See all formats and editions
Must the beautiful Julia Die? Of course she must; you wouldn't have it any other way.
Bestselling San Francisco novelist Jonathan Sova, struggling with a wicked case of writer’s block, joins his wealthy mother and his aunt at an enigmatic ocean-side resort on Northern California’s Lost Coast. There he meets the lovely Dr. Julia Desort; a woman who is not at all what she appears to be. A highly desired but ill-fated romance spins Jonathan and his family into a dangerous conflict, which leads him to find the love his life, while trying to survive the trial of his life.
In the end, he learns a lesson we all should heed: If you meet a monster one day, never lie with it—they take it personally.

About the Author

Stephen Bruce (Frybarger) was born in Oakland, Ca., and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He spent a quarter century as one of the battered links in the fabled Thin Blue Line. Today, he's a licensed California Private Investigator, who, when not inquiring, is reading or writing. Being lazy is his hobby. listening to jazz in his courtyard while sipping a preferred beverage, or gazing the long views off the north patio are his favorite being lazy tools. Unavoidable personal traits: He's big on civil rights, and hard on those who aren't. He believes in helping abandoned kittens and lost puppies, tiny birds or wayward gopher snakes, sometimes, even people, if they need him. He frowns on those who won't. He resides with his lovely, and fortunately for him, understanding wife, two cats and a bad-ass dog named Chunk, in the Northern California's foothills. He may be reached at Writeguy@outlook.com if anyone is interested. He believes everybody should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars KJ--Loved its Intrigue
Reviewed in the United States on 8 August 2017

"KJ – Killing Julia, A Love Story—What a wonderful surprise. This book exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The story line was intriguing and pulled me though the phases of its plot, drawing me from one to the next. The characters were well developed; I actually cared for them and worried about their possible outcomes as I read—even rooting for them. The book was easy to read and well balanced. The story was interesting—wanting me to push forward, it held back enough to keep the suspense consistently high while never giving away how the story would conclude. When it finished, I didn’t want the book to end, I was ready for more. I'll miss these characters. I hope this author writes another book."

Thought I wouldn't like this after reading the first few pages, but once into the story line which had some twists and turns, I quite enjoyed it.

'?' in the title... will this be a mystery, romance,thriller, si-fi adventure?
Answer is--all of the above. Stephen Bruce has created a story which seamlessly incorporates elements from each genre. The reader joins the protagonist, Jonathon Sova, a successful author, on his journey as he searches for answers to the unsettling events occurring around him. With a heart racing and ultimately satisfying conclusion, KJ-Killing Julia: A Love Story is a great first novel!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun romantic horror story.
Reviewed in the United States on 1 November 2017

Killing Julia is an appropriate title for this well developed story. Is it about killing Julia or about Julia doing the dirty deed, or maybe both? The author tells the story in a manner that keeps the reader anticipating what’s next, both with the romances that evolve and with the evil villain, one whom you probably wouldn’t want to meet, no matter how good she looked. The characters in the story are all likable, even Julia with her voracious appetite for your soul, your body, or plain old sex. I recommend this romantic horror story to any one looking for an easily read, fun, and intriguing book. Do it again Mr. Bruce.

Though I love reading, seldom to I take the time to offer a review. This book merits an exception. Is Stephen Bruce’s first novel …. “a love story”, yes; but now where or how you’d expect it. Well written and well thought out by the author with a very satisfying conclusion. Highly recommended! Brings new depth and meaning to the description “a controlling woman.” Read and enjoy, I did.
