New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan reaches new heights
of passion and suspense in this thrilling novel that takes readers deep into
the California backcountry, where a woman is tormented by visions of a killer.
It starts in her dreams. Hideous flashes from a nightmare only she can stop.
Images of a murderer stalking the ones she cares about most…
Stella Harrison thought she got away from the traumas of her past. Running the
Sunrise Lake resort high in the Sierra Nevada mountains has brought her peace,
even though she doesn’t truly share her quiet life with anyone. Not even Sam,
the hired handyman that notices everything and always seems to know exactly
what she needs.
Stella doesn’t know anything about Sam’s past, but somehow over the last two
years his slow, steady presence has slipped past her defenses. Still, she knows
she can’t tell him about her recent premonitions. So far there’s been no
murder. No body. No way to prove what’s about to happen without destroying the
life she’s built for herself.
But a killer is out there. And Stella knows that this time she’ll do whatever
it takes to stop him.

I’m a big fan of the romantic suspense genre and I love the chase for a serial
killer and Murder at Sunrise Lake offered me something I hadn’t read
before. Stella, our heroine, dreams about the murders before they happen. So
rather than following the police in an investigation, we follow Stella who,
with the assistance of her handyman/lover, tries to work out who is going to be
killed as well as who the killer is. I quite liked this and the way in which
the killings were done was clever. I did find, however, that over time, the
constant repetitive scenes of what happens after Stella had a dream got a
little annoying.
Stella’s romance with Sam is pretty hot. He is quiet, strong, and good looking
and is a dangerous man. I love the way he treats Stella and takes care of her. Their
chemistry is great, but I was disappointed when the steamy scenes faded to
black.
Stella lives in a lovely town and has a great group of friends that we get to
know, and I got the feeling we might get stories for each of them in the
future. I’d be happy to see each of her girlfriends find some happiness. We got
little bits of their stories and I want more. There were times, however, where
the story was focused on her friends, and I was wanting to get back to the serial
killer.
So there were some things that annoyed me about this story but others I really
liked. Overall, I thought the romance between Sam and Stella was great, and the
suspense and action scenes were really well done. This is a solid three-star
read for me.

I've just finished this and really enjoyed it. Personally I'm glad the sex scenes faded to Black. Normally I wouldn't, but Christine Feehan's sex scenes are somewhat boring. Other's mileage may differ
