Metropolitan Police Detective Jack Hallihan is trying to stop a serial rapist.  In each case, multiple witnesses are present but no one can remember a thing about the attacks.  Attorney Larsen Vale narrowly escapes death at the hands of the rapist when her visions of death return after being dormant since her childhood.  She is terrified to tell Jack about her vision of the albino rapist, but Jack has his own secret as he fears he is succumbing to madness from the unintelligible voices in his head.  Will Jack and Lauren learn to trust one another in time to stop evil from overtaking the world?

Do not start this book just before bedtime or you are guaranteed to miss out on sleep!  I made this “mistake” and could not put THE DARK GATE down.  I kept telling myself, “just one more chapter”, as I turned page after page.  Pamela Palmer’s suspenseful paranormal tale is phenomenal! 

THE DARK GATE truly epitomizes what the Silhouette Nocturne line is all about.  The romance aspect is strong but the darker elements of this paranormal tale are where the writing talent of Pamela Palmer really shines! Her unusual twist to the story makes this a superb addition to any paranormal lover’s keeper shelf.  The story behind the albino man is quite fascinating, and the reactions of Larsen and Jack are very believable as they cope with each new revelation in this enthralling tale. 

THE DARK GATE provides readers with a refreshingly unique paranormal tale chock full of suspense.  Pamela Palmer is a new author to me but I can guarantee I will pick up her next book after reading this one!  Easily recommended!
