I love Allison's books and I cannot wait to pick up her new one Sudden Death. I have read all the others, I fact I read her No Evil series entirely during my one week vacation in Hilton Head last year. WOW! She grabs you and you don't want her to let go. Want to know another reason I love Allison Brennan? This is on the home page of her website.
"I love books.
I’ve always loved books. I love the way they look on the shelf; I love the way they smell; I love browsing bookstores, admiring covers, reading blurbs, and discovering new authors. My love of reading came at a young age when my mom let me get my first library card as soon as I could print my full name. I was four. That card changed my life."


I could have written that myself. I don't think I was much older than that when I got my first library card. I would spend my summers walking to the library and carrying home as many books as I could hold. I went through hundreds. One summer it was all horse books, Marguerite Henry's Misty books, Anna Sewell's Black BeautyEnid Bagnold's National Velvet... you name it, I probably read it. All the Nancy Drew series, those my friend Graciella and I spent trading and reading in her basement all summer. Another summer it was all biographies. I got in trouble more times than I can count for bringing books to school and reading when I should have been doing something else. I remember a program in elementary school called SRA, it was how to read for information, you read a story and then took a test on it. I went through those so quickly they thought I was cheating. LOL

I was heartbroken when the library moved to bigger quarters and I could no longer walk to it but had to wait for someone to take me. Fortunately, I got my love of reading from my mother and it was never too long a wait to get there.

Anyway back to Allison. Some could call her books brutal. They do deal with serial killers. Her books are dark, violent thrillers. One reviewer on Amazon said "the clock is ticking and you can't wait to know the outcome" That is how I feel about her books.
