The DSM. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. A voluminous, invaluable tool used by psychotherapists the world over to diagnose individuals with mental illness. Referenced by Samantha Clark countless times throughout her career, never suspecting that one day it would save her life.

Samantha receives a seemingly innocent but anonymous letter, and overnight her world changes forever. She becomes a victim in a frightening game of cat-and-mouse, a nightmare that begins when her boyfriend, Todd, fails to return to the wellness retreat they own in the woods of Florida. Working closely with police, Samantha and two trusted friends discover that Todd’s disappearance is linked to a series of murders occurring in a nearby county. They soon find themselves prey to a mentally ill patient from Samantha’s past, bent on revenge. With time bearing down, they must weave together the clues found in a succession of ominous letters and the DSM to save Todd. Their mission to unravel the mystery behind the kidnapping plunges them into a terrifying maze of danger, deception, and madness.

My Thoughts:
This book is awesome!! The Fear of Things to Come had me riveted from start to finish. Samantha Clark is the co-owner, along with Todd, of a holistic retreat in the woods of Florida, an ideal setting with trusted and loved employees and friends until a disturbed man enters their lives. A man, Donnie, who feels that Samantha is to blame for him having to spend longer in prison and he kidnaps Todd to lure Samantha in. He sends letters to Sam expressing his feelings. Once these letters have been turned over to the police, the search for Todd is escalated as they realize that time is against them in their search for Todd. 

Donnie is a sick twisted individual who enlists two teenagers, Mick and his friend Jeremy, in his campaign of violence against Samantha and all she holds dear. I found this story to be scary to say the least. I loved it!! Written in such a way that the reader feels the emotions that the characters feel as their lives are in peril by a maniac. I highly recommend this book!
