The marks bear an eerie resemblance to carvings Tora has seen all over the islands, and she quickly uncovers disturbing links to an ancient legend.

Awakening by S J Bolton (Book Review)

From the author of Sacrifice comes her second novel Awakening and it is just as exciting. Her second novel Awakening by S J Bolton is published by Bantam Press. Its ISBN is 0593059239. This hardback thriller is set around the life of a vet Clara Benning. She loves her job as vet in a wildlife sanctary in Dorset, away from humans who do judge her by her appearance.

However when someone dies from multiple snake bites she is forced into the limelight to investigate the murder. Clara finds herself threatened and amidst sinister happenings her mum dies. The truth leads her to uncovering a secret of ancient rituals and a secretive community. Someone has a secret and will kill to keep it. This is a scary gripping novel that is excellantly researched. I highly recommend it. Reviewed by Annette Dunlea author of Always and Forever and The Honey Trap.
