Going Once

By Sharon Sala

As raging floodwaters engulf her Louisiana hometown Nola Landry is stranded on high ground, the unwitting witness to the brutal murder of three fellow survivors.

Finally rescued in the aftermath of the storm, no one is willing to believe a story as horrific as hers—until three FBI agents arrive on the scene…one of whom Nola knows very well.

Tate Benton has been tracking the so-called Stormchaser serial killer for months, never expecting the trail might lead him home, or to the woman he cannot forget. Home is now a ravaged town full of memories—of love, of disappointment, of past mistakes.

The investigation brings Nola back into his life. Long buried feelings resurface, and the former lovers try to pick up the pieces in the wake of the disaster. Amid the relief effort the killer lingers, determined to silence Nola forever.

In the Stormchaser’s twisted mind the pain is far from over…and hers is just beginning.

I was given the second book in this trilogy but when I realized there was a first I am the type of person that has to start at the beginning. So, this book had me up reading well into the morning hours. I couldn't put it down nor did I want to. Fantastic!!

Nola Landry really did mean to go before the storm hit, but she was sick. She escapes her house and is swept away by the floodwaters, finding safety in a tree near a neighbours house, those neighbours are on the roof of their house. When a cop comes they all think they've been saved but then he starts shooting. She climbs higher in the tree and he doesn't see her. Tate Benton has been tracking the Stormchaser killer and finally he has discovered someone who has survived the attack. And she was his first love, they haven't seen each other in years, since he left the area with his mother. His father is still the coroner and the relationship between the two of them is still fraught.It's an interesting read, there's a lot of stuff happening and several characters that sound like they have potential to be very interesting.
