NEW RELEASE....

Even when someone is cloaked by a charming smile and friendly nature, Ivy Nash knows the scent of a predator. Half of her life has been filled with one horrific event after another. Which is why she started ECHO, dedicating her life to rid the world of those who prey on children.

But despite all of her life experiences, nothing can prepare her for the "fun house." A terror unlike any other. And that's when she must decide if clinging to life is worth the hell that she will pay.

Q&A with author John W. Mefford:
Q: What do the Ivy Nash Thrillers have to do with the Redemption Thriller Series?

JWM: The Ivy Nash Thrillers comprise the second sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series. The Alex Troutt Thrillers are the first sub-series. While I'll eventually write a series that connects the major characters and plots from all the sub-series, you don't have to read the AT books prior to the IN books. But I have to say, the AT thrillers are darn good.

Q: So you're saying you don't have to read the Alex Troutt Thrillers before the Ivy Nash Thrillers?

JWM: Nope. While a few of the characters might occasionally overlap between the series, they can be read as stand-alone. And then I'll wrap everything up in a final set of six novels that connects all of the main characters and stories from each sub-series. If you haven't read any of the Alex Troutt thrillers yet, you can try out the first three at a pretty nice discount. Just search for Alex Troutt Box Set.

Q: Can you give some insight into how Ivy Nash might connect to Alex Troutt down the line?

JWM: Sure…and then I'll send over a hit squad. Seriously, I'll be sprinkling in a few clues along the way for those who pay close attention to the details, but it will all come together in that final six novels of the Redemption Thriller Series. And it will be explosive and gut-wrenching at the same time.

Q: How many different sub-series are you planning to have in the Redemption Thriller Series?

JWM: Right now, I see four sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series, with six novels in each. It's the most challenging and fulfilling creative endeavor I've undertaken. I hope you enjoy the journey.

MY REVIEW

While Ivy is making plans to scout out potential offices for ECHO, her business of helping troubled kids, she gets hired by William, who is looking for his kidnapped grandson. It doesn’t take much talking to him before she follows a hunch, and they actually find the boy. But when a second grandson gets kidnapped, the only way to get him back is with the help of Timothy Jankovich, an eccentric millionaire. Timothy seems to care about the kids as much as Ivy. But as things are looking up for Ivy, she is unaware of the evil from her past weaving its way back to her.

Poor Ivy just can’t catch a break. My heart goes out to her, as well as to the kids that she helps. This time the evil affects more than Ivy. Again, John Mefford takes you to the dark side of humanity, and draw emotions that you want to keep hidden, even from yourself. If you want to read a story full of rainbows and smiles, this one is not for you. But if you want one that will keep you on the edge of your seat, holding your breath and expecting the worse, then read the Ivy Nash series. You won’t be disappointed.
