Summary

USA Today Bestselling Author May McGoldrick writing as Jan Coffey
 
The Fourth Victim is a masterful blend of psychological horror and suspense, a tale that grips readers with its unsettling premise and refuses to let go. Set against the haunting legacy of a New Mexico cult, this story explores the inescapable ties of the past and the chilling cost of survival.
Three survivors of a harrowing cult have already fallen victim to a relentless killer. Now, only one remains. Kelly Stone, the final survivor, has built a quiet life far from her traumatic beginnings. But as the ghosts of her past resurface, so does the danger, drawing her into a terrifying confrontation with a predator determined to finish what was started decades ago.
With its atmospheric tension and relentless pacing, The Fourth Victim plunges readers into a world where fear is palpable and safety is an illusion. The claustrophobic dread of being hunted permeates every page, pulling readers into Kelly's desperate struggle to protect her daughter and herself.
What sets this novel apart is its deep emotional core. Kelly's journey is not just one of survival but also of reckoning—with her past, her identity, and her determination to fight back against a fate that seems inevitable. Her character is richly drawn, her vulnerability making her triumphs all the more powerful, while the antagonist is a chilling embodiment of unrelenting evil.
Perfect for fans of dark psychological horror with a human edge, The Fourth Victim delivers heart-pounding terror and poignant storytelling. It's not just a book—it's an unshakable experience, one that lingers long after the last page. This is a tale that will chill readers to their core and leave them hungry for more.
 "WOW this book was so hard to out down. You had me guessing who was involved and how!! Terrific read, and the plot just kept getting thicker every page."  ★★★★★

    I saw my death coming. 
    It was staring me in the face through the eyes of another witch, but I was wrong. It’s an easy mistake to make, that your enemies would be the cause. Death didn’t come from the front. It didn’t even come from behind. No, my death came from the person I kept beside me for so many years. My heart-keeper, my savior, my protector, my husband, my killer… 
    Summer may have been the villain, but her story is one of survival and betrayal. Captured as a witch, she’s “recruited” to fight against the technomancers as a secret weapon.
