Fatal Attraction Meets The Fugitive

Did you see and enjoy Fatal Attraction? Was the same true for the Harrison Ford thriller The Fugitive? If so, this is the book for you because it captures the key elements of both and weaves them into a tight, eerie suspense thriller that will make every woman more cautious on the dating scene. The twists had me glued to the pages, especially when the main character finally realizes she is in the hands of a dangerous madman. Neiderman caught this reader early on but cleverly held me until I discovered I was nearly finished reading the entire book. Get this one. You won't regret it.

Fast paced suspense: Twisted romance

Sometimes the deepest dreams can become the worst nightmares. After years of seeing her husband Scott constantly put his job above the needs of his own family, Megan Lester has had enough. She asks her husband for a divorce. When her friend convinces Megan to have a night out on the town, a pushy man won't take no for an answer, at least not until Steve Wallace puts him in his place. Ever since that night, Steve stands by her, ready to come to her aid. Steve watches her. He sees her every move. To Steve, Megan is the ideal woman and he will do anything to make her his. Will Megan realize the danger lurking all too close? Andrew Neiderman's GUARDIAN ANGEL is quick, fast-paced suspense that twists the fantasy of romance into a nightmare. Andrew Neiderman shocks not with gore but by giving a reader a psychological glimpse into everyday values turned extreme. Andrew Neiderman ramps up the creepiness by allowing the reader to see the real man behind both Scott and Steve while Megan remains oblivious to the motivations of both men. The reader knows the score. Megan doesn't. While trying to get her life on track, she does all the right things --- almost. She follows her instincts --- most of the time. The advice her friend gives her seems to be good advice, but is it? Andrew Neiderman builds up the thrill factor, not by hiding the identity of the villain, but rather by showing the reader step by step his depraved vision of women. Even more creepy is the way Andrew Neiderman almost has the reader wanting him to do good, but the problem is the reader knows his deep-kept secret. Likewise, Megan's natural inclinations and desires are easy to understand, except the reader, unlike her, sees the inner pain of both men, and the twisted lengths to which one will take his fantasies. GUARDIAN ANGEL is much more interesting than the cheesy book cover which almost prevented me from reading the book, except that having read the author before, I knew I could depend on him for a suspenseful, engrossing easy-to-read story. I was not disappointed. Unable to put it down, I read it straight through from beginning to end. Andrew Neiderman gives enough character development to understand the characters but not so much as to weigh down the story or the action. Instead, Neiderman focuses on the key elements to maximize the chills. GUARDIAN ANGEL is a very good choice for the suspense lover who wants a light, quick, creepy read. Andrew Neiderman is an excellent author to choose if you want to just relax into a book that will help you to relax and escape into a book after work, on the beach or during a snow storm.

AWESOME THRILLER!

I am so pleased to be the first to review this awesome new thriller from Mr. Andrew Neiderman! Mr. Neiderman always delivers and Guardian Angel is no exception. It is fast paced and the action never stops. I never review a book chapter by chapter or give away the ending but rest assured that you will be very satisfied with this novel. The characters are believable and you genuinely care about them (most of them!). Megan, Scott, and Jennifer are good people caught in a tragic situation. But right from the start, Steve Wallace gives you the creeps... sort of a tingling feeling at the back of your neck. This creep is up to no good! However, by the end of the book, I was not prepared for how truly awful he really is! And the scary thing about it is... you just know there are people out there like this! Of course, Mr. Neiderman also wrote The Devil's Advocate which was a major motion picture. I don't know about you... but I smell a movie deal here! Guardian Angel is that good and that suspenseful! If you want a non-stop thrill-ride... order this book today. And check out his entire library of thrillers!
