Book Review-The Blood of the Viper: A Kate Pomeroy Mystery #5-Linda Watkins

Friday, August 27, 2021



Another one I had to read straight through!

Kate and Jeremy are back on Storm Island and enjoying life until a stranger moves into one of the mansions on the island. He is a recluse--and for good reason--he is the one that everyone thought was dead--and a really bad person who wants Kate. He had abducted her in a previous book and she managed to escape--

Lots going on in this one along with some magic (Kate's ancestor was a witch but more like a healer). Kate goes to the hideaway that she thinks no one else can see to find herbal remedies for her patients.

Lots of excitement and twists and turns that will keep you reading---BUT have they really rid the world of the BLOOD this time? Read the book to find out!!

About the Book: (from Amazon)

The blood waits...

Ancient and deadly, it hungers for a human soul, But over the centuries, it has developed infinite patience. It can wait...

Kate Pomeroy, back on Storm Island is enjoying the good life. She and her love, Jeremy, are now married and have a newborn child. Kate has returned to work at her clinic and basks in the normal life she's finally achieved. But dark forces continue to surround her and the threats she will now have to face may be the gravest yet. Will she once again triumph? Or will she finally succumb to the preternatural menace that threatens to consume her and the ones she loves?

The Blood of the Viper is the fifth novel in the award-winning Kate Pomeroy Gothic Mystery Series.

"If obsession, revenge, and blood-tingling scenes delight you, this is a series you don't want to miss. Phenomenal as always!" ~Susan Sewell for Readers Favorite
