One Scream Away is the book equivalent of a CBS crime drama: barely dangerous, slightly obscene, with an expected level of crazy for the villain and a suitable amount of romance to balance the ugliness. The book is edgy only to the level that is appropriate, which, of course, is the point. It skirts the line of being nice.
The plot is simple: after surviving an attack seven years earlier, Beth Denison is stalked by her attacker, now a serial killer.
