More from Valerie
Story ideas invade my mind at the oddest moments. One day as I sorted laundry, I thought how interesting it would be to begin a novel with: “I’d been in the Witness Protection Program for three years when my identity was compromised.”
The idea bubbled and churned in my mind for a while. When I sat down to outline possible scenarios, the ideas hit me like an avalanche. Why was she in WITSEC? Who outed her? I scribbled as fast as I could—yes, I’m behind the times and use paper and pencil to plot my novels.
And so IRO was born. The International Retrieval Organization is my topnotch investigative service, with unlimited resources and experienced operatives.
Weep in the Night is the first novel in my Stolen Lives Trilogy. IRO agents are the heroes or heroines in the series. Which agent will save the day?
My Thoughts
Valerie Massey Goree is a newer author to me. I have read a few other books by this author and I have always enjoyed her stories. Weep in the Night was an amazing read. Sadie Malone has been in witness protection for three years. Her testimony helped put a crime boss away for the murder of her husband and daughter. She has been living a quiet routine life.
Bowen Boudine who is with the International Retrieval Organization shows up. He knows who she really is and tells her she has to come home to California. Sadie, her first instinct is to run, she is still very fearful of the crime boss. Bowen convinces her he can protect her. She is not sure if she cant trust him - especially when she finds out her handler has been murdered.
This book is full of twists and turns. This will be a book that you will want to carve some time out to read. It is packed full of suspense in it's 302 pages. The author has done really good research to how witness protection works - and she makes the story feel real. I cannot imagine leaving everything that I have known behind - and starting over with a new name, identity and no link to the past.
The author has created a great unique story line, she has well developed real feeling characters. This is the first book in the Stolen Lives Trilogy. I have read them out of order, and that does not affect the stories at all. They can all be read as stand alone books.
Thank you the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit Blogging Program for allowing me to read a copy of this book --- all thoughts are my own.
