Book Reviews of Chasing Demons

Book Review: Midwest Book Review - action thriller plus romance
Summary: 5 Stars

The author of Chasing Horses and Wayne's Dead has done it again. Her gift for creating compelling characters and an exciting story comes a cropper in Chasing Demons. This third book is Christy Tillery French at her best.

At age 14, a beautiful and innocent Kendra is "traded" by her father to Tony Salvatori. Tony is a mobster, an evil, murderous villain of the worst kind. Wealthy and powerful, he grooms the young girl he's renamed Angel to be his wife. At age 18, he marries Kendra / Angel and sets out to make her into the sort of woman he can be proud of in public. Over time her life becomes a nightmare of vicious beatings and observing Tony's murderous vendettas. When he deliberately causes her to miscarry their child, she escapes with the help of a sympathetic henchman.

Battered and hemorrhaging, she finds shelter on the property of Garth Fisher. Garth is a burnt out cop who lives in self imposed isolation in the mountains of North Carolina.
At first shocked and moved by Angel's condition, he soon feels admiration for her courage. Over time, his concern for her turns to tenderness, and then love. The only man Angel has ever known intimately is the brutal Tony. Garth's quiet strength and gentle consideration are a new experience, one she'd like to explore if only Tony's spectre was not threatening their lives.

The raging Tony cuts a violent swath through several states in his maddened search for Angel. And when he and his goons catch up to Garth and Angel, all hell breaks loose. But Angel has vowed to rid herself of Tony. No more chasing demons. The final chapters are full of adrenalin pumping action as Angel takes her stand with Garth beside her.

It seems Ms. French can write in any genre. Her work is always "no holds barred" excitement, with strong and believable characters racing to a satisfying climax. If you like action thrillers with a healthy dose of romance, give Chasing Demons a whirl.

Any movie producers out there? This one would make a thrilling movie.

Summary of Chasing Demons

After losing her unborn baby at the hands of her abusive husband, Kendra Salvatori flees from him to Black Mountain, North Carolina. She collapses in the barn of Garth Fisher, who rescues Kendra from near-death and nurses her back to health. When Kendra is fully recovered, she insists on leaving, aware that her husband, Tony Salvatori, head of a small but very powerful criminal organization, will eventually locate her. Kendra and Garth are by this time in love with one another and Kendra is very fearful of what Tony will do to Garth if he finds her with him. Garth persuades Kendra to stay with him, convincing her that they are in a safe place that is not easily accessible. Because Kendra is so frightened of what will happen when her husband finds her, Garth and Kendra begin to prepare themselves mentally and physically for the battle they know they will eventually face."Compelling characters and a fine balance of romance and danger are this author's trademark. Chasing Demons is Christy Tillery French at her best."-Laurel Johnson, author of The Grass Dance and The Alley of Wishes"Christy Tillery French with tempered elegance creates a stir of emotions while seamlessly switching from one genre to another. Her vivid and silken writing ability is honeycombed with the magic of suspense, romance, mystery and high-grade entertainment."-Sherry Russell, author of Conquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief
