Author Introduction
Lucas Astor is an award-winning author and poet with a penchant for telling stories that delve into the dark side of the human psyche. He likes to explore the evil that exists, not just in the world, but right next door behind a smiling face.
Lucas has co-authored several titles with Alexandrea Weis including the ST. BENEDICT SERIES (River of Ashes, River of Wrath, River of Ghosts, River of Madness--coming Feb 2024) and the MAGNUS BLACKWELL SERIES, as well as penned the lyrics for the Bram Stoker Awards® Nominee, SPEAK NO EVIL by Liana Gardner.
Born in New York, Astor has resided in Central America, the Middle East, and traveled through Europe. He currently lives outside of Nashville, TN.
Alexandrea Weis, RN-CS, PhD, is a multi-award-winning author, advanced practice registered nurse, and historian who was born and raised in the French Quarter. She has taught at major universities and worked in nursing for thirty years, dealing with victims of sexual assault, abuse, and mental illness in a clinical setting at New Orleans area hospitals.
Raised in the motion picture industry as the daughter of a director, Weis learned to tell stories from a different perspective. She grew up on movie sets from Live and Let Die with Roger Moore to My Name is Nobody starring Henry Fonda. The first person to give her writing advice was Tennessee Williams, a family friend.
A permitted/certified wildlife rehabber with Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries, Weis rescues orphaned and injured animals. She lives with her husband and pets outside of New Orleans.
Weis is a member of the International Thriller Writers (ITW) and the Horror Writers Association (HWA).
Blurb
Leslie Moore is struggling to get through her last semester at St. Benedict High. Even her relationship with her boyfriend Derek is falling apart. But after receding floodwaters from the Bogue Falaya River expose the bones of a woman, Leslie becomes obsessed with tracking down the killer.
Sightings of an apparition haunting The Abbey send Leslie and her friends back to the scene of the horrors from last Halloween, but no one is prepared for what they find.
After a stranger—the handsome Luke Cross—arrives in town, another girl goes missing, and the sheriff suspects the newcomer is hiding something. Leslie believes the Devereaux family is connected to everything going wrong in St. Benedict. And she means to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.
Not all secrets can be kept silent. Some eventually find their way home.
My Opinion
Dark and Secretive...........
River of Wrath by Alexandrea Weis & Lucas Astor is a thrilling psychological family drama. The story takes the events forward after Beau's death. More secrets are revealed and some new characters spice up the plot. I would like to praise the characters as they are not like regular ones. They are strong, secretive and amazing. Each have a story in their backyard. The author has done a brilliant work, you would not be able to put down the book. The plot takes some dangerous turns especially with its climax. I am eagerly waiting for the third book.
Definitely 5 stars for the book. Thanks to the authors and Kharidobecho.in for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
