Borrowed Time by Danna WilbergMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you like serial killers, psychics, and well-written, fast-paced prose, you’ll love Dänna Wilberg’s book Broken Promises, Book 1 of her series Borrowed Time. But I warn you: it’s not for the faint of heart.
Blurb:
Imagine being shot, thrown into a pool, and left for dead, but by some miracle you survive—only to be tormented by visions of young women being murdered…When Suzanne Cash’s dead fiancé, Jack, appears during her near-death experience, she credits him with saving her life. But he keeps reappearing, insisting she revisit her past, leading her to question her sanity his motives. Why would he lead her into the lair of a serial killer? And what is his connection to the victims? Detective Sam Metzger takes her under his wing and is drawn into the mystery, while falling in love with his protégé.
***
Wilberg deftly intertwines Suzanne’s psychic episodes with the real life chase after a serial killer. She switches from mystery to suspense halfway through, and keeps you on the edge of your seat to the very end.
I’m not usually a fan of serial killer stories, partly because the focus is often solely on the psychology of the killer. Broken Promises is more complex. There are threads of budding romance, of dealing with new psychic powers, and of the power of emotional connection to the love of your life, even from beyond the grave. I think my favorite character is Jack. The mystery of his motives Wilberg kept for the very end. Bravo.
