MY FRIDAY 56
Harold’s fist slammed into her mouth and the impact let her dazed – but only for a second. “Enough! Both of you!” Merry screamed, holding her hand under her face to catch the dripping blood. “All this isn’t helping one bit! We need to sit down – talk about this as a family – just like they suggested in counseling…”
“No, Mom. We don’t. There’s nothing left to discuss.”
(page 56 in Kindle)
MY BOOK BEGINNINGS
Merry watched, her presence cloaked by the shroud of night.
She’d been outside long enough for her vision to acclimate to the darkness. She missed nothing from her perch against the old brick wall. Her shoulders, back, and legs ached, angry for being stuck in the same position for so long.
Judge Merry watches, her presence cloaked by the shroud of nightfall. Nothing moves except her eyes which focus on her target. No remorse. No regret. No second guessing the decision to end the lives of the monsters who turned her into a killer. Jury The peddlers of death from potent chemicals are found guilty. Punishment for their crimes–death. Appeals denied. Sentencing to commence immediately. The leeches who sucked out the life of addicts with each snort, shot, swallow, and injection will now pay the ultimate price. Executioner The idyllic world of Merry Marie Hall, once the loving wife of Harold and mother to their only child, Joshua, is over. Extinguished when Joshua overdosed and Harold died of a heart attack at the funeral. Now Merry hunts down the guilty parties, and one by one, carries out her internal court’s orders. Court is now in session. *This book was inspired by one mother’s journey. A trip down the dark path paved by the demon that came looking for her son-and found him. Her boy’s life turned from the pursuit of a football scholarship to the relentless need for heroin. His life was stolen by the demon. What’s a mother to do? What can a mother do? This fictional mother did what so many only dare to consider behind closed eyes, in their nightmares, and in their dark fantasies.

Such an intense scene. Heading over to check out your review now. Yeah for Anthony’s freebie too!
I love Ashley’s books and can hardly wait to move on to the next one. I feel the same way about Anthony’s reads. A great horror story for the upcoming season.
Great 56, I am intrigued. I have heard of this author but not read her books yet so I will check out the giveaway. 🙂

A great opportunity to get all her books and I am loving what I have read so far. Happy reading Stormi.
Sounds like a fascinating and gritty story. I imagine any mother would dream of revenge. A story about a woman who actually took action sounds like a good one.
My Friday post features FEVER SEASON.
I love these types of books. I have been a fan of Charles Bronson’s vigilante movies and this is the same type of story so I knew I wanted to read it and I loved it.
That book sounds so intense! I hope you are enjoying it. This week I am spotlighting The Royal Ranger by John Flanagan and Once Shadows Fall by Robert Daniels. Happy reading!
Very intense and the book is like that beginning to end.
Adding Night Court to my GR and grabbing the freebie, thanks!
Happy weekend!
Hope you enjoy them both as much as I did. Happy reading, Freda.
Sounds intense! 🙂
Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).
I love a book that grabs me from beginning to end and this did that very well. Thanks for dropping in, Lauren.
Sounds like she’s involved in some kind of stakeout, how intriguing!
Yes she is and very determined! The mystery and thrills are there from the beginning to the end.
Not a fan of holiday horror but more of hope, joy and peace for Christmas. Thanks for sharing. You’re a busy one!!
I understand, LadyD.Thanks for dropping in.
