It is fast-paced and kept me guessing and turning pages. Even when we knew more than the investigators, we still didn't know how things would turn out. This book gives an inside look at what goes through the heads of the guys going in and disarming bombs. I am looking forward to continuing the series. ...more

The problem is that the writing seemed This book has a ton of drama and plenty of twists. There is cheating, people dying, and a cliff hanger ending. The problem is that the writing seemed so distant to me. I felt no connection to the characters. Lila is hard to like. She comes off as selfish and immature and I couldn't understand why she made the decisions that she did. I felt absolutely no empathy for her. I felt that it could have been better. But if you like lots of soap opera-like drama, you might like this. ...more

As fast-paced and action-filled as the first. HP is hiding from The Game, but still sees them everywhere. He's afraid, yet still misses it. Again, altAs fast-paced and action-filled as the first. HP is hiding from The Game, but still sees them everywhere. He's afraid, yet still misses it. Again, alternates POV with Rebecca who is having some troubles of her own. Where their stories cross is again very unexpected. The whole story keeps you guessing. Unclear what is The Game and what is not. There are still plenty of questions to be cleared up and I look forward to the third and final installment....more

The incident with Chris wraps up faster than I expected, but then we get back to taking down the bad guys. There is more hacking and undercover work for Raina, who is determined to take down the Ghost. I love how Raina changes throughout the trilogy, and Kas has to adapt to those changes. He adores those changes. Raina and Kas are just such a great couple. This was a great ending to the trilogy....more

With all the secrets and betrayals, I had no clue what would happen or how things would turn out. It could have easily gone a few different ways, though I had my hunches. There were just enough hints and information that I had to keep reading because I wanted to know more. Serious subjects, yet a fun read. An excellent book and one I highly recommend. ...more

Gustav's brother Pierre is around now and This is the second book in the Unbreakable trilogy and picks up soon after The Silver Chain, which I loved. Gustav's brother Pierre is around now and they are trying to put the past behind them. Serena is getting photo commissions and explores her more adventurous side. This one seemed more erotica than erotic romance and was a bit out of my comfort zone. Certain parts seemed gratuitous at first. However, as I read on I realized that it is important to Serena and Gustav's relationship to explore boundaries and trust. They have a very intense, unique relationship and I can't seem to look away. A new mystery at the end leaves me anxious for the third and final book. ...more

Rayvin returns to her hometown ten years after being driven away only to discover that a vampire is on the loose. As a witch she has no choice but to Rayvin returns to her hometown ten years after being driven away only to discover that a vampire is on the loose. As a witch she has no choice but to try to stop it. Of course the first person she meets when she comes back to town is her high school crush, Grant, who thinks she tried to murder his best friend. I liked Ravyn and Grant. There is romance and magic and vampires. This is the first of a trilogy and nothing is resolved. It takes a dark turn at the end and I'm not sure I can handle it. I know I will check out the next book anyway....more
A reverend who is a regular protester outside the local women's clinic is one day shot dead. Darla Cavannah is on the case. There are plenty of twistsA reverend who is a regular protester outside the local women's clinic is one day shot dead. Darla Cavannah is on the case. There are plenty of twists and lots of suspense, even a bit of humor. I thought this was well-written and held my attention right until the end. The romance was a little flat for me, but it's not a romance so I wasn't too worried about it. The ending took me by surprise, but made complete sense. Just right for a good mystery. And Darla was tough with a dry sense of humor that I enjoyed. Very readable....more
Sorry, that person's shelf is private.
