Innocence Synopsis
October 31, 1983, seventeen year old Johnny Baits vanishes without a
trace, leaving the slumbering town of Chipawaha Creek, British Columbia reeling
with his mysterious disappearance. Twenty-nine years later, The French family
moves into his home, never realizing they're not alone in the house. For seventeen year old Roseanna French moving to a strange new town is a problem she can handle. But even she's not prepared for the evil that has been sitting dormant for years... waiting. When seemingly harmless noises and creeping shadows at night leads to the murder of the people closest to her, Ana has to find a way to stop the evil before it can consume her completely
and she can no longer wash
the blood from her hands.
Rafael Ramirez is battling his own demons. Unlike Ana's, his has been haunting him for years. But running isn't an option. He has a mother, a brother and a sister looking to him to keep them safe. He doesn’t have time for pretty girls with issues, even if the sight of her makes him hope for things a guy like him doesn’t deserve. But when Ana asks Rafe for help, what can he do except give it? But what happens when the evil comes after his family? Can they stop it before it's too late or will it claim them the way it had claimed Johnny?

Excerpt
“Where
is he?” he growled, doing a circle.
“Where is he?”
“I
… I think he’s gone,” Ana croaked, fighting not to give into the fainting
sensation beckoning her to sway into its arms.
Rafe
hurried over to her and took her hand. “Come on!”
She
let herself be dragged up the path to the house, positive she would never have
made it there on her own.
On
the porch, he stopped and faced to her, his eyes intense. “Get inside and lock
the door.”
Ana
wanted to laugh. If she could’ve stopped shivering, stopped her teeth from
chattering, her heart from going crazy in her chest, she would have reminded
him that a closed door didn’t apply to ghosts. That locked or not, it wouldn’t
stop that thing from getting inside. But there was something else, another
reason that going inside wouldn’t help.
“He’s
in there,” she told him, tears suddenly burning her eyes. Her bottom lip
trembled.
“What?”
He yanked her away from the open door and thrust her behind him. “Where?”
She
sniffled, wanting so desperately to just bury her face into the planes of his
back and cry. “In my room,” she whispered, absolutely certain of this now.
“He’s inside my walls.”
It
no longer mattered if he thought her insane. Her problems were so much bigger,
so much more frightening. Plus, was she crazy if he’d seen it too? If he’d
fought it? Was she still insane?
Rafe
didn’t look disbelieving. He looked horrified and angry. His eyes widened,
darting between her and the door. “What was that thing, Ana?”
“I
don’t know!” she cried, no longer able to stop the flood of tears that washed
down her face, mixing with the pond water. “I don’t know! I don’t know! I
thought I was crazy. I thought … I’m not crazy! You saw him. You saw him,
didn’t you? I’m not—”
She
was suddenly in his arms, held so tight it was almost impossible to breathe.
But it wasn’t close enough.
“Shh,”
he whispered into her temple. “You’re not crazy. I saw him, too.”
My Review:
Everything this woman writes is gold. I knew we would have another winner/ bestseller on our hands. Airicka really knows how to write scenes that make you feel like you are there with the characters, and she can write some pretty sexy book boys as well! Another thing she does well is suspense and terrifiying situations. I literally felt sick reading about what happened to the Mayor's son. Read this in the dark, i dare you!
