Blind Pursuit

I just wrapped Blind Pursuit. I really enjoyed it and was totally taken for a ride- a very fun ride. It's full of heart-pounding scenes and many shocking twists. Mr. Prescott, once again, delivered. This is my third read of his and comparing Blind Pursuit to the others, it wasn't as awesome as Stealing Faces but much better than Shiver. Take that for what it's worth.
Blind Pursuit leads with the abduction of Erin Reilly. Her captor goes by the name of Harold Gund. He kidnaps women and burns them alive, and now he wants Erin. He intends to use her profession as a psychiatrist to help cure him of his sick and deadly addiction. Gone in the middle of the night, she leaves no clues as to her intention, except a poorly written and forced letter to her twin sister, Annie. Erin must now depend on her gut, wits and Annie's perseverance to survive the inferno that is the mind of Harold Gund.

Excerpt from "Blind Pursuit": The man was tall and heavyset, red-bearded, an uncombed shock of scarlet hair spilling out from under a baseball cap, the bill cocked low over his eyes. On the collar of his winter coat lay a bristle-toothed leaf, deposited there by the sword fern in the alcove where he had lain in wait. His hands were gloved. In his right first, a gleam of metal. She almost screamed, and then his left hand shot out, seized her shoulder, slammed her up against the elevator doors. The impact winded her. She had no breath, no voice. Thrust of his right arm, the metallic thing digging into her stomach below the breastbone, two sharp prongs pinching her skin through the robe and pajama top. From a yard away she stared into his eyes, blue and cold.

Shiver: the Movie: Trailer

I recently read "Shiver" by Michael Prescott, and I just came upon the trailer for the movie version of "Shiver"- due out later this year. Here it is: Enjoy!

Shiver

I'm finally finished with "Shiver" by Michael Prescott. Overall, it was good but I wouldn't read it again. Every now and then, I felt like it was a waste of time, but that feeling was far-and-few between. About 3/4 of the way through, it gets a little repetitive. Shiver is about a serial-killer called the Gryphon, who hunts women on the west side of Los Angeles. He strikes at random, when they're alone and most vulnerable and leaves them dead, headless and always clutching a clay Gryphon statue. Wendy Alden was just another victim till her "death"-gone-wrong, left her a survivor. The Gryphon is rendered furious and left feeling incompetent. A feeling- new to him. He is determined to end her existence and strikes again and again. Now, Wendy must find a way to survive him and to once and for all bring an end to the mythical- and deadly- "Gryphon."

Stealing Faces

I just finished Michael Prescott's Stealing Faces. An awesome book! I couldn't stop turning the pages, eating up every word like licking the sweetness of candy off one's fingertips.
Stealing Faces begins with the hunt and murder of (the fictitious) Sharon Andrews in the White Mountains of Arizona. The star of the show is John Cray. He kidnaps women and then takes them out in the mountains or the desert and hunts them like animals. His last move is to cut the face off his victims as they lay alive, bleeding from the wounds inflicted from his gun and knife. Their last image is their face laying in the hands of their killer. Elizabeth Palmer is the only one who knows John Cray's secret. She stalks him in the night and threatens to expose the truth. But soon the table turns and she will then become the object of his next fixation. In Mr. Prescott's words "She must save her life... or lose her mind."
