Crime writer Aaron Black has arrived in town. His career is in ruins and he's determined to save it by writing a bestseller about the killings. But he needs Cal, and he'll do anything to find him - even if it means endangering lives.

Ratings and reviews

Desperation Point is the second book in the Devil's Cove Trilogy. This dark and disturbing read is the continuation of Cal's story. A journalist wants to save his career by writing a true crime story about the happenings in the small village. There is death, danger, drama, suspense, and intrigue. I will be reading the third book in this gripping trilogy. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

Carrie has been completely ruined after her horrendous experience at the hands of a murderous psychopath who has turned her son into a monster. Her son has vanished into the blue. Her apathy and drunkenness is destroying her family life. Aaron Black is a writer whose ambition is to write a bestseller about the murderous psychopath of Devil's Cove. He has seen Carrie's son and has an idea of where he might be hidden. In exchange for an interview for his book he has promised to lead her to her son. What will his quest entail? Is he risking life and limb for a pipe dream? The fast paced action and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat. Intriguing plot.

Brilliantly written (make sure nobody's watching) Wow! I'm at a loss of words. May I never find myself in a situation like this! I would not know what to do! Accurately described emotions and feelings and decisions to situations that could actually happen in real life. I know the main characters by now and I need to know how and if these horrors will end. This is a must read for anyone interested in human nature and spine chilling suspense!
