Lyra Collins escaped five long years ago from the cult that still held her mother.  And even though all this time has passed, she still cannot let down her guard.  She knows they are looking for, and will continue to hunt, her until she is once again at their mercy.

Cop turned private investigator Dare Lancaster had no idea he was leading a fanatical cult right to Lyra’s doorstep when he agreed to find her.  But now that he has brought trouble to her door, he is determined to get her out.

Cheyenne McCray’s CHOSEN PREY is action packed from start to finish.  From the moment Dare shows up and Lyra realizes she has been found, the chase is on.  Dare refuses to let Lyra down as he thinks he did his ex-partner long ago.  The two of them run from the insane leader of the Temple of Life and his followers who believe Lyra is destined to produce the new Messiah and will stop at nothing to see that prophesy fulfilled.  Of course, Dare is equally determined to make sure they never come set eyes on Lyra again.

The characters in this book are all well defined and complex.  And though it would be hard not to cheer for Dare and Lyra, this reader’s favorite characters were the wonderfully sneaky Mrs. Yosko and the sick and villainous Neal Barker, leader of the cult chasing Lyra.  You just know Mrs. Yosko is not at all what she seems as soon as she enters the story.  Her part in the storyline is small, but she really adds something to the book.  And the insane leader of the Temple of Life, Neal Barker, is so demented and corrupt that you just can’t wait to see what he will do next while waiting for him and Dare to meet face to face.

Cheyenne McCray’s CHOSEN PREY is a powerfully explosive and spine-tingling romantic suspense that lingers in the mind long after the last page is read.
