Must-see book trailers: 'Game of Fear,' 'Twelve,' 'A Family Name'

Friends,

While the kids are back in school, the weather doesn't realize that summer is over. Just in time, the last day of the pool being open, the temperatures soared and the skies were clear and blue. I was also feeling decadent so I marathoned every Josh Lanyon book on audio. It was the best book hangover ever ...

There a few people who write a more gripping and exciting romantic suspense story than Robin Perini, and her trailer for Game of Fear showcases with perfection. This video has a gripping, cinematic soundtrack that ratchets up the intrigue with every note. The images are high-tech, glossy and dynamic, highlighting the adventure and action of the story. I really love this trailer!

Oh yeah. That was the first thing I thought when I first clicked on the link to the trailer for T.M. Franklin's Twelve. The blacked-out screen with the sounds of distress and a running girl is riveting. It only got better from there with the graphics, the music and the soundtrack. It oozes suspense and danger every second. Really, really great.

The video for A Family Name by Liz Botts is supremely sweet. The images of the big open skies of the West and the original acoustic musical score perfectly complement the story of two lonely people and three needy children who make a family. As a whole, it says romance and family and love.
