CLICK TO PURCHASE! Rita Karnopp’s REVENGE has a woman and her baby running through a maze of mystery and madness in the frozen wilderness.

After repeated attempts are made on her life, Abi and her new baby daughter, Kelly, turn to the police for help. Her sister, Chyna, is positive that Abi’s violent and abusive husband, Trevor Madden, is the one responsible. As Chyna plays amateur sleuth, Abi and Kelly flee into the wilderness with the officer assigned to her case, Miles Sandler. But danger lurks around every corner as Trevor gives chase with Chyna close on his heels.

Rita Karnopp’s REVENGE is mysterious and suspenseful and filled with heartbreak. Abi thought she had the perfect marriage until her husband decides his pregnant wife no longer appeals to him and he sends her to live in a hotel after finding out that the son he desires is going to be a daughter. As a marriage counselor, Abi has a hard time accepting her marriage is over. But then her husband becomes abusive and an attempt is made on her life. Abi’s life finally takes a turn for the better when Officer Miles Sandler is assigned her case and decides to take a personal interest.

This story took many interesting twists and turns leading readers down many a slippery slope wondering what was going to happen next. The storyline moved along at lightning speed and the characters were deeply complex. The only real disappointment was that the two love interests lacked sizzle. They both came across a bit on the “vanilla” side for this reader. Still, the story keeps the excitement high and the adrenaline pumping. This reader is very interested in reading the next offering from this talented author. If REVENGE is any indication, Rita Karnopp’s next book is sure to be sinister, twisted and a real page turner.
