Knock Knock

by H.D. Thomson

Author It seems with each year it gets more difficult to find that time to read a book because of how hectic life gets, so on that thought, I decided to break up Anxiety into 6 quick episodes which can be read while waiting in line or at a doctor or dentist's office.

Author This episode ends with a cliffhanger.

I hope you enjoy Jake and Margot's story. I sure enjoyed writing it.

The Anxiety series was previously published in 2011 as the single title book Shrouded in Darkness.

Jake Preston is on borrowed time . If he doesn’t stumble upon a miracle and soon, he’ll end up dead. And even if he does, he still might end up dead with a clever killer hounding his heels. He believes that the one miracle and antidote to save him is in Margot Davenport’s house, across the country and miles away from Boston. Somewhere locked in her home is the key to reversing an experiment that is killing him with each breath he takes.

Margot doesn’t particularly care if she ends up dead . She’s lost everything she’s ever cared for. A divorce and the loss of her job as a corporate lawyer has left her with little faith in herself or in anyone else. Most importantly, she’s lost the one person on this earth she’s looked up to and cherished–her brother, Johnny. His death in a car accident has devastated her, and she can’t find the willpower to pull herself from the chasm she’s fallen into. Her only solace is at the bottom of a wineglass. Having moved back to the small town in northern Arizona where she was raised, she’s made a point of isolating herself both mentally and physically from everyone other than a few chosen friends. Little does she know that her life is going to explode into chaos.

There's something going on that makes this story entertaining. From the first page, you get the feeling that something's about to happen, unsure it it's good or bad. There's so much loss in Margot's life has been thrown a curveball; divorce, death of a loved one and job transitioning. The story weaves you through secrets and leaves you with the cliffhanger of having to go to the next book to find out what happens.

Wow, I loved reading this book. It does end on a cliffhanger as this is part one. I was sucked in and in for the long haul on this one as soon as I picked it up. The story line is simply amazing, it is full of twists and turns that leave you thinking that you have no clue what is coming next. I really liked the characters Margot and Jake in this story as well. Margot has been through so much, the woman needs to catch a break eventually, right? I will definitely be interested in moving on to part two.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I really enjoyed reading this novel written by H.D. Thomson (also the author of Shades of Holly included in Romancing Christmas: 10 Love Stories To Spice Up The Holidays - Review.) This book is well written and it really pulls you in!I don't want to give too much away but this book is left off on a huge cliffhanger, cannot wait to read H.D. Thomson's next book!

So so

Short story left too many cliffhangers. A few misspelling, grammar errors. Also a Calico cat is always female unlike how Marmaduke, her calico was referenced as a male.

Super original plot line. Didn’t see some things coming and I like to be surprised. Also, pulled me in right away!
