Back in 2016 I read Charlie Donlea’s first novel Summit Lake. It was terrific and since then I have not missed a Donlea release. And if you asked me to name a favorite it would probably be Some Choose Darkness. No wait Those Empty Eyes. Oh what about Guess Again! That’s on;y because it’s the most recent book! Ugh, screw it they’re all great. Pick a book, Any book book and you’ll love it!
Ah, the subtitle of Charlie’s website say it all!
Stories you can’t wait to finish, But won’t want to end
