Out of the Darkness by Lesli Richardson
Lyrical Press
Paranormal
Summary: Ancient evil forces a woman to fight for her life - and true love. Man may forget horrors, but the land remembers. Built on a cursed patch of ground, George Simpson’s house of evil has ruined many lives over its hundred-year existence.
Author Steve Corey rents the place as an early anniversary surprise for his wife, hoping it might repair the deep rift his alcoholism has created in their marriage.
Before they moved to the Simpson house, Samantha Corey thought getting Steve sober was the hard part. But the house's dark nature has turned her thoughts to Matt Barry, Steve’s best friend and agent...and her old love. Can they overcome the ancient evil threatening them all from OUT OF THE DARKNESS?
Warning: Love, sex, violence, and a Labrador retriever who's no Lassie.
My Review: First, let me say, Wow! Out of the Darkness has got to be the most heart pounding book I have ever read. I hated it each time I had to sit it down and managed to finish this 334 page within one day, because it was so good and I just had to know what was going to happen. Normally, I am a strictly romance kind of girl and I really love erotic stories, but this book only had a small touch of romance, when compared to most books I read. I also really enjoy paranormal and suspense, both of which abounded in this story. Out of the Darkness also had a horror to it, which normally I don’t care for at all. All of this combined makes this one of the best books I have ever read. Actually, reading the book felt like I was watching a suspense/thriller/horror movie. Lesli Richardson’s writing flowed together nicely and the book, complex and needing quite a bit of explaining, still moved along at a very good pace.
Steven is a famous author and although he was not the most likeable character I have ever m
et, it wasn’t really his fault. Without giving any details away, he was actually a really good guy and I did catch glimpses of that man, though I still never really found myself rooting for him much at all.
Sami, Steve’s wife, is also an author, not as successful as her husband, but doing good. She is also a very strong woman who has stood by her man more than a lot of ladies would have. After everything that Steve puts her through, she still loves him. Sami also loves Matt.
Matt and Sami were once an item, but they broke it off because they wanted different things in life. They stayed friends and Matt introduced Sami and Steve and they all three became the best of friends.
I don’t want to give any more away, because this is a Must Read Book, I just wanted to give a little glance at the three main characters. If I could give this book more than a 5 and a recommended read, I would!

It was all my pleasure. For someone who loves to read, but has no talent at thinking up a good plot, not to mention no talent with the English language, it always wows me to know that others have such an amazing and admirable talent.
