Yes, great reviews keep on coming for my INESCAPABLE series. Here are just a few:

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery, Intrigue, and Romance, May 25, 2014
 This review is from: Inescapable: The Beginning (Kindle Edition)
What’s better than a book that encompasses mystery, intrigue, and romance? I cannot think of anything! As a new Indie Author Madge Gressley hits it out of the ball park with her debut novel. Inescapable, the first in a series, has enough mystery to keep the reader on the edge of their seats from page one, enough intrigue that it is able to continue to build throughout the book and enough romance to compliment the intrigue.
Inescapable takes readers on a wonderful journey from Dallas to three miles under water and from Lima to Morocco. The characters are so real that they almost jump off the page. The friendship between Darcey and Marti is so similar to friendships I have had, I could empathize and make an instant connection with each. The relationship Darcey and Brad have is awesome!
I won’t spoil the book for new readers but I will say this: once you start this book, you won’t be able to stop and when you reach the end if you don’t … then you need to reread it!
Take a chance on a new indie author! You won’t be disappointed! I promise!!!

What an amazing sequel to Inescapable: The Beginning! Darcey can’t remember anything about her former life but her body seems to remember the attractive man that has captivated her! The attempts on Darcey’s life has Brad running around like a mad man!
Madge Gressley has hit another home run with the sequel to her first book! This series is extremely hot and I can’t wait to see what happens to Brad and Darcey! Totally worth the time and money for a story that will pull you in from the first sentence and keep you riveted until the last!!!

A Review on “INESCAPABLE: THE BEGINNING” by Madge H. Gressley

INESCAPABLE: THE BEGINNING

By Madge H. Gressley

 

Headstrong, impulsive, and beautiful Darcey Callahan takes off in search of Brad, her life’s love, who did not call five weeks after he went on a secret, high-profile job abroad, despite his promise that he would. Knowing that something was wrong, Darcey went to find Brad, only to find herself thrown into a nightmare she had never expected. Will she find her way out? Will Brad be able to save her from the dangers she fell into because of him…or will it be too late?

Action-packed. Full of suspense. Romantic. Fiery.

Yes, I am thinking of Inescapable: The Beginning. When Miss Gressley requested for a book review and sent me the synopsis of this book, I was immediately intrigued. Darcey went abroad looking for Brad who, she believes, is in danger. Instead of finding her life’s love, Darcey fell into a nightmare of accidents caused by manipulations of people wanting to harm Brad, and wanting to take her for her beauty.

A strength of Inescapable: The Beginning is it’s fast-paced, never boring story. At every page, something happens. If you missed a few chapters, you will find that a lot already transpired in the story. It is not a book that can be good at some points, and then slows down on the next that you would be tempted to jump over a few pages.  The plot is gripping, the romance fiery, and the flow so fast and strong you would not be noticing your coffee had already gone cold (this is not an exaggeration – I had to prepare another coffee while reading this one).

Another good point about Inescapable: The Beginning is the way Miss Gressley created the characters. They are convincing, unique, and complex in their own ways. I love how Miss Gressley used foreign characters, languages and places, even underwater – that it felt like I am watching a movie with multiple settings. The characters are all almost flesh and blood. They are described very well, from their looks, actions, until to their feelings. I specifically fell for Nicho, who worked as an escort to Darcey and later on fell for her – under Brad’s watchful eyes.

The way Miss Gressley wove suspense, intrigue, action, and romance all in one book is superbly done. I am sure you will be reading this book from start to finish in one sitting, and you will be asking for more!

RATING

I am happy to give Inescapable: The Beginning 5 out of 5 stars! If you want a real page-turner, remember to have this book on your hands the soonest you can 🙂
