Alaska Mi sono trovata a saltare intere pagine: il concetto di Serial Killer libero in una paesello dell'Alaska, nel bel mezzo del nulla ghiacciato è stuzzicante. Ci fosse stata la benché minima tensione... Invece il libro è pressoché un romanzo rosa mascherato da thriller, pagine e pagine di "pippe mentali" di una psichiatra che vuole il poliziotto locale "manzoide", ma lei pensa che lui sia troppo giovane per essere felice con lei (oh no!) e lui si pensa troppo ignorante per essere all'altezza (oh, no!). Le parti cui si nominano psicopatici e psichiatri sono per lo più poche frasi tratti dai libri sull'argomento, per poi avere il contrappunto del poliziotto manzoide, vero dura aMMericano: "per me solo sono pazzi!" (sentita già in almeno n. film, ovviamente americani.) Magari se siete amanti del Romance vi piacerà di più, per chi come me lo trova devastantemente noioso non lo consiglio. Please see all of my reviews on my blog at https://www.robinlovesreading.com. Well, Dr. Evelyn Talbot’s plans for Hanover House has come to fruition. When she approached the powers that be to build a special maximum-security facility in order to do exclusive studies on the psychopath prisoners who were to be transferred there, she met with stiff opposition. Evelyn is a psychiatrist who excels in her knowledge of the insanely criminal minds. It has been a few months and, for the most part, things are coming along quite nicely. The only hitch in Evelyn’s life at this point is that her budding relationship with Sergeant Amarok has ended rather badly. There didn’t seem to be much hope in the beginning, as he was one of the most vocal opposers. But their break-up was for different reasons. Until now, the small Alaskan town had been spared of brutal violence. Shockingly, however, a mutilated body is discovered, thus setting everyone on edge. Could one of the prisoners have escaped? Did Evelyn bring this horror to this town? Speaking of horror, Evelyn was running away from it as well as staring it directly in the face. In the prequel of the series, Hanover House, as well as in this book, Evelyn’s incredibly tragic past is recounted. While she was a teen, she was kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured by her boyfriend for days. This is why Evelyn does what she does. She is determined to figure out why some people behave as they do. Amarok quickly does whatever he can to protect Evelyn, and his town. The terror that is being confronted is at war with the feelings the two are desperately trying to fight. Is Evelyn still in danger from the man who hurt her twenty years ago, or is there someone in that close community committing these horrific acts? This story is ripe with drama. There is the new danger facing the town. There is the dangerous element within the walls of the prison, and not necessarily just the prisoners! The all-consuming passion that Evelyn and Amarok are fighting, in large part due to their age difference, is mentioned numerous times...almost to the point of annoyance. This multi-layered story effectively deals with each issue. For those who enjoy a dark story, no worries there. Each chapter is preceded by a creepy quote from a real-life serial killer, thus setting the tone for the overall story. There is also a significant amount of gruesomeness. If you are a lover of romance, the relationship that evolves between Evelyn and Amarok is handled with patience. Then there is the edge-of-your-seat suspense flowing throughout the pages. I was kept guessing as to who the killer was. Definite shock therapy! Finally, the ending was absolutely bone chilling. I have the next two books in the series, Hello Again and Face Off, but I need a break from the darkness. I am definitely anxious as to whether or not Evelyn’s darkest fears will be realized. Link to full review below! Good for fans of Christina Dodd, Laura Griffin, etc. Enjoyable overall but it kind of felt slow in parts.
