I love 2 series of books by this author: the "Ghost-In-Law" series and the "Miss Fortune" series. I gave both series 5 Stars. So, I decided to give this book a try. It's not very good. It does have an interesting premise. And, it starts off okay, but it starts to fall apart about 2/3 into it. Up to about this point, it feels like the author is in control of the story. Then, it's like a switch is flipped and every weird plot twist you can imagine is tossed into the mix willy nilly. It feels like the author is fighting to regain her focus and control of the story. Remember, when you were a kid, and you mixed colors together while you were painting or coloring? You'd mix some together, and they looked great. Then, you'd add that one color too many and you'd wind up with some barf-like greenish or brownish mess. This book is barf-like greenish/brownish. Also, one previous reviewer is correct. The main character is a, nearly, carbon copy of the "Eve Dallas" character by J.D. Robb.

Well written and loved the characters. Cant wait to read Shaynes discovery of her past. Kudos to Ms DeLeon. CB

Starts strong then turns into a tedious series of repetitive conversations related in stilted dialog. People don't talk like this. I gave up half way thru. Didn't care about the characters and found the plot convoluted.

The book held my attention till the last 50 to 70 pages. The end seemed rushed and not as well developed as the beginning and middle. So many false leads. Maybe they play a role in Shays life, which I guess will be addressed in a later book.

Nothing about the characters or plot was remotely believeable. No amount of money or love or thearapy will ever heal an abuse victim to the degree postulated in this absurd novel. No character, hero or villian was remotely real. Comic. Book

Amazing....I have read most of Jana DeLeon's books and have enjoyed them. Some a little silly and some downright laugh out loud. Great cozy mysteries. However, there is nothing cozy about this series. I could not put it down. Very intense, beautifully written and I would recommend this series to anyone. Well Done!

Love the quick pace of the storyline. Great female characters. A bit wordy trying to tie up all the loose ends at the conclusion. Great first book of this type, want to see how the lead character develops in next book.

This story kept me in suspense from the very beginning. The writer really knew how to keep the reader guessing. I had several hours of nail bitting
reading and I would encourage anyone who enjoys a good mystery to read this book.

This is a good read. The characters work well together. Just when you think they are on the right path, here comes another twist. The ending took me totally by surprise. I highly recommend.

Enjoyed this one trying to get ahead and stay there was difficult. Thrilling who done it and the why is even harder to come up with.
|
|
Does the basic premise seem to anybody else to suggest Eve Dallas from JD Robb's books?
|
|
A lot darker than I would normally read but still a good book. Will probably order Sinister but not for a few weeks. Need to read something funny first. I still really like Jana DeLong ' s writing. Great author.
