Imminent Thunder (Rachel Lee)


The secluded old house on the edge of town, shrouded by ancient oaks and Spanish moss, seemed like the perfect place for Honor Nightingale to make a fresh start, to find the peace she had never known. But then the voices came, voices from somewhere beyond the edge of reason, whispering of unspeakable horrors.

One man, and one man alone, believed her nightmare was real - her enigmatic neighbor, Ian McLaren. Strange and compelling, he had clearly seen far too much of the dark side, and it had marked him forever. And yet she found herself hungering for him, even as the voices - and her fragile heart - whispered to her to flee...

This was a definite change for me.

You know that feeling when you were a kid and you were afraid to get out of bed because there was something under it...I had that creepy feeling through most of this book. I stayed up to an insane hour reading this because I didnt want to go to sleep with that kind of feeling still lingering.
