GIVEAWAY AND BLOG TOUR: Deadly Fear by Cynthia Eden (Book Review 2010-132)

Product Description

TWO BRILLIANT AGENTS FBI Special Agent Monica Davenport has made a career out of profiling serial killers. But getting inside the twisted minds of the cruel and the sadistic has taken its toll: She's walled herself off from the world. Yet Monica can't ignore fellow agent Luke Dante, the only man who ever broke through her defenses.
ONE DREAM TEAM
Luke has the unique ability to put victims at ease...professionally, he and Monica made a perfect team. Now they're reunited to catch a murderer who uses his victims' deepest, darkest fears for sport - but their investigative skills aren't enough. Luke and Monica will have to face the secrets from their past, the ones that terrify them the most, if they are to have a future together.
But can they catch a killer whose weapon is...DEADLY FEAR

LOVED IT

 Sparks fly in this debut of a new series by Cynthia Eden!  Monica Davenport is tough and has thrown up walls to keep her isolated from the serial killers she tracks down as an FBI agent.  Luke Dante broke through the walls once and really burns through them again.  Yes, I am using a lot of fire cliches, but the story is hot, really hot. The story is an excellent blend of creepy and sexy.  Now, that is not a cliche.  I seriously was scared while reading about the serial killer Monica and Luke are teamed up to find.

 There are two more books to be released in this series.  My only big complaint is that they won't be released until 2011.  That seems way too long to wait.  Deadly Heat will be released in February, 2011 and Deadly Lies will be released in March, 2011.

    5. Cynthia's website is very informative! She has a fun Ready to Face Your Fears quiz up to help with the excitement for the release of Deadly Fear and let's just say I don't think 6 out of 10 was too bad for this early in the morning!

    6. Cynthia is a new to me author and it looks like this is her first foray into romantic suspense. I was wondering if that was a pretty natural shift from all the paranormal stories you have written? Or was it hard to let some of those topics go?

    21. Another question: What question(s) would you like to ask book reviewers?

      ~Lindy

      ReplyDelete
    22. So sorry--I meant to post this answer with my earlier response! It was a bit hard to let go of my paranormal characters when I wrote a straight romantic suspense. I love my paranormal characters, so it was very tempting to let a demon slip into the story--but I resisted the temptation!

      ReplyDelete

    25. Hi, Lindy! Oh, I love hearing that folks have been saying good things about Deadly Fear--thank you!

      And as far as which characters are difficult to write...some characters can definitely be more challenging than others. I like writing the really strong, kick-ass heroines, but when I have to flip the coin and write about a heroine who is more vulnerable, it takes longer to get into her "head" (so to speak!)

      Let's see...and a question I'd like ot ask a book reviewer...when do you prefer to receive books for review? Months before the release or just before the on-sale date?

    32. Cynthia--You Rock!
      Thanks so much for stopping by. This series is off to a wonderful start, but I am sad I have to wait until next year for the next one. Do the next ones focus on more serial killers?

      Also, as a reviewer, I get books anywhere from 3 months to 3 days before a release. I appreciate when they come about a month before the review. I use a lot of post its to tag them. :)

    35. Hey, Mary! Thanks so much for posting about Deadly Fear--you're the one who rocks!!

      Deadly Heat (book two) will follow a serial arsonist. He's setting up a race with fire-fighters, and unfortunately, victims are getting caught in his flames. That book will be Special Agent Kenton Lake's story.

      Then the third book, Deadly Lies, will be about Special Agent Samantha Kennedy. She will track a serial kidnapper. Sometimes, the kidnapper's victims make it home safely. Sometimes, they aren't so lucky.

      I really appreciate you taking the time to review my book. I hope you are having a fabulous summer!

    39. Question for Cynthia:

      Is it easier or harder to write the backstory for characters who already have a 'history' when the reader first meets them?

      As a reader, I love reunion romances, I like the instant familiarity the h/H already have on page 1.

      Thanks!

      Thanks for giving us some more info on the next two titles! I look forward to checking them all out!

      ReplyDelete
    41. Hi, Scorpio/Jenma! Good question! I think it is easier to write the backstory when an established relationship is in place. That relationship creates a greater sense of intimacy for the characters, so it is easier to explore their pasts.
