"this was the book that i read in 20 minute increments as i soaked in our bain ultra, finishing it on dry land. there are actually two authors, one being nancy bush who is lisa jackson's sister, and an author in her own write--ho, ho. it has an interesting plot--could the murderer be one of the group of friends from high school years ago? Perhaps too many of the group end up dead? it's a decent read, and at 474 pages, not a lightweight."
"Lisa Jackson has a couple of books based around St. Elizabeth High School. The characters overlap and it is very intriguing. If you like a mystery linked with romance you will enjoy this book."
"Although the story was mostly interesting and suspensful, the ending where the antoganist is introduced and his motives (somewhat )explained, was just stupid, implausible,and ridiculous."
"Technically this book achieved all I could want from a new book: a heroine I liked and saw emotional growth in, a hunky good guy for the hero, a storyline quite different than what I've read lately, more than one plot twist and chills and thrills galore. Ms. Jackson & Ms. Bush (this book was written with her sister) added a strong secondary character line with McNalley the detective and his iffy partner Gretchen. And finally, they left the door open for more of the same in future books.
I must also complement the authors on their ability to seamlessly combine their talents and words; there was not one paragraph that felt wrong due to their combined voice.
That said, I didn't get invested in this book. I was able to put it down easily, even during the grande finale. I was chilled by the words but didn't feel scared. I was always a bystander and not an active participant, something a really good story and a really good author can induce. I will continue to "read" Ms. Jackson's books, and hope to "fall in love" with one of them. That's what I read books for, after all."
