Praise for THE RISING!
“Peresta’s skill ensures that the central drama of the novel swells around the reader, leaving them to experience the protagonist as her investigator, witness, gossip, judge, friend and foe. An immersive experience. A carefully composed book, with a painter’s eye for details that vivify. ~Coy Hall, author of Grimoire of the Four Imposters and The Hangman Feeds the Jackal
Five Stars!! I couldn’t put it down!
I purchased the Kindle version of Kerry’s new book & read it during a flight to DFW & then a connecting flight from there to Tampa. By the time we arrived in Tampa, I had finished this book. I was actually happy about a long, unexpected delay in Dallas before our second flight. Thank you, Kerry Peresta, for yet another can’t-put-it-down page turner. Fantastic! ~Amazon reviewer

“Addictive! From the time you meet The Hunting’s protagonist until the book’s end, you are pulled into her challenges—from her online dating addiction to her creepy new boss, all while raising three kids as a single mom. You will find yourself pulling for Izzy and loving her!” ~Michele Wojciechowski, author of the award-winning Next Time I Move, They’ll Carry Me Out in a Box
Isabelle Lewis, top advertising salesperson at the Chatbrook Springs Sentinel newspaper, has a habit of falling in and out of marriage. After her last divorce, she’d shoved the emotional pain into a compartment in her brain to deal with later. With three teenagers to raise, bills to pay, and sales quotas to meet, introspection was a luxury she couldn’t afford. Her mind needed a happy place.
When Isabelle (Izzy) discovered online dating, it immediately became her favorite stress reliever and best friend. Often, she’d steal into the night after her kids were asleep to meet someone new. One fateful evening, the hunt for the perfect guy took a sinister turn when the mystery man she met turned out to be her worst nightmare! Reluctantly pulled into a web of lies, Izzy is forced to confront her demons.
