Kelly McKenna, a journalist, has been stalked for fifteen years, even through her short marriage to her possessive ex-husband David.  She has received packages in the mail with such contents as dead roses, tainted candy and a doll, which is supposedly an effigy of her with a knife where the heart should be.  Yet she does not have a clue about the identity of her stalker.  She has begun having bizarre dreams of herself in various historical settings, which she believes are past lives.  Each time a man with blue eyes and another man with green eyes are present.  The blue-eyed man is usually a villain and she believes the green-eyed man is her lover.  However, she is finding herself in those settings during the day more and more.  It is so realistic that she can feel the textures of objects around her and smell the scents.  The violence seems to be escalating.  After her break-up with David, she began to date a fellow journalist, Adrian, who wants to marry her.  But so far, she has been unable to bring herself to say yes. 

Kelly is beginning to feel confident; she just received congratulations from the mayor about some of her articles, which helped keep a family from losing everything they owned.  In addition, she hasn’t heard from the stalker for a while, not since she told the guard at work not to accept any more packages for her. Happily, Kelly is beginning to feel in control as she leaves the restaurant where she and her best friend Susan just had dinner.  Walking to the car, she and Susan are in high spirits.  However, as she approaches her red Ford Mustang, for which she had saved for so long, she feels like something is wrong.  Just as she touches her door handle, she sees the bomb on her windshield.  Screaming for Susan, she runs back into the restaurant and Susan calls the police.  As Kelly regains control, she watches the faces of bystanders, but no one looks guilty or satisfied.  In addition to the police, the FBI also gets involved, in the form of Agent Ryan Michaels…green-eyed Ryan Michaels.  She can’t get him off her mind, even when she is with blue-eyed Adrian.  As he investigates, they are drawn closer and closer together.  Ryan knows he should not get involved with a victim, but he can’t seem to help himself.  Who is the stalker?  Could it be someone she knows?  Will they catch the stalker before it is too late?

 

THE SPELL, the first book in the MCKENNA CRIME series, is an intimidating, volatile and thrilling romantic suspense, which will keep you on the edge of your seat.  You will remain glued to the book and turning pages until the very end to see what happens next. Periodically, author Regan Taylor gives the reader a window into the stalker’s thoughts, giving the reader more insight into the stalker.  She creatively deals with reincarnation, past lives, soul mates and stalkers.  In addition, Ms. Taylor shows how a simple spell can be the cause of lifetimes of ruined lives.  Filled with breathtaking suspense, a gripping plot, well-drawn, appealing characters, plot twists, romance and sensual love scenes, this book is a delight.  Author Regan Taylor is a compelling storyteller and I cannot wait to read more of her works.  I highly recommend THE SPELL to anyone looking for a terrific read.
