review 1: I will start by saying this is not my kind of book. It took me several days to get through this. I finished it this morning and I'm already wondering, "What was this about again?" I did the audio on this and I can't blame the reader, because it was read well. I will even say the story was good. It had good suspense, too. So, I knew I would finish it...eventually.First off, there seemed to be so many people in it. So I found myself hitting the rewind button to re-listen so I could learn who all these people were. A fair amount of them had such minor roles, they could have been eliminated and the story would not have suffered.There also seemed to be a lot of back story introduced every time something needed more explanation. I had to rewind a lot because of that as w... moreell. For me, it felt super manipulated, because there was an explanation for everything.The female mc did not have a consistent presence. She wobbled a lot between what the author was telling us who she was (ie: a tough FBI wannabe), to being a weak victim of a past crime. Survivors of traumatic experiences usually don't whip out a fine tooth comb to go over it every second of every day.The romance was fantasy fiction. It caused excessive eye rolling and there was a simpering part that almost activated my gag reflex. I am not a fan of the mix of genre's here. Lastly, the men seemed a little whiny. But maybe it was how the reader read the lines. I don't know. I just know it didn't feel right.
review 2: I had to quit on this one. I was listening to the audio version, so the irritants were even more noticeable. Too many people with obvious backstories I didn't know, as this was the first of her books I've tried. The interminable internal dialogues. Characters (including the bad guys) seemed to be constantly pausing in the middle of a scene to analyze their feelings/motivations/history/possible actions while other characters often hung out in limbo waiting for them to finish and the character to actually speak or do something. Mary Janes. Everyone was too wonderful. "I create magical databases to find criminals." "My boyfriend is a master hacker and can get in anywhere." "My friend is the best profiler known to man." "My brother is a genius." Extra words. Why use one, when you can use a whole bunch?! "He pulled out the lime green metal folding chair with the paint chipped off the lower left leg that had been at the desk across the room where Agent X was sitting earlier in the day before he left to solve crimes and brought it back across the room to the desk where [she] had been sitting dejectedly despondent with her head in her hands and her long dark hair falling over her shoulders to trail down her long luscious legs which he found incredible attractive and arousing though he should not right now because other important and bad things were happening and her brother might not like it but he is a grown man with his own branch of the company that he runs but never actually appears to work at and she is a grown woman and it should not matter that her brother might not like it and though he has never found anyone like her remotely attractive before that is probably because he had not met her and he did not want to grow up which is why he usually dated airheads but now that he was spending more time with [her] due to the 3 currently unconnected horrible things that were happening to her he kind of liked her now more than he had liked those other women who only wanted to do fun things like ride in his car that he liked to drive very fast when he wasn't flying them somewhere in his personal plane that he pilots he thought as he placed the metal chair next to where she was sitting in great internal pain at her desk in the brown leather chair that usually molded to her body but not when she was stiff with pain as she was now making sure the bent leg of the green metal chair did not accidentally bump her as he settled the chair in position, lowered his well shaped posterior, in such great shape due to the fact that he worked out a lot, into the chair and then he moved her hair away from her ear and said..."instead of "He sat down beside her and said..."There are people who enjoy this style of writing - if you do, please give it a try. AFAIK her books sell just fine, and kudos to the author for developing a following with a nice connected series of books. If you prefer a faster pace with tighter writing, you might want to give this one a pass. less
