Pretty pathetic - total roll of the eye moments, cringe moments way too many. It was like - --- what type of genre is this? I concluded Everything including the kitchen sink! - It was a murder mystery, it was a Satanic Cult story, It was (I guess) a love story and yes it also was a Pornographic piece. I actually Hated it, why I continued to the end was to just find out what awful character was the murderer. Oh... at after all the gory details of what happened to the women.... when the murderer was caught and faced his doom....Not a thread of gore...and it could have included it... wasn't that what the author wanted? Stupid - The author had to add someone toward the end to placate the theme... I guess - Bottom line - Don't Bother (

Eh. Not my favorite. The premise is good, but there's a lot of clunky writing involved (backstory dumping, character's speech that just doesn't ring true, that sort of thing). (

Started with a bang but fizzled out.
The dialogue is poorly scripted and the characters are superficial. I found it difficult to care about any of them and the paranormal aspects were poorly integrated. (

There is a killer on the loose in Cherokee Pointe, Tennessee. He goes from place to place sacrificing his victims in groups of five. The fifth victim always has a sixth sense, from empathy to telepathy. This time he has found the perfect fifth victim, one that will give him the ultimate power. The chills created are enough to keep you up all night. If you enjoy Linda Howard, you will definitely fall in love with this writer. (

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 (

To my precious niece, Ja' Net Horton, who is as

beautiful inside as she is outside. I remember the

first time I saw her when she was a little beauty of

eight and I was dating her uncle. I knew then that

I wanted a little girl who looked like her - blond

curls, blue eyes, and a sweet smile.
