FROM THE BOOK: “If what Diana suspected were true, she had to get back to the manse before that bastard had booby trapped the entire joint with poison and whatever other nightmares he could think of. Clay was insane or evil enough to have followed her to Pennsylvania and had holed up somewhere in the area in the attempt to make her life living hell, as he'd done when they were married. Would she never stop paying for her mistakes?”
Diana Atestesso has lost her daughter, her livelihood, and her peace of mind to her abusive ex-husband, Clay. Now she returns to the old Victorian mansion in the mountains where she was raised through a traumatic childhood, only to find that her ex is stalking her still. Now is the time to make a final stand. Now is the time Diana calls upon the Fire Golem.
This is a very immediately engaging read. I think it is the most "accessible" of her works yet. It doesn't have quite as many allusions and "inside jokes"-- (don't worry; there are plenty). It reads like a pretty realistic suspense novel, but again, don't worry! Bethany brings the signature bizarro element to this work as well! It's what I want from a novel--a story I'm compelled to keep reading and not put down, even though I should be going to sleep!
