Are You Afraid?

Last night I finished Are You Afraid by Carla Cassidy. I really got into this book, I couldn't put it down until I was too tired to make out words and I finished it in just 2 nights.
Are You Arfaid is the story of Dr. Jessie Langford, a psychologist specializing in helping people cope with fears. She has a private practice and also a radio show titled "Are You Afriad of the Dark?"
Ironically, Dr. Jessie is afraid of the dark, a lingering phobia resulting from an experience when she was 16 and a serial killer abducted her, raped her, sliced her repeatedly with a knife, then tried to burry her alive in a grave.
Jessie, obviously, escaped, but hears later still carries both physical and emotional scars. Nearing the 18 year anniversary of her ordeal, a new serial killer has begun raping and killing women in her town and leaving them to be found by unsuspecting passersby.
The hero, Jake Merridan, is a detective working on the case of the serial killer. He becomes involved with Jessie when she begins to recieve unusual phone calls that she feels threatened by.
Jake and Jessie must work through their pasts to overcome their emotional baggage, overcome their fears, and find a life where they can live safely together, which means Jake must find a killer who is terrorizingyoung women, and discover who may be terrosizing Jessie with terrors from her past.

I really loved this book! You might want to check it out. It's romance/suspense and just came out this month. On a pesronal note, Carla is a hun & I'd appreciate anyone supporting her by picking up her book and giving it a chance.
