Fear the Darkness by Becky Masterman
5.0
Finally have come back to review this one. This book is #2 in the Brigid Quinn series, and if you are thinking of reading these books, I would recommend starting there.
I fell so hard for [a:Becky Masterman|5709381|Becky Masterman|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1421421293p2/5709381.jpg]'s debut novel that I found it unbelievable that I could like a follow up to the story as good-boy was I wrong. This story might have been EVEN BETTER than the first one. We catch up with Brigid following the events of the previous book and life has calmed down a bit. Her marriage seems to be doing well and she's made a few friends at their new local church. A teenage son of a family who were formerly members of the church has died in a drowning. Her friends seem to think as a former FBI agent that she could do a little investigating and bring the family some peace of mind. Also, Brigid/s beloved sister in law has just passed away and it is time for her to take ownership of a promise she made her- to take in Brigid's teenage niece, Gemma-Kate. At first, all is well; but slowly odd things start to happen and Brigid is getting sick. With the help of her husband Carlo and friend Mallory, she begins investigating not only what really happened to the teenage boy, but what is going on in her own house.
I was genuinely shocked by the "who dun it" in this one. And I found myself a little sad to end the book because I felt like the characters had become old friends and I can't see them again until the next book is written. All in all, 2 fantastic books in this series; I'm anxious to read a third!
