Read a Review:
The mystery and allure of New Orleans' French Quarter adds a wonderful element to this super romantic suspense. Atkins hits the ground running with a gruesome murder scene on the first page and never lets up. The serial killer and his sick calling card keep the reader guessing until the end. Also, the chemistry between
a burned-out cop and his beautiful psychiatrist keeps things hot. This is a first-class thriller.

Ms. Atkins weaves an extremely plausible serial killer tale through the streets of New Orleans. She is accurate in her “diagnosis” of Gracie’s patients. The sexual tension builds slowly and never detracts from the mystery or the story. Ms. Atkins paints a vivid come to life picture with her words. Her characters stand before you doing their various machinations. You can smell the coppery blood. You can feel the breezes in the night, see the darkness. You are right there with them. If it sounds like I enjoyed this book and this author, yes, I did! I highly recommend, BLOOD RITE, and I look forward to more books by Melanie Atkins. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a 5!

Spine tingling....page turning suspense with thrills and chills... The scenes were well thought out and the backdrop of New Orleans just added to the excitement. With every chapter there is something new and more sinister waiting for the reader. More clues that lead to an even deeper mystery. Ms. Atkins has done her research well on the city of New Orleans and police lingo and procedure. Bravo for a job very well done and a wonderful story line to back it up.
