One Scream Away by Kate Brady

Full Description from Book:
Seven years ago Beth Denison was attacked by a killer named Chevy Bankes. Since then, she's created a new life for herself and her daughter, one far removed from the night that ended in an awful tragedy. But now Bankes is out of prison, and his chilling phone calls tell Beth he's coming for her.
Ex-FBI agent Neil Sheridan is driven to investigate a chain of murders eerily similar to a disturbing case from his past. When the killer's trail dead-ends at Beth's doorstep, Neil finds a beautiful woman with a secret she'll do anything to keep. Yet even as Beth surrenders to Neil's protection--and then his embrace--she still refuses to tell him why Bankes hungers to hear her scream, and why she'll soon consider the unthinkable: face Bankes alone.

About Author:
Kate Brady began writing fiction when her doctoral research became tedious. For years, she wrote in the closet, penning several novels that—thankfully—remain there. Now, she leads a double life. Some days, she’s a choral conductor and professor of music education. Other days, she plays with imaginary people on her computer.
Kate lives in Atlanta with her husband, two children, and an array of furry, feathery, and scaly things. When she has time to read, her nose is most often found in a police story or gourmet cooking magazine! She is currently working on her next novel.

My take on the book selection:
Again I really liked this book! It fell into the same category as Dean Koontz and Stephen King, but with a romantic twist. I was surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. The story was quite suspenseful, though you always knew who did the crime. The extra stories about the criminal character is what really pulls you into the book. And the connection between him and the leading lady. At times I felt empathy for her, then other times I felt like she will get what she deserves. Crazy right?! The characters and plots were quite juicy! A very entertaining read, especially for horror fans! Yes I say horror, there are some graphic parts in the book. Regardess, it's a recommendation from me!
