day.A killer is stalking Shannon Flannery, a serial killer that likes to kill with fire. And Shannon's family is obsessed with fire, her father and brothers were all fire fighters. Her late husband and his family were also fire fighters. They also all had secrets that they kept from Shannon. Shannon has her own secrets, problem is, the killer knows everybody's secrets. He has a plan, a deadly plan that involves a girl with a connection to Shannon, those close to her and ends with Shannon's death, can she figure it out before its too late, will she survive?Lisa Jackson once again had me fully engrossed in the plot, she throws suspicion all around, hints at dark secrets, shifts from one to scene to another in a manner that kept me involved. I literally could not figure out who did it until she revealed it, one person I suspected, I was kind of relieved it wasn't him, because that was too obvious too early in the book and I would have been disappointed in Lisa. Once again it was a wild, twisty ride to a unexpected conclusion that didn't disappoint.
