Publisher Description
Michael Kimball's work has received international acclaim from critics and authors including Stephen King, who says Kimball writes "the sort of book you think about during the day and can't wait to settle back into at night." In Mouth to Mouth, Kimball spins a terrifying tale of retribution, set in an idyllic, sheep-dotted countryside. As Ellen Chambers' marriage falls apart, her nephew Neil walks back into her life. Instead of the boy she knew 12 years ago, he is now a handsome young man. Soon, he has offered to rebuild her barn in exchange for lodging. But his offer of help and friendship is part of a larger plan that will leave a trail of deception and murder in its wake. As the barn takes shape, Ellen watches her life and her world change under the spell of forces she no longer knows how to name or control. Narrator George Guidall's performance highlights the mounting suspense in this gripping page-turner that will haunt you long after the last sentence.

"If I had to summarize this book in a word, I'd say taut. And unnerving. People swirling around each other with malintent, bad things happening, and sexual tension yanking it all together. As with Mike's other books, Maine is a living, breathing character here."

Quotes
-
“Fascinating…the action really dazzles.”
— St. Petersburg Times -
“The tension is palpable…an interesting and twisted plot.”
— Cleveland Plain Dealer -
“Intelligently crafted plot twists come at top speed, revealing interlocking family secrets, deaths to be avenged, hidden patterns to be discovered. The denouement is one gripping cliffhanger after another, a chilling melange of vengeance and obsession that will keep readers glued to the page.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Kimball hits the mark with this high-wire revengers tragedy: a pitilessly intelligent examination of a family tortured by mistakes, misunderstandings, and malicious vengeance from the invigorating opening to the catastrophic finale.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“A dark, nasty story with a serpentine plot…and a stunning finale. Highly recommended, but not as bedtime reading.”
— Booklist -
“The story and characters are compelling and believable.”
— Library Journal

" This just wasn't my type of book "
— Siobhan, 5/24/2013 -
" No, no, no! A man writing from a woman's POV? A difficult trick to pull off, and Kimball failed to manage it. Plus his main characters weren't particularly likeable, his villains weren't menacing enough and the plot just plodded. Disappointing. "

" I find this book so destructive, so i will not recommend this book to any of my friends to read.if u are a hopeless romantic and u have so much respect in family affairs, don't read this book.Anyway our opinion differs, so its up to u if want to read it or not. "

" This author does a great job of creating a rather sickening feeling throughout. You simply know evil is present and that events will collide in a cataclysmic finale. One particularly erotic seen, but otherwise just steady suspenseful tension. "

" I thought this was a good book "
