Book Review: Talion by Mary Maddox

Summary: "The dying body has a thousand voices, and all of them speak to Rad Sanders. Now he has found his tenth and youngest victim, a fifteen-year-old girl whose death will sing more purely and beautifully than any other. Lisa Duncan has no idea she has attracted Rad's interest. When she goes to spend the summer with her aunt and uncle at their small mountain resort in Utah, he tracks her there and awaits his chance.

He watches as Lisa befriends Lu Jakes, the daughter of employees at the resort. Lu enters his fantasies as well. He learns she is being abused by her stepmother and toys with the notion of freeing her from her sad life and keeping her awhile as his captive. Introverted and strange, Lu seems like an easy conquest who could be persuaded to turn on her new friend. But she possesses a power Rad cannot imagine."

 This is a really exciting suspenseful novel.  It is definitely not one you should start before you go to bed because you will be unable to put it down.

After Lisa is sent to live with her Aunt and Uncle for the summer, she is bored and looking for something to do.  Since they live on a resort, one day she decides to head to the pool and that is when she meets Lu.  Lu is abused by her step mom and soon becomes friends with Lisa.  But Lu has a secret that she ha never told anyone and lucky for the both of them,   that secret will save them from the monster who followed Lisa to Utah. 

Great book!!!  I recommend it everyone who loves mystery and suspense books.  This book will keep you guessing to the end!
