Product Description

Product Description

Tortured. . . raped. . . executed. . .
No matter how much he drank, Gavin McAllister couldn't get the headline out of his head. Just words. He was a writer, made his living with words. The impact of the words directly correlated to the emotions of the reader. Words could be twisted, knives to open up wounds long hidden. Maneuvered to evoke buried nightmares. Bare the soul, expose the wound, and you had a best seller. Make them laugh. Make them cry. Above all, make them feel something. He was an expert at manipulating words for emotion.

But he'd seen the body.

It wasn't a story this time. This time it was personal. The demon of his nightmares had no name, but now he knew where to look for him. Glade Springs had secrets. And no one uncovered secrets better than Jacody ives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gem! 26 Mar 2012

This is the third book of Linda's I've had the pleasure of reading and to be honest it's hard to choose which one I like the best.

Right from the very first page I was hooked by this story. An excellent supernatural thriller.

The suspenseful story revolves around Gavin McAllister who has to use his psychic abilities/dreams to save a girl and her mother.

I've come to learn that as far as characters and suspenseful plotting are concerned Linda really has her finger on the pulse. You'll find your pulse rate escalating during this fast-paced thriller.

Can't wait for the next book Linda.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book . . . second. 11 Oct 2010
By Jim Fay - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really liked this book. But although this is the first one written about Jacody Ives, there is a recently released a prequel titled "Sacred Secrets." That's the book to start with.

"The Gifts" is a supernatural mystery thriller. I'd like to say I couldn't put it down, but honestly, I don't read that fast and I do need sleep at night and still have to go to work each day. So it took me a few days to read it. But it was a fun ride, and the suspense kept me wanting to know what happened next.

I hope it's not too long before Prather's next book. I'm hooked. Unless something unexpected happens, I will read anything she writes.

I'm waiting Linda . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars A Questionable Gift 12 April 2011
By M. P. Wallace - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a difficult book to review. It was a page turner, there was a degree of excitement and the spunky heroine was engaging. The other characters were not badly written. It was just that the surprises about them were not that surprising.
The supernatural elements were interesting but not spooky. All the violence was implied. This appears to be the first book with a sequel to follow. There should are opportunies for these charactrs to develop futher.
