Followed by the unimaginable. ★★★★★ "One of those books that grabs your emotions and plays them against each other. You'll cry at the ending, then smile, maybe even laugh."  ★★★★★ "Part thriller, part psychological warfare, part romance. Is there a category for literary/chick lit/suspense?  ★★★★★ Misogynist men are attractive and persuasive, but marry one and the mask comes off. A psychological thriller like no other.  ★★★★★ "I finished the book the first night. Stayed up way too late because it kept me riveted. I admire how the author tastefully handled a tough subject like abuse." --Norma Rudolph, author  ★★★★★ A thrill ride from page one  ★★★★★ ECHO OF ESCAPE is an adult suspense thriller that follows a young married woman on a daunting emotional journey through spousal abuse, kidnapping, tragedy, and forbidden love.  ★★★★★ Alyssa is a well-drawn character. Readers are inside her head from the first sentence. I liked the "detached observer" showing that the real Alyssa -- the one before Trevor beat her down -- is still there and can come back to the surface.  ★★★★★ Just because Alyssa's husband calls her a stupid, brainless woman doesn't mean she is one. But she believes it for now. It'll take being kidnapped, struggling to escape, and facing something far worse to learn that she's worthy of a truer love than her husband can give her.  ★★★★★ This contemporary women's fiction exposes a husband's misogyny and shows how an oppressed woman can find her strength again.
