The title through me off for a minute but Ms. Dennis writes a taut and suspenseful thriller.Early on you knew Mia thought she had a stalker but the kidnapping happened so fast. Good character explanations and development. Along with wondering when and how she would get away, the setting and the torture was torture. The reader felt like they were there in that.......... Wonderful thriller. I enjoyed it. It was a rollacoaster ride. I want all my sistahs in my bookclub, In the Company of My Sistahs to read the book.
On the edge of my seat...for real!

Parker truly has issues. I was hooked on this crazy villain from the beginning. Every spare moment I had to read this book...I did! I managed to read it in 2-days. I like the way Ms. Dennis draws you into every scene. For a moment I felt like I was the one being tortured by Parker.And of course, Edward, Mia's husband is a delicious fantasy!I hope there's a sequel or at least another book with Edward in it! In the meantime, perhaps I can read it again...
Review for Who will hear my scream
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book was not only exciting and captivating,it also helped me to pay more attention to what goes on around me. No one could tell me how fatal attractions don't exist. The relationships we allow in our lives either produce growth and appreciation or stifle and suffocate us. Here we have a couple of things going at the same time and due to lack of communication more problems arose than neccessary. Thank you Anna for not only raising our conscience level, thank you for showing us the things we take for granted. Much success and happiness to you and yours. God Bless You.

This book has a great premise and excellent writing. I was intrigued by the villain, Parker McKinley and the depths he went to get what he wanted.However, I was more intrigued by the relationship between Mia (the protaganist) and Edward Simone. Their relationship proves that true love can withstand anything.I eagerly look forward to Anna Dennis' next book. If you're looking for good writing, a good story and an easy read...this is one-stop shopping.
Intriguing Premise, Great Writing

Mia and Edward Simone are happily married. Mia has managed to live out her dream of becoming a successful author and her book, A State of Mind, has catapulted her to the top of her game. She loves the attention given to her by fans and while a little bit concerned about the same man showing up at various booksignings throughout the country, she mentions it to her best friend in passing and then dismisses it. That is, until the unthinkable happens. Parker is an extremely sick man, having been abused as a child, diagnosed as mentally unstable, and prescribed medication to help him deal with his loose grip on reality. However, the medicine is not working and Parker decides to kidnap Mia, his favorite author, so that he can act out scenes from her book with her. After he abducts Mia, he calls her by the name of Val, the main character from her book, and tortures her with cigarettes whenever she disobeys him or speaks to him in a degrading fashion.While Mia is struggling to regain her freedom, Edward is being comforted by Lynda, Mia's best friend. After less than a week of disappearance, Edward practically succumbs to Lynda's seduction, which leads the reader to ponder the credibility of his love for his wife. Once Mia's ordeal ends in tragedy, she is reunited with her husband and things get back to normal. Anna Dennis has a wonderful writing style. I would have liked for the kidnapping sequence to last longer since I felt that was the main premise of the book. However, the steamy bedroom scenes and obvious gift for dialogue and storytelling make up for it. It is a quick read, 183 pages in mass market, and worth devoting a weekend afternoon flipping the pages.I give this book a 4 on the RAW Scale.Reviewed by Zane
