About the author

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Suzanne Forster is living proof of William Shakespeare’s maxim that the uses of adversity are sweet. Suzanne’s writing career began by accident. Literally. A car accident ended her dreams for a career in clinical psychology. During her recovery, she began writing to fill the hours, and before she was well enough to return to graduate school, she’d sold her first book and launched a new career.
Since then Suzanne has written more than thirty novels and been the recipient of countless awards, including The National Readers’ Choice Award for Shameless, her mainstream debut. She’s received recognition for outstanding sales from Waldenbooks and Bookrak, and her recent novel, Unfinished Business, was made into a movie for the Oxygen Network.
Suzanne has a Master’s Degree in Writing Popular Fiction, and she teaches and lectures frequently. Her seminars on Women's Contemporary Fiction at UCLA and UC Riverside were rated outstanding, and her most requested workshop, "The High-Concept Synopsis," is based on personal experience. Her breakout novel, Shameless, sold on a synopsis that triggered a bidding war and garnered her a six-figure contract.
Suzanne has received considerable media attention, including a feature segment on Extra, NBC's news and entertainment magazine, and an Emmy Award–winning "Special Report" on CBS Channel 23 News. Her many print appearances include the L.A. Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Redbook and Orange Coast Magazine

Reviews

[Debra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Heart surgeon, Jordon Carpenter has been told by a CIA agent that a woman is going to murder him because he’s on her physician hit list. When a close call makes it clear that the agent is right, Jordon decides to take action and pursue the woman known as Angel Face. When he catches up with suspect Angela Lowe, it appears that years of her memories have been erased although, bit by bit, they’re starting to return. As they do, things begin to heat up between Angela and Jordon. After all, this is romantic suspense.

So, the question is, what would you do with a plot about a woman who might be a serial killer, but she just can’t remember? The idea could have been taken in a number of more plausible directions than author Suzanne Forster chose for this novel, however, she did a good job of portraying main characters as neither all evil or all good. They definitely fall into a murky gray area and spiral down into animalistic survival mode which kept me turning the pages. This was the first Forster novel I’ve read and I’ve heard this isn’t her best work. Would I read another book by Suzanne Forster? Sure, but not right away and not when there are so many authors I’ve yet to read.

She looks like she?s from heaven. But she?s leading him straight to hell? They call her Angel Face. She is as beautiful as her killings are brutal. Her victims are doctors. Her list of targets is long. And Jordan Carpenter is next. The CIA has asked him to help capture her. Ensnare her. Beat her at her own game. It?s a risky proposition, but he has no choice. Jordan, so used to saving others? lives, now has to save his own. How could such a lovely woman possess such a diabolical mind? In pictures, she seems innocent and sweetly sensual. But in person, he?s been told, she?s seductive. Evil. Obsessed. Her face haunts him. Thoughts of her consume him. And the moment they touch, he knows he will never be free of her. This angel. This innocent. This killer?

I enjoy reading everyone of her books..

This was one of the worst books I have ever read. It was absolutely dreadful and I haven't read any of Suzanne Forster's other book because of it. It was so bad, I don't even remember when I read it!
