Thrillers
Review:Frankly, this novel suffered many of the same weaknesses of the first. It is better in that you've become used to characters making idiotic, unrealistic, and completely out of character, decisions. Unfortunately since so much of the plot is driven by character actions, those actions are critical to a plausible story line.
...When you tie in utterly unrealistic 'acts of god', and farcical physics assumptions, things go from "... a stretch" to "...just plain stupid" Read more
Review:I've always thought that if you have 5 or more authors writing a book - it will make it fast paced... exciting... gripping ... unpredictable BUT this book -as a lot of the other reviewers say - SLOW and PREDICTABLE.
I've read all of Sandra Brown's work ( adore her ! ) and this one .... let's just say - she should just stick to writing by herself. Read more
Review:The characters were believable and the stories compelling enough that I read straight through in a few days. The only thing that bothered me were the over-the-top physical descriptions of all the women. Almost embarrassingly silly in the age of #MeToo. Read more
Review:I thoroughly enjoyed this book , it was one that urged me to spend MORE time reading than I usually do. Though it's a courtroom novel and of course is predictable in that sense , it also contains some interesting twists one doesn't usually associate with legal thrillers. Read more
Review:This novella is truly amazing. Sanderson's idea for Legion is one of the best I've heard off in years. The story is well paced and the aspect interactions are fun and interesting to read. I would recommend this book to just about every teenager on the planet. Read more
Review:There are any number of actors/celebrities who have their names on novels as "author" whose output ranges from putting their names on works mostly written by others (Gypsy Rose Lee e.g.) to "pretty good for an actor" writing (Gene Hackman);
But the ranks of those whose writing is of a level that they could BE successful writers even if they weren't known elsewhere is, let's face it, sparsely filled: Steve Martin, Jason Segel, certainly, and the best by far, Sterling Hayden (Note: Sam Shep... Read more
Review:So disappointed. I'm at 75% on my Kindle, paid $14.99 for this, and it's so boring I don't think I can finish it. I won't be gambling my money on Deaver again anytime soon. Oh well. He's not the first of our favorite authors to lose it. Read more
Review:I do not pretend to be some affluent reading Guru...I am just a middle aged chick that reads for entertainment. I thought this book was mildly interesting from the beginning~~~and somewhere along the way the plot became very engaging and I was hooked. I would certainly read another novel by Patricia Gussin.

Review:An outstanding read from Maybe with two remarkable major characters in David Dixon and Laney. Mayne explores the space tech of the next decade in crafting a hybrid spy thriller/murder mystery in this sequel to Station Breaker. I eagerly anticipate the return of these characters! Read more
