Book Review: “Killing Fear” - Allison Brennan
| By Mary Menzel: This is the first book in a new trilogy called “The Prison Break Series”. “Killing Fear” is the first book I have read by this author but it definitely won’t be the last. Seven years ago Robin McKenna had three of her friends murdered by Theodore Glenn. It is Robin’s testimony that clinches his conviction and he swears revenge on her. Theodore Glenn escapes prison and Robin’s nightmare truly begins. She has no doubt that Glenn will seek his revenge on her… the question is how and when? I was very impressed with the intricacy of the plot and sub-plots that were carefully woven together for an unforeseeable conclusion. I thought the well-placed flashbacks really enhanced the suspense as well as allowed the reader to get up to date on the events that took place seven years before when the murders were actually committed. The reader can really sense Robin’s frustration of wanting to live her life freely vs. her fear of being Glenn’s next victim.
Book 2 in this series, “Tempting Evil” will be released on 5-27-08 and Book 3 “Playing Dead” will be released on 9-30-08. Allison Brennan also has 2 other trilogies prior to this one. |
Allison Brennan is a must read for me. Just discovered her a couple months ago. Her first book, “The Prey” was good but predictable but the writing and suspense seems to get better and better with each new book.
Allison actually sent me “Killing Fear” to review. I had never read any of her books but it was really good. I am now collecting the other books from the other 2 trilogies to read when I can find the time. If you like Allison’s books you must check out the “Stillwater Trilogy” by Brenda Novak. It’s great too! And Brenda has a new trilogy that will start the end of May!
