OMIGOD I'm first - sorry I didn't come by last night I was too tired when I got in from the party :)

I'd like Sunny to reveal please. I am going to Lakeside today (big shopping centre in Essex) so I will be back tonight. I have got Sunny's reveal but I will wait for her to show herself, cos Danes won't be about for a while :)

Oh look there IS sunny! :bananadance:

Reaper:Coming Soon to a Family Near you by Steven Dunne
Synopsis
"Things can't go on the way they are. On every estate, law-abiding residents are thinking it. In every school, teachers are thinking it. On every street corner, policemen are thinking it. If we could just remove this family, this pupil, this yob from the face of the earth, the world would truly be a better place. Nobody would miss them. Nobody would mourn for them. If they could just cease to exist and the misery they cause die with them. No fuss, no mess. What a thing." Detective Inspector Damen Brook has seen it all before - so much that he has fled from London to the backwater of Derby leaving behind his marriage, his child and very nearly his sanity, to wind down his once promising career in the peace of the Peak District. But one winter's night, Brook is confronted by a killer he hunted many years before - The Reaper - a man who slaughters families in their homes then disappears without trace. Now the search must begin again. To find his killer, Brook must discover why The Reaper has followed him to his new life in Derby, why he's started killing again and what, if anything, connects the butchered families? In the process, Brook must face his own demons by revisiting the previous investigation and confronting a past that damaged him and destroyed his family.

What You Can't See by Allison Brennan, Roxanne St. Clair, & Karin Tabke




Deliver Us From Evil By Allison Brennan
Demonologist Anthony Zaccardi can't save the twelve priests brutally slaughtered at a California mission, but he's determined to send the killer -- an ancient demon -- back to hell. And when tough, sexy local sheriff Skye McPherson refuses to believe something supernatural is at work, Anthony realizes that to "Deliver Us From Evil" he must first win Skye's trust, then her heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Excerpt From Chapter 1~~~~~~~~~~
Blood isn't red.

Blood goes beyond color. Rich and textured, dark and fathomless, blood was life and death. Burgundy didn't do it justice. If blood were wine, it would be a full- bodied cabernet, perhaps a zinfandel, certainly not something as boring, mundane, two- dimensional as red.

Especially spilled blood, filling the crevices of the nearly two- hundred- fifty- year- old limestone floor of a forgotten California mission. Every hole, every nook, every imperfection in the aged floor filled with blood, corner to corner, the porous stone absorbing death so dark red it was almost black, as black as the heart of the evil man who had murdered the twelve priests in this oppressive chapel.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Reason to Believe By Roxanne St. Claire
Popular TV psychic Arianna Killian's conversations with the dead have earned her the attention of a killer who fears her abilities, and Bullet Catcher Chase Ryker is the skeptical bodyguard assigned to protect her. When the messages turn deadly, they are given a "Reason to Believe" in life after

death...and love...after all.


Redemption By Karin Tabke
After a fatal car crash, bad boy cop Zach Garret's descent into hell is interrupted by an unusual deal for "Redemption." AllÊZach has to do is return to earth as a warrior sworn to defend his ex-fiancée Danica Keller, the unknowing keeper of a power coveted by the forces of darkness. But even harder than keeping Danica alive that longÊis convincing her to give a second chance to the man who once betrayed her.

Giz's reveal:

Last Known Victim by Erica Spindler



August 2005.

Amid death and destruction, hurricane-savaged New Orleans has a new dark force to fear.

As the rescue efforts unfold, a grisly discovery is made at one of the massive refrigerator 'graveyards.' One of these metal hulks contains six human hands--all female, all right hands. The press has dubbed the unknown perpetrator 'The Handyman.' But with no way to trace the origin of this refrigerator, and with evidence lost to time and the elements, the case dead-ends.

Captain Patti O'shay is a straight-arrow, by-the-book cop who is assigned to the case. Her tough, unflinching character is fractured when her husband and fellow police captain is found murdered--surprised by looters taking advantage of the post-storm chaos.

August 2007

Patti, still grieving and disillusioned, gets a call from homicide: skeletal remains have been unearthed in City Park. The unknown victim-- a female--is missing her right hand. But for Patti, this grave holds something even more shocking. Found beside the victim's bones is her husband's police badge.

Casting aside the very 'rule book' by which she has lived her life, Patti is fearless--but so is the killer. As he stalks her she is forced to question all she believes in, to doubt the code she has lived by--because she knows that if she doesn't find The Handyman first, she will become his last known victim.
