Snatcher Series #2
Saved From A Killer
He took seven before her. Seven died. Jenna Daggert is the first survivor to escape the Miners Bend Woman Snatcher, yet she has no memory of her captivity. As everyone else urges her to remember, one faceless man is determined to keep her silent. Forever.
Deputy Joseph Morgan fell for Jenna before he ever met her. And now she’s alive and back in the flesh, and she wants him to be the one to heal her battered soul. But her idea of healing isn’t what he expects. While she leads him down a dark path into lust, he grows intimidated, not sure if he can draw her back into the light and return her to the woman she used to be…or if the Snatcher will strike first.

O…M…F…G!!! Jenna escaped! She actually survived the harrowing ordeal of being held captive by The Snatcher for 16 days! *record scratch* But wait – before you start cheering, thinking the police will finally arrest this wanted criminal, there’s a huge problem: Jenna doesn’t remember a thing. *sobs*
Everything begins when Deputy Joseph Morgan finds a naked Jenna running wildly through the fields. Jenna’s immediately given medical treatment, but she’s in shock and can’t remember who held her captive – she only sees a blank spot when she tries to remember her captor’s face.
The only thing Jenna responds to is Joseph’s voice as the handsome deputy makes her feel safe. For his part, Joseph has had Jenna’s face ingrained in his mind since she was reported missing. Through the course of the case, he’s had to study every little detail about Jenna, so he feels a strong connection to her and wants to protect her from the crazed killer who is still on the loose.
Jenna slowly starts coming around and refuses to live her life in fear. Thinking the only way to put her ordeal in the past is to ‘fight fire with fire’, she embarks on a non-conventional method to heal herself and enlists Joseph’s help. Way in over his head, Joseph agrees to everything Jenna asks of him, even though at times he feels he shouldn’t. But Joseph can’t help himself, and his body often overrules his mind. What follows between Joseph and Jenna is not for the faint of heart, but apparently is just what the doctor orders for Jenna (Wish I could get the same treatment whenever I get sick LOL) *fans self*
But as Jenna and Joseph sort things out, The Snatcher is in the background, trying to find a way to get Jenna back! We learn that he’s got access to her home, and NO ONE SUSPECTS HIM! *staggers around and faints* It’s only a matter of time before things come to a boiling point, and The Snatcher finally makes his move to get Jenna back.
Caught red-handed, the police move in and apprehend local bad boy, Court Lawson. Here’s a glimpse to the character:
Though, okay, the man looked damn fine in a simple t-shirt and faded pair of blue jeans, he had a chip on his shoulder the size of Antarctica, and he was just as cold. She’d never seen anything but a fuck-off gleam spark from his eyes. A deliveryman that drove a truck, distributing soda to all the vending machines in Miners Bend and surrounding counties, Lawson epitomized standoffish. No one would ever consider him a warm and caring gentleman. (Saved From A Killer, pg. 68)
*jumps up and down* This is it, right? The Snatcher’s reign of terror is finally over and the town is safe, right? *feels a tingle of fear slide up my spine* I don’t know, Fellow Readers, something tells me this ordeal is NOWHERE near being over. Did the police really catch the right man? You’ll have to read Saved From A Killer to find out!
Saved From A Killer was such a rollercoaster of emotions for me, but a thoroughly enjoyable and page-turning read. Trust me when I say this book will leave you thinking about the people around you, wondering how much you really know about them. It’s a quick read, about 90 PDF pages, and full of heartbreaking and suspenseful moments; you won’t be able to put it down!

Saved From A Killer was another phenomenal story in the Snatcher Series. I liked this novel a hair less than the first novel in this series, Taken By A Killer, but the difference wasn't enough to lower my rating.
The second novel in the Snatcher Series is about Jenna Daggert, the first woman to escape the Miners Bend Snatcher, and Joseph Morgan, the deputy who discovers Jenna in the woods after her escape. Jenna doesn't really remember her time with the Snatcher, but she fears what she doesn't remember. Determined not to live in fear, Jenna decides to face her fears of control, sex, and bondage head on, with none other than Joseph, her sexy savior.
Jenna was a tenacious heroine who dealt with her kidnapping with courage and determination. I really admired her for the way she handled things. Honestly, I would have been a big ol' mess if I had been in her shoes; I would not have handled things a tenth of a fraction as well as she did. I commend her for taking charge and getting back control of her life.
I fell head over heels for Joseph in this novel. He was a sexy, take charge, protective alpha male, but he was also a considerate, vulnerable, shy sweetie who couldn't deny Jenna anything. I LOVED both sides of him.
I gave Saved From A Killer (Snatcher Series #2) by Miranda Stowe 4 STARS. The Snatcher Series is a sexy, suspenseful series full of strong, well-written characters, entertaining dialogue, and hot sex! I strongly recommend this series.
SIDE NOTE: I love Ms. Stowe's writing style. She gets her point across in as little words as possible! Some authors spend pages upon pages describing unimportant things, like trees. Unless it's a non-fiction novel about vegetation, who the heck cares that much about trees? Luckily, Ms. Stowe doesn't do any of that nonsense. Her writing style is clear and concise. I never get bored while reading her novels, and I never want to just skip ahead to the dialogue. ;)
UPDATE: I've read the first four books in the Snatcher Series, and I have zero complaints. I'm pretty sure the Snatcher Series is technically classified as a companion series since each novel could be read on its own; however, I strongly recommend reading the entire series in order.
What can you expect from the first four books in the Snatcher Series?
-Lots of crazy, erotic sex
-Sexy, protective alpha males
-Spunky, independent women who aren't afraid of their sexuality
-Some BDSM
-A M/F/M realtionship (Interview With A Killer)
-A demented psychopath who likes to kidnap, break, and kill women
-Loads of suspense
-And a lot of romance
-XOXO

"... I liked that Ms. Stowe back-tracked just a bit into the end of book one to begin this story. While the story can be read out of order, I recommend sticking to the written order for enhanced involvement. I found Joseph’s character endearing: a strong male façade with sensitive and protective tendencies that quickly bond the two. Jenna was likeable as a survivor, but I found her a bit to tough to digest while dealing with the horrors of her kidnapping. I appreciated her will to overcome such a debilitating experience but would have liked to see just a bit more vulnerability...."

December 7, 2011Meant to horrify and disturb, this story delivers! A short erotic horror romance, Saved From a Killer, is about a woman who escapes a killer.
Though Jenna remembers nothing about her captivity, it leaves her mentally messed up as well as physically and emotionally scarred. Needing control back over her life, she goes to extreme measures to heal her battered soul, and her hero Joseph is just the man to help her return to the woman she used to be.
With just enough glimpses inside the Snatcher's head to make my skin crawl, I felt pulled into the series, wanting to find out what happens in book 3.
