Lessons From An Evil Mind Horror Novel By Shawna Lynn
Shawna Lynn Offers a Thrilling Story of Survival and Overcoming the Odds in Her Novel Lessons from an Evil Mind. A Woman Goes Through Hell and Back Only To Emerge Victorious Over The Evil That Has Haunted Her
Author Shawna Lynn brings readers a stark, spine-tingling, and exciting tale about overcoming evil and survival in her debut novel Lessons from an Evil Mind, a book published and available through Xlibris.
Terror can move people, virtually helpless, into doing what seems to be the impossible. A woman is held captive by an evil man; she is held against her will, abused and beaten to submission, and almost devoid of all hope. That is, until luck turns her way and she escapes, stumbling into the arms of a stranger who saves her and takes her to safety. After her escape, her captor goes to new lengths to try and get her back. He is angry and out for revenge; returning and forcing his way back into her life, wreaking havoc as he does so.
Shawna Lynn takes readers on a ride filled with the stark realism of abuse, hope, and survival. It is a story that tells us that there is good in the world, and that the human spirit, despite its many set backs, might triumph in the end.
"Spine tingling, gruesome, terrifying, enthralling read for the voyeuristic mind"
"I got goose pimples"
"Absolutely bloody brilliant. You know how to write of fear, which seems straightforward till you come to do it. Lue naturally gets our sympathy immediately and keeps it."
"This is a powerful narrative that explodes off the page at the reader"

Amazon Book Review:
Lessons from and Evil Mind was passed along to me as a suggested read. Although I love fantasy and science fiction books, horror fantasy isn't really one of my favorite genres. I begin reading this tale and found it difficult, sometimes impossible to turn away from it. It's disturbing! It's evil! But you find yourself engrossed and bound by the thing that will next happen to this tortured women, this poor, lost soul.
Writing in "first person," I hear is one of the most difficult styles there is, but the author does an admirable job in her first novel. Pick up a copy and be ready for a frightfully gruesome and bumpy ride!
