The Voice of Waterfalls - Natasha Salnikova

Title: The Voice of Waterfalls
Author: Natasha Salnikova

Format: Ebook provided by author for review

From Goodreads:
Inga manages to escape from a "house of terror" where she was held as a captive along with other girls who were kidnapped. She is chased into the woods and runs onto the road, almost falling under the wheels of an approaching car. She thought, it would be better to die that way than to return to her captors. The driver of the car, to her surprise, saves her. He brings her to his house and introduces her to his family: his mother, his father and his younger sister. He gives Inga a key to a separate room and brings her food. She appreciates his help and calls him her knight from the road. All she needs now is a phone to make a call to her mother. Her savior, Alman, says they don't have one in the house. He's also not in a hurry to take her from his house in the woods to the town where she can talk to police. And Inga began to doubt the noble intentions of her savior. After some time she starts to think this house is worse than the one she was imprisoned in before, if that was possible. 

From the moment I read the synopsis about this book, I knew I wanted to read it.  I just finished it today.  Natasha Salnikova really has a wonderful book here.  And a little fact about it, it was translated from Russian!  That impresses me so much.  You can definitely see some of the author’s Russian heritage in the book from some of the names used, foods mentioned. 

So from the blurb we learn that Inga was kidnapped and held captive with other girls.  But then someone comes along and she is afforded a chance to escape, which she takes.  When this happens you are cheering!  She runs out into the night, her captors hot on her heels.  You think she isn’t going to make it, but then out of nowhere there is a car.  It’s driver, Alman, gets out, fends off her captors and saves her.  Thank goodness!!

Right now I am reading The Voice of Waterfalls, by Natasha Salnikova

This is a very interesting book, and I'm having a hard time putting it down.  I'm hoping I can finish it before I go for Thanksgiving dinner at my family's house!

2) What did you recently finish reading?

This weekend I read two books/novellas from Naomi Clark, Ungrateful Dead 

PI Ethan Banning wouldn't normally touch a haunting case. Mostly because he doesn't believe in ghosts. But when Charlie Mullen asks him to spend the night at a supposedly haunted morgue, Ethan figures, why not? He's broke and Charlie's offering double his normal rate, and that's good enough for Ethan.

But when a troublesome ghost really does show up, Ethan realises he's going to need more than a good supply of alcohol to get through the night

and Demonized

PI Ethan Banning is smoking too much, sleeping too little, and hearing voices. One voice, to be exact: the voice of the demon that possessed him on his last case. A voice that urges him to hurt, rape, kill, and Ethan doesn't think he has the strength to ignore it much longer. 

When his latest missing person case turns into a murder investigation, Ethan finds himself fighting not just demonic urges, but black magic, an incubus with a hidden agenda, and a client who just won't pay up. Luckily, Ethan's got a few friends on his side, like Detective Anna Radcliffe, and his trusty dog, Mutt. If Ethan can ignore the demon long enough, he might just solve this case before it kills him.

I loved both and you can find my reviews for them Here (Ungrateful Dead) and Here (Domonized)


3) What do you think you will read next?

Next up is Voodoo Dues by Stephany Simmons


From the beginning of Figg’s employment, there is something not quite right about the bar. There are few customers, a parade of neighborhood psychics and pentacle adorned visitors, all coming to hold court with her enigmatic boss. Figg is not sure what is going on, but she is determined to find out! 

When the local voodoo queen shows up, and the next morning her grandson ends up dead outside the bar things get interesting. 

Figg pesters Lian into telling her the truth about his former life, and is thrust into a world where the things that go bump in the night are real. There’s a murder to solve, zombies to lay to rest and a villain that neither of them saw coming.
