About this title

Synopsis:

A revealing look at the ruthless murder of Rick and Ruth Wendorf by Rod Ferrell -- a high school classmate of the Wendorfs' daughter and a self-proclaimed Antichrist who belonged to a vampire cult. With excerpts from the private diaries of the principles and exclusive interviews with every living person involved in the case (including Ferrell, who now sits on death row in Florida), this is true crime at its best.

Review:

"Denver Rocky Mountain News" Frank and frightening....

"Denver Rocky Mountain News" Parents of teens may want to read "The Embrace" just to heed the warning signs.

"Kirkus Reviews" Readers...will get some sense of the shadowy fantasy lives of "kids fallen through life's crack."

"Sun-Sentinel" (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) Jones reports the story carefully....She has obviously done her research....The writing is smoothly competent....For those who question the true story behind the horrific headlines, Jones provides a clear understanding of what moves a "strawberry blond, normal-looking kid, to being this dark figure lurking in the night." Parents would be wise to see "The Embrace" as a cautionary tale: take an active part in raising your child, and know about his or her friends. It may someday save your life.

"Publishers Weekly" Jones provides a good overview of the facts surrounding voyeuristic intensity.
