Review:

PRAISE FOR
"VIRTUE FALLS"
"Dodd slowly ratchets up the suspense level to the breaking point, while introducing readers to the diverse and quirky characters who live in the small town, and Virtue Falls's claustrophobic atmosphere adds to the menacing sense of danger. With this nail-biting book, RITA Award-winning Dodd shifts the dial of her writing more to the suspense side, but the novel's sexy romantic core will still please her longtime fans."--"Booklist ("starred review)"Megatalent Dodd returns with a truly stunning work of mystery, danger, and romance. Dodd enhances this new tale with a ghostly presence. Heroine Elizabeth Banner is brilliant, prickly, and damaged by tragedy, but also utterly compelling. Dodd has always been a terrific author, but she kicks it into a whole new realm with this amazing and terrifying novel!"--"RT Book Reviews "(a 2014 Paranormal Romantic Suspense nominee)"Intense and suspenseful, with touches of romance, humor and mysticism."--"Kirkus Reviews""Edge of the seat suspense and fascinating premise. Couldn't put it down. My kind of thriller!" --Iris Johansen
"Tight, edgy, and compelling, "Virtue Falls" redefines the romantic thriller. This is my favorite kind of suspense... I loved it. Fans of Nora Roberts will devour "Virtue Falls.""--Jayne Ann Krentz "Compulsively readable."--Elizabeth Lowell
"Dodd writes with power and passion--and always leaves me satisfied!"--J.R. Ward

"What an absolute thrill ride of a book! Sign me up for anything Christina Dodd writes." --Karen Robards
