MY REVIEW
The girl of his dream walks into his life and turns his world upside down.
Sounds a bit cliche, but there is nothing cliche about P M Terrell’s ability to write a fantastic story in The Tempest Murders. She tweaks this suspense novel with touches of the paranormal…and maybe reincarnation?
Ryan had dreams of her ever since he could remember and now she walks into his life. He is more than haunted by his past. It’s as if he is reliving it.
I love his interaction with his sweet nieces and they love his cheesy rabbit dinner. It is touches like this that make her characters unforgettable. The twins immediately stole my heart. I could picture them in all their cuteness.
Man, oh man, this woman can write. There is a bigger mystery than mere murder and I eagerly anticipate her explanation. She is creeping me out, but the suspense and anticipation of what’s coming keeps me from putting the book down.
Category 5 Hurricane Irene is bearing down on them, but that is not the only storm brewing. Ryan struggles to keep the past from being repeated, but can he change Fate? What do you think?
I love the blend of serial killer, murder and mystery, with the paranormal and supernatural.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Tempest Murders by P M Terrell.

GOODREADS BLURB
Detective Ryan O’Clery is working a series of homicides when he discovers a journal kept by an uncle five generations earlier, detailing the same type of murders as the Night of the Big Wind swept the Atlantic Ocean across Ireland in 1839. As Hurricane Irene barrels toward the North Carolina coastline, Ryan discovers even the killer’s description matches exactly. And as he falls in love with television reporter Cathleen Reilly, he begins to wonder if she is the reincarnation of Caitlyn O’Conor, the woman lost to the killer as the storm raged in Ireland-and if he is the reincarnation of Constable Rian Kelly. Now he’s in a race to rescue Cathleen before the killer finds her-or is history destined to repeat itself?

You know I do. 🙂
Gotta love it when an author continues to thrill ya!
For sure. I still have a small pile of her books sitting here, waiting their turn to be read. I feel sooooo lucky to have them. 🙂
That’s a really pretty cover. It certainly catches the eye. I like weather related covers like this.
Me too. Anything to do with water always makes me stop and check it out, but I like storms and sunsets that pop off the page.
Sound like this was plenty suspenseful. I love when a book keeps you reading.
Me too. P M Terrell can spin a great tale making hard to ever put down one of her books. 🙂
Got to love an author that can pull you in and creep you out!
