Genre: Dark Crime Thriller

 

Blurb:

I didn’t survive the Bringer of Death to spend the rest of my life hiding. I became a police officer to learn the skills to arrest him myself.

After years of freedom, I’m done being prey. I have a badge on my hip and a target on my back.

Detective Callahan, the gruff, razor-eyed cop who pulled me out of the dark, keeps telling me to slow down. He says to follow orders and let the justice system work. But I’m here for justice and vengeance.

I earn my place on the task force. We share coffee, leads, and questions that keep us awake.

The Bringer of Death is still out there, changing masks, changing methods, and he’s getting bolder.

James says obsession could kill me. Maybe he’s right.

I can live with scars. I can’t live with more names added to the list.

A lead turns up that only someone inside the nightmare would recognize. James draws a hard line, and I cross it.

This hunt is personal, and unfinished business.



Trigger Warning: This book contains topics including but not limited to murder, torture, kidnapping, rape, claustrophobia, manipulation, and others.

Blurb:

A serial killer's lair. My living nightmare. My desperate bid for freedom.

I was trying to get away. The yelling. The drinking. The hands that wandered where they shouldn't.

The road that night was full of monsters. He seemed kind. Safe. His wife was at home. I believed him. I wanted to feel safe.

The basement door locked behind me. The darkness swallowed me whole.

His unspoken rules passed from victims taken before me. Stay quiet. Stay small. Don't fight back. Now, I count the days in the screams of the others.

When he's bored, he chooses someone new to hurt. No one survives him.

I saw something he didn't plan on. I can identify him. I memorized the tattoos on his arm.

I see cracks in his control. Moments where his careful world unravels. I'm not waiting for him to choose me.

I'm watching. Waiting. When my moment comes...

I'm getting out.

My Review:

Surviving the Bringer of Death is the first book in the Detective Harper Bennett series by Kira Black. From the very first page, I was captivated by Harper Bennett's world. Surviving the Bringer of Death is a spine-tingling tale that kept me in suspense from start to finish.

Harper has had enough of her mother's drinking and the string of new boyfriends with wandering hands, so she decides to leave. After several hours on a long, dark road, with her snacks depleted and feeling drained and hungry, she makes the risky decision to accept a ride from a man who seems ordinary, claiming he has a wife and baby waiting for him at home.

Harper's life is flipped upside down the moment she steps into his house and descends into the dark basement below. She quickly discovers she is not alone in that eerie space; there are several others trapped there too, all waiting for their turn with the monster who has taken them.

However, Harper is not just waiting in despair; she is observing and plotting for the right moment to flee from this horrifying nightmare with the sinister creature. Will Harper manage to flee this wicked man, or will her fate be the same as those who came before her?
