She must remember the night she’s desperate to forget.
Ellie Brannon fears the return of the monster who abducted her and her friends, leaving her for dead. Fifteen years later, Special Agent Sam Reece is reopening the cold case, and Ellie must trust Sam completely to have any chance of discovering the truth— But is someone luring Ellie into a terrifying return to the scene of the crime?
Amelia (Gray) is a strong character who has led a hard and—of necessity—secret life. She is not close to many people, and her feelings for Devlin disturb her greatly. Although at times unnerving, The Restorer is well written and intriguing, and an excellent beginning to a new series.
The Restorer is a near-perfect first book in a series…an involving and nicely challenging read, and Amanda Stevens is more than happy to assume you’re smart enough to keep up, which is exactly how a book like this should be written: with wit, charm, and a thoroughly likable main character.
The description of not only the characters, but the setting and story as a whole was so incredibly vivid, I was even a little afraid to go upstairs after finishing the book in case the ghosts had actually leapt from the page. THE RESTORER more than deserves a Perfect 10 rating…
