Book Review By Jennifer Shaw
See Jane Die by Erica Spindler

As a young teen, Jane Killian had endured a brutal - and seemingly intentional - accident. Now an adult, she seems to be living a charmed life. She is a successful artist and happily married to a dashing surgeon. The couple is thrilled by the fact that Jane is pregnant.
But lately, Jane has been having recurring nightmares about her girlhood trauma.
When Jane's husband is arrested on murder charges, her life is thrown into turmoil - and danger. Because somebody is watching her; a tormentor who begins by sending her threatening messages.
