Sheryll O'Brien outdid herself with this twisted plot—twisted characters—twisted threads suspense thriller. I hated the characters I should have loved and loved the ones I should have hated. I couldn't put her book down, and I couldn't stop checking around corners!
Phenomenally written from the evil-doers to the heroes. Her keen insight into the victim-assistance side only added depth to the heart-pounding drama of a serial rapist pouncing on his next prey and the suspense of law enforcement rushing to undo REDO's pattern of crime and catch their man.

Her Scream is twisted and freaky in a really compelling way. The subject matter is difficult, and there is fallout, but the author showed great sensitivity to the survivors. I learned so much about medical care and counseling sessions and it was really important and written really well. The detectives drive the story, but there's romance and some laughs too. Long lasting friendships are tested, new ones become really important, and some come around again. I loved how the region worked together to find out who REDO is. The book has lots of pages and everyone is worth reading. Get it, you won't be disappointed!

WOW! I read this book in one sitting, I was behind my locked bedroom door at the time, but whatever. Her Scream is a page turner, full of heart pounding, breath stealing sections. The rest is all about the characters. There’s romance, and friendships, but there’s mostly deceit and intrigue. Really good storytelling, and lots of detective work. I loved it!

There is a stalker after Kitt, so there’s definitely a creep factor, but there are lots of laughs too. The characters are great and the relationships are fun. Each one of them has a quirk or a smirk. I just love them all. Except the stalker.

I fell in love with Mayflower-Laurel Falls and all of the characters who live there. The women are smart and witty, and I felt like I knew them from the minute I met them. And the men, who wouldn’t want to meet them? This is a fast, easy read with lots of twists and turns and a bad guy that you will just love to hate. Get it, you will absolutely love it!!!

I enjoyed reading all of these books. The characters are well written and one grows to like each that one is intended to like and to dislike those who are not so likable. The situations in which the characters are placed are believable and well put together within the books, one's interest is maintained throughout. The stories are tied together very well. The author has put it all together well.

Sheryll O’Brien is a true storyteller. Bullet Bungalow, Netti Barn, and Cutters Cove are wonderful reads. They are full of twists and turns that keep your heart racing and your mind questioning. Her characters come alive the minute they are introduced, and some are so appealing that you’ll want them to come alive. Trust me! Sheryll has written captivating stories in a style reminiscent of Patterson, and with a flare that is recognizably her own. ~ Marjorie McCarthy
“I want to share how proud I am of my daughter, Sheryll. I know her as a wife to Tim, a mother to Hannah and Jessica, a grandmother to Hadley, and friend to many. I also know that she has always wanted to write, “maybe, one day”. After many challenges, that day is here for my Sheryll. I know this is a mother’s testimonial, but if you read one of her novellas, you will be captivated, right from the beginning. Her characters will draw you into their lives, and make you wish they were your friends. I get to read her stories before anyone else, and can tell you that every one of them is full of surprises. I am twenty stories in and I can’t believe where the characters have taken me. This avid reader predicts that Sheryll O’Brien will become your favorite author. She’s mine.” ~ Ruth Bodreau
“I am one of the lucky ones! I get to read these stories as they are getting ready for publication, so I know how awesome this series is. The journey starts in a quiet seaside town and explodes into chaos, challenges, and suspense. The characters draw you in immediately. You will worry, laugh, hope, and love right along with them. Don’t get too comfortable or fall too deeply in love with any one because there is a really good chance they aren’t who you think they are. Pulling Threads stories are full of heartache, intrigue, happiness, love, and drama, drama, drama. Make sure you’ve got the time because you will get sucked in and taken on a trip of their lives, and yours.”
~ Donna Eaton
“YOU—Sheryll O'Brien, write HOT sex scenes! … whether heart-wrenching confessions, ethereal spiritual experiences, shameful painful secrets, or spicy sex scenes--any writer who has the courage to dig deep and write vulnerably and truthfully tells the very things that others are thinking and don't have the courage to say. When we write bravely, we put words to thoughts others can't find; we identify emotions and motives and wild sides others want to express, but do not. THIS is the best writing. So Sheryll O'Brien, you are ON POINT. Don't hold back.”
~ Andria Flores
“A friend first told me about Sheryll O'Brien's books, she said, ‘They are a fun read, I think you will enjoy them’. So I decided to dive in and give them a try. Before I was an hour in I was hooked. There are certain things that are extremely important to me in any story; character development, story development, and believable dialog that doesn't become tedious. It is not common to find a writer who is adept at all three, but Sheryll is a master of it all! I found myself falling in love with her characters, their banter, and their lives. I would become lost in the story and oblivious to what may be going on around me. By the time I finished the first book I knew her characters so well I felt I had a new group of friends. Trust me when I say, One book will set the hook!”
