Book Review: The Call of Death by R. J Garcia

Imagine waking up in a hospital room in the future, knowing the name of a serial killer who has killed those close to you. Then waking up to find that your dreams might help you change the fate of you, your friends and the killer.

Sounds wickedly scary.

This is the basis of The Call of Death. Hannah is a rich American going to school in England. She’s had trouble fitting in, but has gained a few good friends. As the dreams become more and more vivid, Hannah and her friends must face a nightmare killer that seems to escape any trap.

I enjoyed the suspense and danger throughout the story. The story flies off the pages but you need to know one thing before beginning this crazy-ass story. Make sure you turn on all the lights in your home. And lock the door.

Indefensible: A Kate Lange Thriller by Pamela Callow

Exciting climax!

This time, Kate must defend her boss, Randall Barrett, who is charged with the murder of his ex-wife, all while a sinister stranger watches from the shadows.

The story picks up right after DAMAGED, the first book in the series. I found that it took a long time for the story to get moving as the first part of the book was mostly review and reflection from the first novel. Once the story opened up, it moved at a fast and suspenseful pace, similar to the first book.
