Reviews

[Sheri · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Seduction (Marilyn Wallace) is psychological thriller at its best. When Lee Montara decides she needs a vacation from her hectic photography job in New York City, she decides to go back to her childhood home and visit with her sister Rosie. She expects to relax on the quiet country farm, but that is not what happens.

Soon gifts start appearing in the home, and it appears someone is obsessed with one of the sisters. As Lee and Rosie try to figure out who is behind these strange gifts, everyone becomes suspect and the sisters fear for their safety.

The Seduction is a suspenseful page turner, it will leave you guessing (until the end) who the culprit is, and wondering what his motive is for tormenting Lee & Rosie.

Hmmm 2.5 stars.
The ending was kind of rushed and crap. The rest was enticing and surprising. Kept you guessing. Several unanswered questions.
