MY REVIEW
OMG!!!!! Mr Mayhem is one of the best villains, serial killer, ever! Is it possible to love a villain for his goodness, while hating him for his badness? And the crows…do they seek revenge when slighted?
Shawnee is a fabulous character. If I am ever in trouble, I want her at my side. I love that Levaughn, her cop boyfriend accepts her with all her foibles. I worry for her friends and family, afraid Mr Mayhem or Poe will seek retribution for perceived wrongs.
Sue Coletta pens some of the best stories and is at the top of my reading list, one of my go to authors. Her writing shines with the research and details included in her work. I love the use of the crows and the Indian folklore. Her writing speaks to me and I respond with delight.
I kept putting the book down, because I didn’t want to finish it. I wanted to savor each word, letting my mind mull over what would happen next. Loaded with surprises, Sue Coletta’s imagination knows no bounds and I marvel at how her mind works. Read her biography and you will see how she manages to cover the subject matter, serial killers, so well.
Bring on the next one…soon, please.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Silent Mayhem by Sue Coletta.
GOODREADS BLURB
Some things in life defy comprehension, but that doesn’t make them any less real. Or deadly.
When a familiar crow drops a cryptic scroll at Shawnee Daniels’ feet, she’s compelled to open it, even though everything in her power warns her not to. Mr. Mayhem—the most prolific serial killer the North Shore has ever known—claims her life is in danger. He “claims” he wants to help her, but just last year he threatened to murder everyone she loves.
While Mayhem taunts her with oddly-placed feathers, like The Creator left at his crime scenes, an interstate killing spree rocks Massachusetts and New Hampshire. A madman is decapitating men and women, dumping their headless corpses on two area beaches. But what Shawnee soon uncovers shatters all she’s ever known, her memories shredded, the whispers of the past in shambles on the ground.
Can she find the strength to move forward, or will the truth destroy her?

MY REVIEWS FOR SUE COLETTA
Isn’t it cool when a book is so good you slow down so it’ll last longer?! Thanks for reviewing this one.
yep. it’s hard but well worth it to savor all the goodness
I do that too! Try to prolong a great read. I have got to try this author now, Sherry!
Yay!!! Thanks, Laura. If you’d like an ARC of books 1 and/or 2, let me know. Series books are always best if read in order, don’t you think? 🙂
Wow, Sherry Your review blows me away. I love that my writing speaks to you. That’s the best compliment ever; I’m so humbled and honored. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
P.S. RACKED (Grafton County, Book 4) is at my publisher’s, so that’ll be the next to release. I’ll send you an ARC when it’s ready. Still doesn’t have a cover yet, but my publisher is pretty good about not dragging their feet. The waiting kills me! My deadline for Mayhem Series, Book 4, is in June (keeping the title on the DL for now 😉 You’ll understand why later). Although, I’m hoping to submit by mid(ish)-May. Fingers crossed!
Super!!!!! And I do love an author that speaks to me. 🙂
Hey, Priscilla! Fancy meeting you here. 🙂
Mr. Mayhem sounds like a fab villain! This sounds like a great read with all of the imagination, surprises, and Indian Folklore! You know a book is good when you’re trying to savor every little bit, because you don’t want it to end!
Thank you, Lindy!
