Night Wind (Five Star First Edition Romance Series)

Rating:
Summary: A great story!
Review: Stephen Mertz has written a fast-paced, exciting novel. Robin Curtis and her son Paul move from Chicago to the small town of Devil Creek, New Mexico, so that Robin can escape from a bad marriage. Naturally, Devil Creek harbors all sorts of dark secrets despite its idyllic appearance. The plot edges over into Dean Koontz territory at times, and Mertz's sure-handed writing keeps things popping. This is a very entertaining book. Highly recommended.

Summary: A great story!
Review: Stephen Mertz has written a great story and I could not put it down until I finished it! The story is suspenseful, fast moving, main characters likable, and he used a theme of romance, suspense, and the mystical, which really works. I do hope we have another book soon from Mertz. An enjoyable read!

Summary: A Mystery that Crackles!
Review: This excellent book is both a mystery and a good character study of the two principal figures in the story. Set in the beautiful Southwestern desert, Mertz writes with both economy and a depth of description that leaves the reader fully immersed in the story. It literally was a book that was hard to put down and kept me up late a few nights, unable to stop at the end of the chapter. With diabolical skill gleaned from years of polishing his craft, Mertz leaves each chapter with a hold-your-breath cliffhanger scene that caused me to actually want to skip chapters to see what happened, and then backtrack. But of course, as readers, we can't do that! I particularly enjoyed the angle of the main female lead having recently moved to the new town with her 12 year old son. This is a book that has many moving parts and much for readers of all kinds to relate to.
