Caitlin Bergman has never forgotten what happened to her in college, but she’s managed to build a very successful career as a journalist. Now she’s been invited back to her alma mater to receive an honorary degree. She’s hoping her time there will help her lay old ghosts to rest, but instead she gets embroiled in the case of a missing student. Reminded all to well of her own ordeal, she makes a connection with a local detective on the case, never forgetting his department is the same one that destroyed her own case years earlier. But Caitlin is older and wiser this time, and she’s not going to back down or go away quietly, even if it means risking her own life. Norman constructs an intricate mystery and places a strong, independent woman in the center to let her save not only another woman, but herself as well
I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Caitlin Bergman, international best seller and journalist. Twenty years ago she left Indiana University because she was rape and now she back to receive her graduate diploma. As she deal with her demons she decide to write her own story about her rape. It just to sad that women out here are to afraid to come forward when sexually assaulted in fear of not being believe and having it turn back on you.
As she get sidetrack from her own story she agree to help a fellow journalist find her missing friend who went missing two years earlier as they dig deeper they expose a drug ring.
The story doesn't end there because you have another twist Caitlin seems to have a stalker which will lead her into finding what really happen to a missing Angela Chapman.
This is such a good read I didn't put it down until I was finish, it had great twist and turns with strong female character who had her demons but continue to try overcome them can't wait for the next book.
PS
I hope in the next book she give it to the Cops and FBI because they were pissing me off.
You know when you've been in a funk and just can't get attached to anything you read?
Yeah, that won't happen when you read Come and Get Me by August Norman.
I started reading one night when I couldn't sleep. That was a mistake. I finally stopped ready by 5am ... lol. Yes, I was a tad tired the next day, but it was totally worth it.
Come and Get Me is tight, enticing, seductive with its taunts and twists - every time I thought I knew what was happening, that I'd peeled back the layers and understood where the author was taking me on this journey, I found out I was wrong. This is a psychological suspense novel that doesn't disappoint. I was immediately sucked into the backstory of journalist Caitlin Bergman - perhaps because I understood the demons she fought - and felt enticed to get to know her more. She wasn't person, screwed up a lot, but was more real than a lot of characters I've bee reading lately.
I really enjoyed August Norma's writing style. It pulled me in without weighing me down. His writing was tight, descriptive and I found myself going back over sentences and phrases because of the depth in them. When I say this story is seductive with it's taunts and twists...I mean it. The author pulls you in, wraps you tight in the embrace of his words and then teases and taunts you while taking you on a twisted journey.
Do I recommend this book? Absolutely. Pre-order it now. Honestly. Don't wait.
This was a great novel, first in a series, about a damaged journalist, a missing girl, and Indiana University. What’s not to love? Author August Norman skillfully weaves Bloomington, IN landmarks and watering holes throughout. From Lennie’s to Kilroy’s to Nick’s, the best of IU culture is represented as Caitlin Bergman returns to receive her degree after 20 years, and stays to solve a missing person case. There is a great deal of action and suspense, and I appreciate the publisher and NetGalley allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my honest review. Can’t wait for book #2!
