Review & Giveaway: Forgive Me Alex by Lane Diamond


Synopsis:  Tony Hooper stands in shadow across the street, one amongst many in the crowd of curiosity-hounds gathered to watch a monster's release. Seventeen years after Mitchell Norton, "the devil," terrorized Algonquin, Illinois on a spree of kidnapping, torture and murder, the authorities release the butcher from psychiatric prison.

Tony longs to charge across the street to destroy Norton—no remorse—as if stepping on a cockroach. Only sheer force of will prevents his doing so.

"The devil" walks the world again. What shall Tony do about it? Aye, what indeed.

After all, this is what Tony does. It's who he is. "The devil" himself long ago made Tony into this hunter of monsters. What a sweet twist of fate this is, that he may still, finally, administer justice.

Will FBI Special Agent Linda Monroe stop him? She owes him her life, so how can she possibly put an end to his?

Tony Hooper and Mitchell Norton battle for supremacy, with law enforcement always a step away, in this story of justice and vengeance, evil and redemption, fear and courage, love and loss.

Review:  If you're looking for a good, creepy read, you'll find it in Forgive Me, Alex?  The book is about a serial killer - which on one hand fascinates me, and on the other scares me (and made it a little hard for me to sleep).  Lane Diamond's writing is excellent.  There is nothing negative that I can say about it.  He makes it so that you are truly invested in the characters.  He also gets inside the head of a serial killer in a way that seems incredibly real.  I thought that I knew how this story would end - but instead was completely thrown by the surprise twist.  This book took me on an emotional roller coaster and I was so engrossed that I read it in one sitting.   Enter for your chance to read this excellent book below.

Great review, Jennifer! I'm so glad you enjoyed Forgive Me, Alex. Like you, I had a hard time sleeping after reading it, but a bit of insomnia was worth an incredible read! Thanks for joining us on this tour, and please take a moment to cross-post your review to Amazon and GoodReads :-D

Jennifer, I just wanted to stop by and say thanks again, and wondered if it wouldn't be too much of an imposition to ask you to copy/paste your review to Amazon. I'm sure you know how important those Amazon reviews are. :)
