 Description:

They said the disappearance of two high school students over 25 years ago was mystery that couldn’t be solved.
No one ever said it shouldn’t be.

Following the abrupt end of a relationship, college student Kimberly Bradford finds comfort in the friendship with her over-the-top neighbor, Mallory. And, Mallory encourages her to get back out there. She would of course if it weren’t for the thrilling little love notes and gifts she’s been receiving .

Kim thinks they’re from her ex-fiancee, not realizing he’s been murdered. Worse, whoever is sending her all the extra attention is not only in her inner-circle, but has a connection to that unsolved murder some 25 years ago. That connection puts her life in danger, and exposes secrets better left buried around her closest friends and family.

 

Review:

Prey of Desire is a psychological thriller that gets your attention from the very beginning.

The story is well written. It’s descriptive but not so much that I was tempted to skip paragraphs as I often do. It’s a good mystery with a lot of twists and turns. The ending was a big surprise!

The characters are each unique in their own way. Most of them are pretty crazy. I felt sorry for the main character, Kim, in a lot of ways but she’s pretty immature and frustrating when it comes to men.

I recommend Prey of Desire to anyone who enjoys a psychological thriller.
