Romantic Suspense

 

Mystery surrounds Ciana Stone’s THAT WHICH SURVIVES, a tale of romance, suspense, deceit and a family legacy beyond compare.

Physics professor Senna Laserian, has had enough pain and confusion in her life to last her a lifetime.  So when a string of murdered scientists lead to Senna and a past she can’t remember, she doesn’t know where to turn for help.  Then the strong and brooding Konnor Chase enters her life and nothing is what it seems.  Covert agencies, dead relatives that aren’t dead, mysteries, secrets, missing time and the fate of the world all seem to be part of the Laserian legacy that Senna and Konnor must unravel as the past rushes to catch up with them.

Ciana Stone grabs her readers from the first page and carries them on a wave of mystery and suspense in her incredibly gripping THAT WHICH SURVIVES.  The storyline is complex with many twists and turns that lead Senna, along with readers, in a labyrinth of clues as she struggles to find the connection between her past and the string of murdered scientists that is moving closer and closer to her. 

Stone certainly knows how to peel away a good mystery layer by layer, intricately weaving the elements of the story in such a way to never give away more than she absolutely has to at any given time.  This story just gets better and better until the final explosive climax.

The characters are equally riveting.  Every character in the book from the major players to the minor is cloaked in mystery.  Perhaps it is the strength of the secondary characters that make this book so totally engrossing.  Even the most benign of characters turns out to be something other than they appear. 

This reader defies anyone to figure out the answer to this mystery before the author reveals it.  THAT WHICH SURVIVES is romantic suspense at its best and Ciana Stone’s writing talent has never been more on target.  This book has no choice but to go directly to the top of this reader’s “must read” list.  If you are only going to purchase one e-book this year, this is the book.
