Publisher's summary

For more than two years, he held Seattle in a terror grip. A cold-blooded killer who abducted young mothers right in front of their sons and murdered them execution style. Then, as suddenly as the killings began, they seemed to stop.

Susan Blanchette is looking forward to a relaxing weekend getaway with her fiance, Allen, and young son, Matthew. But something about the remote lake house doesn't feel right. A woman vanished from the area a year ago, and now Susan thinks she's spotted someone lurking around the property. And when Allen disappears, her fear grows....

A psychopath has returned, ready to strike again. Someone who can't resist the urge to kill, who derives pleasure from others' pain, and who is drawing nearer to Susan as each minute of the weekend ticks by. But she's just one pawn at the heart of a killer's deadly game. A killer who is unrelenting, unstoppable, and absolutely vicious....

Another great story

I got so involved in this one that I couldn’t walk away from it! Finished within 24 hours, you kept me guessing that’s for sure. Great way to wrap it up at the end.

Intriguing and exciting

I loved this novel with all the twists and turns. The characters each had their own uniquely different history that intertwined with the plot. Kudos to Kevin O’Brian for writing another thrilling novel.

Worth the read

Fast pace. Twist and turns. Couldn’t stop listening. Voice for the teenage girl was a little annoying. Overall worth the read.

Great listen!

I loved the storyline and the narration was great too! The twists and turns were unexpected. The book was captivating that it kept me glued to the book. I could not stop listening. I highly recommend any of Kevin O’Brien’s books.

Will keep you on the edge of your seat

I loved this book from the get go. It is a tough subject matter, but the characters are brought to life by the great narration and of course the story itself. I found myself at times, holding my breath and waiting for the shoe to drop, so to speak. I don’t write reviews very often, but I absolutely loved this book. I’ve said that twice now, so I really must!!! I can’t wait to read more by this author

Wow! Wow! Wow!

I’ve had a string of books that were very disappointing. So when I read the reviews for Vicious, I was hopeful. Well, let me tell you, this book grabbed me in the first few paragraphs and never, never let go. I usually only listen to my books during my one hour commute to and from work. With this book I listened before, during, and after work! I could not stop. Started it Thursday morning and it’s Saturday afternoon and I’m finished! I love a good suspense/thriller and this is one of the best I’ve read. Great story, great narrator. I highly recommend Viscous. Now, let me check out other Kevin O’Brien books!
