Description:
Egesa Springs is a quiet, picturesque town nestled deep
in a valley along the
Pennsylvania
mountains, but everything changes when the sun goes down.
Children disappear and adults vanish or die in mysterious
accidents.
Cierra Lancing believes she knows the secrets buried
in Egesa Springs. Two years ago, Cierra’s husband attacked her and left
her for dead. Now, healed from her nearly fatal wounds she returns to the
town with a new name, face, and a plan.
Unwilling to trust anyone other than herself, she’s determined to
find the children she was taken from and protect her youngest daughter
from the doom the town has planned for her.
What Cierra doesn’t expect to find is love with the man
who has watched over her children while she was gone, but does she dare
trust Tristen Durant?
Neither of them realizes the evil hiding beneath the
town or the mysteries living within the mansion inn.
With the help of an 1827 murder victim, Cierra discovers there are
many dangerous secrets, but can she overcome a curse placed on the town
over a hundred and fifty years before in time to save her children and
herself?

Reviews:
“GONE BEFORE DAWN is a thriller you won't be able
to put down, so don't make the mistake of starting to read it when your
time is limited. It has strong elements of horror, but McMullen uses
plot twists and surprises to create most of the tale's escalating tension.
She doesn't need graphic, gory descriptions to make her readers perceive
and fear the depravity that haunts Egesa Springs. No cardboard characters
or "stock footage" scenes in this one. You'll be scared
out of your wits, and you will love every second of it!”
~ Nina M. Osier, author of "Love, Jimmy:
A Maine Veterans Longest Battle"
“GONE BEFORE DAWN immediately holds your attention,
spellbinding from the first page. Suffice to say, the feelings of the love
of this mother will cause the tears to flow. A super read story for all. Ms.
McMullen has an excellent talent for spinning an exciting story. I look
forward to reading more of her work.” ~ Bobby
Ruble, award-winning author
