"I know I'm in the minority here but I just could not get into this book. I found there were too many characters dumped in all at once. The book opened with a graphic in-your-face scene. Then we go through pages and pages of various people, all with their backstories, all at once. I found there were too many characters with viewpoints. There was no one main character that stood out right away and too much information dumped on me that I didn't immediately need.
I also didn't like the way some of the females were portrayed. They seemed to have no backbone at all. One went weak-kneed every time this certain guy came around and he had been doing nothing but using her for sex for years. Yet she continued to fall for him. Another was in a bad, somewhat abusive marriage and needed a man to rescue her. Therefore she seeks that by risking stupid affairs rather than simply leaving the jerk.
When I read fiction, I need characters that I can really latch onto. This book simply didn't do that for me."
"This is the first book in the Cherokee Pointe Trilogy by Beverly Barton. It's not the first book I've read by Barton but it was fairly amazing. I loved the characters and the entire story line.
FBI Special Agent Dallas Sloan comes to the town of Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee; after connecting the murder of his niece and at least twenty other women in the various states surrounding Tennessee with a murder in the small town. After driving into a ditch, Sloan ends up at Genny Madoc's cabin. He is highly skeptical of Genny's "sixth sense". Genny doesn't give up hope that eventually Sloan will come to realize that she's not some crackpot, like every other person he's come in contact with claiming they have a sixth sense. They were put together by the necessity of finding the killer before someone becomes the fifth victim.
My favorite character was Genny Madoc, she was so unique. It seemed that the entire town of Cherokee Pointe liked her, despite the weirdness of her gift. FBI Agent Dallas Sloan was another of my favorites. There was great chemistry between those two.
I enjoy books like this because there's always a romantic spark that lightens up the whole murder plot. This book certainly didn't disappoint."
