Supernatural beings want revenge in the electrifying and suspenseful thriller, Burned, by Kimberley Patterson. Stalked by a dark presence trying to kill her in her nightmares, Sarah is feeling uneasy and jittery. It all started with a very realistic and horrifying nightmare of being strangled and burned alive. In the morning while she is fixing her breakfast, inexplicably the skillet bursts into flames. Now, the scent of smoke and ashes frequently haunts her during the daylight hours. For comfort and to get in touch with reality, Sarah visits her mother. In a terrifying and freakish coincidence, her mother dies in a fire the following day. Sarah's nightmares are now increasing and include hallucinations. Because of her malefic experiences, she doesn't believe that her mother's death is an accident. But her nighttime incidents are making her tired and nervous, giving her family and friends the impression that Sarah is in need of professional help. While she searches for proof of her mother's murder and at the same time to appear sane, Sarah uncovers something far more sinister than she expects. Working alone, with the shadows closing in and the darkness threatening to take her over, will Sarah succumb or will she survive?

Burned by Kimberly Patterson is a sensational supernatural thriller paired with paranormal phenomena. With ghosts, dark energy, angels and a psychic medium, it is a riveting book that keeps the reader on pins and needles all the way to the conclusion. It has a mesmerizing storyline with an unforgettable plot, and I loved every suspense-filled page. Sarah is a perceptive and insightful young woman and makes a compelling protagonist with her ability to accept her supernatural circumstances and mediate for the Otherside. For those who enjoy spine-tingling novels involving supernatural phenomena, this book is sure to impress you!
