Incredible!

If you're familiar with the author and had read her previous 'Evil' trilogy, you'll be familiar with some of the characters in this one; Carina and Nick, Julia and Connor, and Dillon. I'm glad they were part of this book.

I had read Crystal's review on this one and had to pick it up. I'd read the previous trilogy and loved it, so this was pretty much a no-brainer. I'm glad I did.

Brennan has a way of creating fictional characters that seem absolutely More...

I can't even imagine how horrible it would be to have your friends turn up dead, and you suspect the creep that can't seem to take his eyes off of you. Or maybe the only worse thing would be when that same creep escapes jail, throwing your sense of safety out the window, 7 years later and coming straight for you, because you are at the heart of his troubles. This sadly is Robin's life.

Robin tries her best to show a brave face, but Theodore's guerrilla tactics make it hard for her t More...

Something about this book was familiar, but I'm not sure if I'd read it years ago or if the characters were just familiar because they were in another series by the same author. This one was a pretty good representation of the romantic suspense genre. The main killer was a known entity, but there was a secondary killer that was a slight surprise. This was the first in the 'Prison Break' series so I suppose I'll have to check out the other two. This book isn't going to change your life, but it's More...

I wouldn't recommend this book for die hard suspense readers. The plot made it hard to believe some of the parallels shared by the two main characters, Detective Hooper & Robin. The twist in the plot fizzled because it wasn't played to the hilt. The ending was short lived and didn't grab this reader. Theodore Glenn played the ultimate bad guy but the author didn't use this to their full potential. If this is the only book you have for a long trip don't be too disappointed but if you can choose More...

this book really was a thriller--lots of suspense and terror with a despicable villain who is a serial killer of beautiful women who choose to be strippers. he characterizes them as sluts. theodore glenn is an extremely intelligent person who is fixated on a former stripper, robin mckenna. after what happens to her friends, it is not surprising that she can only sleep with the lights on, and that she learns how to shoot a gun.

Hard to put down. Fast paced, edge of your seat book. Killing Fear was incredible if you love a good thriller with a hint of romance. Allison Brennan gives her readers a well written, chilling, hard to put down story. The characters were likable and the story was believable. The villain was scary enough to make you not want to read at night. Will and Robin were great together.

Pretty good...not awesome, not bad. A few sentences that made me cringe grammatically which always makes me wonder about the editor. Only just now saw on the back that it was classified as Romantic Suspense which would go to explain the higher amount of romance than I was expecting. LOL Thought it was just a straight suspense book when I picked it up. Not quite up to Suzanne Brockmann but fairly close I guess.

Theodore Glenn escapes from San Quentin after an earthquake and immediately sets off for San Diego and the woman who testified against him. Obsessed with Robin, Glenn is going to make sure she pays for rejecting him. Robin hasn't seen Will Hooper in the seven years since she broke it off with him. Hooper, the cop in charge of the task force set up to find Glenn, realizes his feelings for Robin never died and he'll do anything to keep her safe. Brennan creates some really sick, twisted villains, More...

If you want a good thriller with some romance thrown in Allison Brennan is always a good choice. Her books are stand alone, but have recurring characters. Depending on your 'scare' levels you maybe shouldn't read any of hers at night. By yourself. Just saying.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this romantic suspense. It was "very good" and 4 1/2 stars, but I rounded up. The suspense was good. Story well written...It was not as intense as some others by this author, but just as good. Good characters that developed well.

I wonder if "Nico" will get his own story? What about Hans Hugo? I like how this author may write a trilogy, but they are all stand alone's. Only the characters may or may not reappear in supporting ro More...

This book is the first book in her third trilogy and it wasn't Allison Brennan's best book but it was still very entertaining. It could have been an even better book if she would have focused more on the serial killer instead of the heroine and her problems. I got tired of her issues and didn't think the romance section of the book fit with the concept. I think Ms. Brennan is a much better thriller/mystery writer than she is as a romance writer. I hope the next one in the trilogy is better. I've More...

Another book from the beach house (owned by Norma H. herself). I hadn't read a book like this for a long time. It was a fun one to read at the beach, suspenseful and full of attractive, likeable characters- except for that murdering one.

It's been two years since I read my first Allison Brennan novel and loved it. This one is even better, the first book in the Prison Break Trilogy. Theodore Glenn is a ruthless killer and has been sent to prison after killing four prostitutes and have a sick obsession with Robin McKenna. When he escapes from prison, he's after the people who betrayed him, including Robin, when he believes he's innocent on the fourth murder. It's up to Will and Robin to find out the truth, when he's kills more peo More...

I think I am going into these romantic suspense books with too high of expectations. Either that or I just don't understand how some of them have so many 5 star ratings. I didn't feel the suspense that I was expecting and the romance aspect was a big yawn for me. I have a few more romantic suspense books from a variety of authors on my to-read list. I am hoping that I will find something that will have me sitting on the edge of my seat.

5 stars – Romantic Suspense

This was my first read by author Allison Brennan, but it won't be the last. Her style reminds me a lot of one of my favorite writers of dark, chilling romantic suspense, Karen Rose, especially the case solving and the uber creepy villain. I would have liked a bit more romance between the H/h, Detective Will Hooper and his witness, former stripper Robin, but the moments they shared were emotional and steamy. It's an intense, thrilling romantic suspense read, a More...

I'm a fan, and love reading about all the familiar characters I know from her other trilogies. I rushed through the intimate scenes that were boring and made me just want to skip ahead to get back to the story line.

Being a mystery fan, I like a story that places the killer under my nose but if you are hoping to figure things out, you'll have a wait late in the book for a few extra characters to be introduced before it is possible to guess what the real truth is.

I really enjoyed this book. I was routing for the good guys all the way through! But the author had me on edge wondering what was going to happen next!I couldn't out the book down! The second killer is not who you'd expect!

Will Hooper met Robin when investigating a multiple murder 7 years ago. The convicted killer escaped prison and is coming after them both!
