Prey of Desire is a fun read that is scary in some parts, nail-biting in others, and surprisingly funny when you least expect it. It’s a murder mystery with a female protagonist that takes its heroine, college student Kimberly Bradford, on an emotional roller coaster ride. She’s dealing with the break-up from her fiancée, who is now missing, to suspecting that someone is stalking her to ultimately realizing she has a connection to a murder that occurred some 25 years earlier.
