This was my first Lisa Jackson book and I really enjoyed it. It was fast moving, had a good plot and I connected with the characters. What I found most frightening is that a nut job, serial killer is walking among the public and no one is the wiser. There are actually two different stories going on surrounding the brutal killings and parts of the story are told from inside the mind of the killer. A little romance mixed with suspense is always fun and in this case dangerous. At the end of the boo...
The woman's body is found lashed to a tree, naked, and frozen to death. The calling card for this scene is the same, yet different as the others. The letters carved into the tree above the victim are the same as the others but with the addition of this victims initials added. The star is still carved into the cold bark, but at a slightly different location. Her wrecked car has also been discovered, the tire shot out and all identifying items removed from the vehicle. The killer has struck again....
It was good. Kind of slow in the middle and you have to read the next book to figure out who done it. That pissed me off. But the good parts were really good. I'm not reading the next one to find out the ending. :/
Okay, this book ticked me off. I did not appreciate having it end on a cliff hanger. I do not have the next book in my possession and will have to look for it. I strongly resent such manipulation by the author and was tempted to rate the book lower because of it.But I did like it, for the most part, till I realized that it was not going to be resolved until the sequel. Although once I reached the so-called end, I found that the story involving Jillian Rivers was maybe just a little too hard to b...
I enjoyed this as a start to a series and liked that Jackson has one of her main characters, Pescoli, dealing with the challenges of being a single mother with a demanding job and facing the hypocrisy of being judged for having a sex life by her male counterparts when she'd be given a slap on the back with a wink if she were a man. The story does feel like something written in 2008 with statement's like "at least it's not rap" from Pescoli when she's complaining that her son has his music blasti...
I'm normally a pretty big fan of Lisa Jackson but I have to say her last two books,this one and Lost Souls did not thrill me. The idea for this book is great but it really goes nowhere. Yes one mystery is solved but it leaves the main story of the book unresolved,supposedly to be finished in Chosen To Die which doesn't come out for a year. Basically this book is nothing more than an almost 500 page build up to that book. Overall it was ok but definately not one of her best.
This book had a lot going on...some good ... some overload.There are actually multiple points of view and this aspect gets busy. The two lead detectives are Pescoli and Alvarez. You just get hints about Alvarez but you get overload of Pescoli's messed up life. For me, her life became a distraction to the serial plot. I found her very irritating and wishing for more from Alvarez or the FBI agents.The serial killer is in 1st POV present tense which is a writing style that I personally don't enjoy
This was a pretty good start to a series. The formula this author used still plays on. A redhead, family tangles, divorce, half siblings, reclaim pets that come with property, make victims not sexually abused but killers who get off nonetheless. No overt religious themes, but close enough. SPOILERS AHEAD The book starts off way too slow. So many POVs and the narrator doesn’t help. Half the time I was surprised to realize we shifted POV as little to no voice inflection is used to differentiate ch...
Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars but rounded it up to 4 stars on Goodreads.So here's the thing. When one is on a boat for 9 days and realize that the Kindle/Nook gods have forsaken you and you realize that your boat has a library (oh yeah baby) you grab a book that looks interesting. I finished and started this book all on the same day and really enjoyed it, though I had some problems with having a third lead (really not necessary and also confusing) the pacing, and also with the clif...
