review 1: Not bad for a short story. Interesting characters with a plot that keeps you reading the story until the end ... but then the author runs out of steam. I never appreciate a 'hero' who just refuses to take 'no' for an answer. She said 'no,' so he keeps kissing her to prove he knows better? I think we call that the beginnings of date rape. But this author has the previously independent social worker suddenly say, "Oh, you are right, I *do* want you!" What?! It doesn't make sense and gives the wrong message. There *is* chemistry between the two and they could end up together, but it's like the author reached her word limit and had to wrap it up quickly ... or maybe I'm giving her too much credit?
review 2: Even though this was short, I did get think it was ok. As... more others have said, it didn't have ample time to develop characters, but the author tried, and did good writing for the most part. I appreciate the author also trying to insert religious/christian refrences, but it didn't go over well. It was choppy and inconsistent. It would have been okay as a religious book, also as a straight out murder mystery, but it wasn't, it was meshed, which is even okay in a 200+ pages book, but it was 30 something, which didn't cut it. So overall, if you have a nook or a kindle (since it's free) then go ahead and see if you like the first couple pages, if you don't, fine. If you wanted to get a taste of the author's writing skills, you could also check it out, but don't get it for something substantial. It is a mildly entertaining book but it won't hold someone's intrest if they like horror, mystery, or even suspense. Everything in this book was predictable. I almost felt like the author put exerpts together and made a story. The story as a whole made sense, but didn't have flesh. Like in one instance the killer put a picture of the lady in the lady's car...but the whole point was to scare her, not to raise suspision, explain at the end, or add to the investigation. Don't read if you're cinical. But I enjoyed it to a point. It's not something to put on your "to-read" list but if you see it around your e-reader you should give it a wirl. less
