Don’t Turn Around is a spine tingling tale of betrayal and murder. It touches on topics such as Alzheimer’s disease and Domestic Abuse. Two subjects that should never even exist, but this author uses them in an unobtrusive way that enlightens the reader but does not sermonize each issue. Wonderfully written characters offer more than just their names to the book; they also offer enjoyment, wisdom, love, trust, and a whole other roller coaster ride of emotions that will make this a book you will not want to miss. Be prepared for many twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Morgan's newest (after Unspoken Fear) focuses on the small town of Stephen Kill, Del., where Det. Delilah Swift is juggling the latest developments in her busy life: new responsibilities as a detective, a secret affair with her police chief and the troublesome niece she's been stuck with for the summer. And then a serial killer strikes, kidnapping residents of the sleepy town, letting them die of dehydration and dumping them by a pond. As more victims turn up, Swift scrambles to find the killer-who also has an eye on her. Swift is a charming protagonist-strong, smart and honorable-and the populace of Stephen Kill is delightfully varied; Morgan excels at capturing the faces of smalltown life and skillfully weaves domestic concerns (teen pregnancy, etc.) among the taut threads of her murder mystery. Though a "dark secret" plot device feels familiar, a barrel of red herrings will keep readers guessing throughout, and the surprising conclusion won't disappoint. (June)

…Phenomenal is the first thing that topped my lips after I finished this book. The driven force of the characters, not just Delilah and Snowden, but all the exceptional secondary characters that impart a strong voice in this stunning novel are so in-depth, that I felt a part of the investigation. As Rob was pacing in the darkened room, with no water, and no way to get out, in complete solitude, his trepidation seeped from the pages. Even Snowden and his frantic search to find Delilah while trying to stay calm, leaped from the pages. Hunter Morgan paints an edge of the seat explosion that comes with some intense nail-biting from this reader until the last page. Brilliantly molded and shaped, this is one roller coaster ride.

Hunter Morgan has written another exciting thriller that sends chills up and down the readers’ spines because almost anyone could be kidnapped and killed. The heroine is a multi-dimensional character who deals with several problems at once and like normal people, not all of them she handles successfully. Though the probability of two serial killers working Stephen Kill seems overwhelmingly unlikely, readers will believe in the validity of these murders. ARE YOU SCARED YET is a must read for reader who love romantic suspense police procedurals with the accent on the investigation.
