Started off so good. When the killers started making mannequin models of his victims by first shaving their heads and filing their teeth, I just couldn't take it. Ridiculous.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book with the usual format for LJ. I have already ordered book #2 in series. If you are a fan, then this book is for you. 4 stars
Great story but long winded delivery
A fun Women of Mystery book of the month group read. Fast, tight, good characters. And excellent company reading this one with Bets and the rest of WoM.
This book was a bit too repetitive. The author drilled into us the same bits of backstory and same descriptions over and over. I also felt that it took her forever to get to the point. Really what kept me reading was that I wanted to know who the creepy bad guy was and be done. The end of this book sets us up for another book, Fatal Burn, and though I am curious to know what happened and how it's linked to this story, I am not sure if I could suffer through it if it's as repetitive as this one w...
I really wanted to like this book. My little local library has a ton of Jacksons, and I was hoping I'd enjoy this enough to go delving into her backlist. Sadly, it disappointed. Overall, it felt like there were too many threads for the story Jackson was trying to weave, and many were left loose. Many more didn't seem to make any sense in terms if the rest of the story, and there were plot points relating to the main story, conversations the main characters really needed to have which were just.....
Really liked this one! This is a serial killer mystery involving a former Hollywood actress, Jenna Hughes, who has moved to Oregon. The deep freeze is causing its complications, accompanied by complications of a psychopath that has an obsession with the actress. There are so many possible suspects and the usual good looking sheriff. I enjoyed this from start to finish.
Why do I buy books in the grocery store? Are there little voices that tell me to, little whispers of hope, promising a diamond in the rough? Am I tempting myself with the smell of paper just by walking past the wire racks, going starry-eyed like some anime otaku just to gaze at all the pretty covers? Well, it doesn't always work out for me. Good use of the Northwest setting as character, very atmospheric and consistently well-textured. Great suspense. The rest was nasty and flat and not for me.
Jesus holy god this book was painful to read. I don't know what I really expected, and it's my own fault for not being able to quit reading a book once I've started, no matter how awful the writing. It came with a high recommendation. I think I shall ignore further recommendations from this person haha. The story idea is good. Stalker that is making mannequinns out of live people as a shrine to an actress he's obsessed with. It could have been so interesting had it been better played. Like, in t...
This suspense thriller had me absolutely sitting on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. If you love suspense thrillers, this is one book that you need to read!
This book should have had "Damned" in the title because of the 500+ times the word "damned" was used in spoken or internal dialogue throughout this book. I even started groaning out loud each time I came across "damned." Use a different word once in a while maybe. Also, I never hear anyone say it in normal conversation EVER. Also, how many times do we need to describe that "so-and-so leaned a hip against the desk","leaned a hip against the counter." There was way too much description of unimport...
I've never read a Lisa Jackson novel before this. I sometimes shy away from the million seller type books. I only decided to read this particular one because I won book 2 in a Goodreads giveaway. Yes, I wasn't paying close attention when I entered. So I decided to find the first in the series so I could give the second an honest chance in its review. So back to this book-- it was enjoyable even though it followed the suspense/ thriller formula popular in the afore mentioned million sales type bo...
Good storyline but it dragged on...used the same phrases again and again -- got on my nerves.
