Midnight Sacrifice by Melinda Leigh
Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh returns with a follow-up thriller that USA Today called “an impeccable, unpredictable package of suspense, mystery, romance, and passion.” One by one, people are mysteriously disappearing from a small Maine town. Four months ago, a ruthless murderer killed two people and kidnapped three more, including Danny Sullivan’s sister, who barely escaped. Unfortunately so did the killer, vanishing without a trace into the vast wilderness. When the police fail to find his sister's captor, Danny returns to Maine to hunt him down. He begins his search with another survivor, bed and breakfast owner Mandy Brown, but her refusal to cooperate raises Danny’s suspicions. What is the beautiful innkeeper hiding? Mandy Brown has a secret. But sexy Danny Sullivan, his relentless questions, and the feelings that grow between them threaten to expose the truth. A revelation that puts her family in danger. As more people disappear, it becomes clear the killer is planning another ritual…and that he’s circling in on Mandy.
“Leigh takes us on a roller coaster ride of terror in this equally frightening and romantic storyReaders will escape into the little Northeast town with big secrets and will be surprised by what the author has planned next with each turn of the page. Her vast imagination will have suspense fans cheering, but some of the characters are complex—almost cryptic. All in all, a great read with a plot so thick, it can be cut with a knife.” —RT Book Reviews (4 stars) “Midnight Sacrifice is an impeccable, unpredictable package of suspense, mystery, romance and passion, tied up with an irresistible bow of compelling prose, sinister setting details and characters so real you’ll ache at every setback and give thanks for the smallest triumph. This is one package you won’t be able to unwrap slowly—and you won’t want to put it down until you’ve reached the astonishing, stirring end.” —Kathy Altman, USA Today Happy Ever After “Leigh’s deft hand with crafting real-life characters shines, especially in her honest dialogue. She easily brings the Maine landscape to life and her descriptions of the inn and Mandy’s daily tasks of running it are detailed enough to draw the rooms around you but short enough not to bog you down in the wainscoting.” —Kiersten Hallie Krum, Heroes and Heartbreakers “The thrills and chills are just as intense as the romantic edge. Not only will this book get your attention, it will most definitely keep it!” —Amy Lignor, Suspense Magazine “The mystery interwoven with romance and the sheer terror of experiencing what the victims were experiencing at Nathan’s crazed whims were enough to have me bringing this book everywhere I went until the last page was turned with a sigh. I wanted it to last forever and I will be watching for more books by this author.” —Long and Short Reviews
