Yeah we have started. I was worried that it was not going to happen. I have been digging and wavering on what to offer. Hopefully this one sounds as good to you all as it does to me.





Evil Reincarnate
by Leigh Clark

Psychopaths are not new to Connie Stallman. As a psychiatrist she's seen everything in her work with dangerous patients. But murderer and sexual psychopath Tod Jarrow is something else again.
As Jarrow's prison psychiatrist, Connie finds to her horror that she is inexplicably drawn to the seductive and enigmatic killer. She soon realizes that she can communicate with him on a level so intimate and deep that it seems to be telepathic. But how can she feel so close to a cold-blooded murderer?

Spiderchic's reveal



The Dark Eye by Ingrid Black

'The call comes from a troubled man. Someone, he says, is trying to kill him. He can't divulge more over the phone, but Felix Berg wants to meet. At midnight. Out by the lighthouse at Howth. Reluctantly, Saxon agrees. But could it be a trap? It's not, and soon former FBI agent turned crime writer Saxon is plunged into the heart of a series of apparently motiveless murders that is gripping the city. Four times the gunman known as the Marxman has struck and four times the Dublin Metropolitan Police murder squad have drawn a blank.
Could the answer be found in the dark eye of Felix Berg's camera? Wherever the trail leads, Saxon is determined that this time the Marxman will not escape. And she's ready to step into the line of fire if that's what it takes.

Shadow Man by Cody McFadynen

Synopsis
Once, Special Agent Smoky Barrett hunted serial killers for the FBI. She was one of the best-until a madman terrorized her family, killed her husband and daughter, and left her face scarred and her soul brutalized. Turning the tables on the killer, Smoky shot him dead-but her life was shattered forever.
Now Smoky dreams about picking up her weapon again. She dreams about placing the cold steel between her lips and pulling the trigger one last time. Because for a woman who's lost everything, what is there left to lose?
She's about to find out.

In all her years at the Bureau, Smoky has never encountered anyone like him-a new and fascinating kind of monster, a twisted genius who defies profilers' attempts to understand him. And he's issued Smoky a direct challenge, coaxing her back from the brink with the only thing that could convince her to live.

The killer videotaped his latest crime-an act of horror that left a child motherless-then sent a message addressed to Agent Smoky Barrett. The message is enough to shock Smoky back to work, back to her FBI team. And that child awakens something in Smoky she thought was gone forever.
Suddenly the stakes are raised. The game has changed. For as this deranged monster embarks on an unspeakable spree of perversion and murder, Smoky is coming alive again-and she's about to face her greatest fears as a cop, a woman, a mother...and a merciless killer's next victim.

Make Them Cry by Kevin O'Brien




A Reader's Review By J. DeTurk

"Make Them Cry" is a chilling psychological suspense tale about a serial killer studying at a seminary in a Pacific Northwest town.

Father Jack Murphy is the primary protaganist, a widower who lost his wife and child in an auto accident and then took his vows out of guilt and in hopes that he could make a better contribution to other lives.

Maggie Costello is the older sister of John Costello, a freshman who was close to Father Murphy and who dies early in the story. Maggie and Father Murphy have an immediate chemistry, and his struggle with his vows creates plenty of tension throughout the book.

The third protaganist is Peter Tobin, John Costello's best friend, also a talented artist and very confused young man.

All three suspect foul play in the death of John Costello, and their separate investigations lead them to link the deaths of a prominent judge, a waitress, and several boys that died years earlier at the school.

The book is full of suspense and tension on every page, which kept me reading. I enjoyed the details of the college, and found the characters sympathetic. As the pieces come together, the part about the saints is well done and creates an interesting twist as we learn connections with each character's name.

Lucie's reveal



Broken Prey by John Sandford

The first body is of a young woman, found on a Minneapolis riverback, her throat cut, her body scourged and put on display. Whoever did this, Lucas Davenport knows, is pushed by brain chemistry. There is something wrong with him. This isn't a bad love affair.
"This guy..." Lucas said. He took a deep breath, let it out as a sigh. "This guy is going to bust our chops."
And soon he is going to do far, far worse than that...

I didn't think I would read another, :lol: Did it get to you, Danes? That poor little girl ........then I broke down and read The Face of Death, definitely equally sick (good), so I put it aside waiting for a SSS, but it got canceled last month, then someone nabbed the book from me last week before the sign up for this one came up.

Hopefully I'll come up with another good one so I can play soon.

Well that was short, but sweet.

Hopefully more of our regular SS swappers will be around next month.

Thanks or hosting Danes and thanks for swapping all!!!

It was short and sweet!

Thank you for a small swap and hopefully next month there will be more around!

:D

I do believe that was the shortest swap I've ever played in. :wink: It was still fun though. Hope next month will have more of our regulars back......I miss them!
Thanks Danes for feeding the need. :kiss:

I couldn't imagine living through what she did. I did think the book was really good though. I have The Face of Death on Mt. TBR but haven't read it yet.

We definitely missed our regulars in this swap. Hopefully you all will be back for the March one.
