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.

Eve


Eve is over and I don't know whether I am relieved or, well, not relieved. It was a definite "quick read" but the first half was almost too "quick" for me. I wish Ms. Carey had taken her time in building the plot instead of jumping head first into it. I would of rather her spread the first two chapters out into four chapters, and really let the plot thicken. But hey, she's the published author here.
Eve takes place sixteen years after a deadly virus has taken most of the human population. The name sake of the book is an eighteen year old girl- Eve, who was taken as as a child, from her dying mother, and raised at a school for girls. On the night before her graduation she discovers the truth behind the school and what her promised future actually is, which was nothing like she could have ever dreamed (or feared). She flees into the wild and after meeting up with an old friend from the past, the two set off west to Califia, the dreamlike land of a secure present and a safe future. The two must discover a way to survive in a world they never really knew. Along the way, they will encounter danger, betrayal, friendship and, for Eve, ultimately- love.

Excerpt from Eve: "Arden?" I said again, softer this time. Her eyes were squeezed shut, her cheeks pink and contorted. She turned over, her chest heaving. I stood, reaching out my hand, but she didn't move. Instead her body curled into a tight ball, tensing with great effort. She hacked loudly, her coughs splitting the air. I dropped to the floor. My hand rested on her back as she lurched forwards, trying to free her lungs. When she pulled away we both looked down. Her palms were covered with blood.
