It's enough to drive some women mad...</b></p><p>In a tale inspired by real events, pregnant journalist Joan Harken is cautiously excited to follow her fiancé back to his Minnesota hometown. After spending a childhood on the move and chasing the screams and swirls of news-rich city life, she's eager to settle down. Lilydale's motto, "Come Home Forever," couldn't be more inviting.</p><p>And yet, something is off in the picture-perfect village.</p><p>The friendliness borders on intrusive. Joan can't shake the feeling that every move she makes is being tracked. An archaic organization still seems to hold the town in thrall. So does the sinister secret of a little boy who vanished decades ago. And unless Joan is imagining things, a frighteningly familiar figure from her past is on watch in the shadows.</p><p>Her fiancé tells her she's being paranoid. He might be right. Then again, she might have moved to the deadliest small town on earth.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Fans of <i>Rosemary's Baby</i> will relish this." <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b></p><p>"Based on a true story, this is a sinister, suspenseful thriller full of creeping horror." <b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><p>"Lourey ratchets up the fear in a novel that verges on horror." <b>--<i>Library Journal</i></b></p><p>"In <i>Bloodline</i>, Jess Lourey blends elements of mystery, suspense, and horror to stunning effect." <b>--<i>BOLO Books</i></b></p><p>"Inspired by a true story, it's a creepy page-turner that has me eager to read more of Ms. Lourey's works, especially if they're all as incisive as this thought-provoking novel." <b>--Criminal Element</b></p><p>"<i>Bloodline</i> by Jess Lourey is a psychological thriller that grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go." <b>--<i>Mystery & Suspense Magazine</i></b></p><p>"<i>Bloodline</i> blends page-turning storytelling with clever homages to such horror classics as <i>Rosemary's Baby</i>, <i>The Stepford Wives</i>, and <i>Harvest Home</i>." <b>--<i>Toronto Star</i></b></p><p>"<i>Bloodline</i> is a terrific, creepy thriller, and Jess Lourey clearly knows how to get under your skin." <b>--Bookreporter</b></p><p>"[A] tightly coiled domestic thriller that slowly but persuasively builds the suspense." <b>--<i>South Florida Sun Sentinel</i></b></p><p>"I should know better than to pick up a new Jess Lourey book, thinking I'll just peek at the first few pages and get then back to the book I was reading.
