It's always exciting to find a new author that you've not read before and then discover they've already got ten books under their belt.  Whoopee Doo.

 

This month I've found Karen Rose, who writes sizzling, good thrillers with a fabulous dollop of romance stirred in.  Even better, characters from previous books reappear, a particular favourite of mine, especially when you read them in the right order.

 

Scream for Me is a taut, well paced thriller with a great hero and heroine.  What I really loved about it was the way it kept me on tenterhooks the whole way through.  I couldn't stop reading and at the end wanted more (which rather wonderfully there was more because she continues the story in Kill for Me but with a new hero and heroine).  

 

 

So what is it that makes a book unputdownable? In this case, its Karen Rose's brilliant plotting style. Her multi-viewpoint approach keeps the reader one step ahead of the main protagonists.  She writes from the viewpoints of the villains and the heroes revealing what the bad guys have got planned for the good guys.  You just have to read on to find out if the heroes manage to evade or discover the traps the villains have laid for them.  

 

For a lesson in plotting and multi-viewpoint writing, check out one of her books.  You'll also get a damn good read too!
