HE IS THEIR JUDGE

In death, they are purified. Holding his victims under water, he washes away their sins as they struggle for their last breath. Then he stakes their bodies to the ground, exposing them for what they really are. Witches, sent to tempt and to corrupt.

JURY

No one knows about defense attorney Charlotte Wellington’s murdered sister, or about her childhood spent with the carnival that’s just arrived in town. For Charlotte, what’s past is past. But others don’t agree. And as a madman’s body count rises, she and Detective Daniel Rokov are drawn into a mission that’s become terrifyingly personal…

AND EXECUTIONER

At last, she is within his reach. All his victims deserve their fate, but her guilt is greatest. And with every scream, he will make her see what it means to suffer and repent—before she dies…

Review

Before She Dies is a captivating romantic suspense that grabs the reader and doesn’t let go.

Charlotte Wellington isn’t what she seems. To the outside world she is an elite attorney that comes from good breeding and money. In reality she is the daughter of carnival workers and grew up moving from town to town following the carnival. Everything changed when he sister died and she escaped the carnival life and left everyone behind.

I loved that nothing is really what it seems in this book. There are a lot of twists and turns to the story that kept me guessing to the very end. The action is fast paced and the plot never drags.

The romance takes second place to the suspense part of the story, but with Charlotte and Daniel it works. Charlotte changes throughout the book and opens herself up. She needs the events of the story to make her open to Daniel and what he offers.

If you are a fan of romantic suspense Before She Dies is a must read.
