Publisher Description

In this bare-knuckled adrenaline ride from New York Times bestselling author Erica Spindler, Alex Clarkson's worst nightmares are about to come true…

A sinister, hooded figure…

When Alexandra Clarkson starts having terrifying visions filled with blood and ceremonial images, she tries to find a rational explanation – maybe her mind is playing tricks on her, resurrecting creepy tableaux from her research on religious ceremonies and sects. But when Alex's mother, Patsy, commits suicide without leaving behind any information, Alex is left wondering: could she be haunted by something from the childhood she doesn't remember?

Naked, writhing bodies…

Detective Daniel Reed was the last person to speak to Patsy. What he reveals to Alex is shocking. Twenty-five years earlier, Patsy was married to Harlan Sommer, one of Sonoma County's most prominent vintners, when their infant son disappeared without a trace. The loss destroyed the Sommers' marriage, causing Patsy to leave and take Alex with her.

A dead child…

Called on to investigate the identity of a baby's remains unearthed in a Sonoma vineyard, Reed had picked up a trail that led him to Patsy in San Francisco. Now Reed and Alex both wonder if the cold bones could be her baby brother Dylan, and Alex decides to accompany Reed back to Sonoma for the investigation. No sooner does she arrive, however, than she is drawn deep into the search for a twisted killer…

"Blood Vines is an extremely intoxicating read. Alexandra Clarkson and Detective Danny Reed made this book more inticing with their hormones blazing. IThe characters of this book brought romance, lies, deception, and mystery with them. Set in the wine country of California, the people tried to hide their secrets and run off or murder anyone who got int he way of protecting them. This book kept you in suspense with the turn of every page. The plot was has a somewhat psychological twist wtih a spider web of deception and lies at every paragraph. This one keep me guessing on who really was behind all the murders and eerie attempts at getting rid of Alex. I found this book not only good, but was unable to set it down until I read it all the way through, then re read the book to make sure I didnt miss anything. In my own opinion I think this book is one of the best, but I am a huge fan and find it hard to say with one is the best. Erica is a talented writer that brings excitement with every book she writes. We need more authors like her, that can catch the audience with a dull moment. Her books are exciting from the first to the last page. Thanks Erica, your awesome."
