"This was an awesome book, only the second one I have read by this author but both have been great page turners. Getting you wrapped up in it from the begining, right up to the last page! For me endings can make or break a book, and this one was definately MADE!!!" — Kara (5 out of 5 stars)
"This was an awesome book, only the second one I have read by this author but both have been great page turners. Getting you wrapped up in it from the begining, right up to the last page! For me endings can make or break a book, and this one was definately MADE!!!"
" I love mystery-thriller and this one is fast-paced so I just love it. "
" If I had realized that this was part two in the series, I might have been less confused in the beginning. I had a hard time keeping some of the characters straight at first. Everything was tied up neatly at the end but I wonder if Hoag is planning to continue this series with these characters. Not sure if I will continue to follow this one. "
" I liked this one...page turner and I didn't completely guess the ending. "
" This was a great book, and this is the book that started my desire to read mysteries. I still have this book, and I love re-reading it. "
" Suspenseful. Was made into a T.V. movie starring Valerie Bertinelli. "
" Gets a little confusing at times with so many characters involved on the story. "
" The trama is great, you really want to get to the end, and you can't imagine what's on the next page. Having said that, like any thriller-crime book it usually keeps the answer to the end but is not a solid ending. "
" This was my first Tami Hoag book. It was pretty good. "
" this book is a sequel to night sins and almost the exact story with different main characters--i thought the book was better but no need to read both "
" Sequel to Night Sins. Very good ending. Excellent suspense "
" I didn't want to put down this book. Actually makes me want to read everything she has written. Amazing suspense - only took me 2 days to read it (I missed a lot of sleep 'cause of this book)! "
" I thought this was good. Not as good as Night Sins, but good nonetheless. It also could have been half the length. It went on for far too long. I don't care about the defense attorney unless you are going to kill him or make him more relevant.... "
" I remember being in pre-op for gall-bladder surgery recommending this, and Night Sins as excellent books to read. "
" Too many trivial characters are introduced. Lst 3 chapters are only ones worth reading. "
" A must read but read night sins first. ******eeeeeerie ending.**** I can't get enough of this author. "
" Good mystery; fun read. Nice synthesis at the end. "
" could have done without some of the romance - the guy was originally such a sleaze it was hard to see why she was attracted at all for a long time - so he was good looking! That's not enough. Good mystery, though. "
" When the first words of a novel are "Time to die, birthday bitch" that novel is going to need to work really hard to endear me to it. This one didn't. I didn't make it out of the second chapter. "
" Good story. Likable characters and a great twist at the end. "
" I can't remember the details it's been a while but they are all good. "
" Hate Tami Hoag's books. They are cheeseball romance novels disguised as mysteries. If you like that kind of crap, her books are right up your alley. "
" Just a tad to long to suit me, but a good read with interesting characters especially Paul Kirkwood. Ms Hoag sure knows evil and how to prose it skillfully. "
" Took quite a while to get into the story but it was worth the wait. The suspense continued to build and the ending took me by surprise. "
" Not as good as her others. but if you like her, you'll enjoy it. "
" kinda slow but I HAD to finish it to find out who done it! The last half of the book was action packed! Not a horrible book but not the best I've read. I definetly don't feel like it was a complete waste of my time. =) "
" I liked the first book Night Sins better but the story kept me reading and the end was okay even tho I had guessed pretty early who the accomplice was. "
" New author for me. I liked the book a lot and would like to read more of her novels. Good character development. Lots of action and some plot twists. "
" It started out slow & then picked up pace. I did't know it was a fallowup of Night Sins and I read another book in between, but I really liked the story "
" The psychological twists and turns continue "
" Good escapist fiction. Very atmospheric. A quick but satisfying read. "
" good. fresh, fast paced, scary "
" This was my 1st book I read by Tami. If I remember right it was a 2 part book. I thought the plot, characters, twists in the books were great. Happy Holidays and hope Santa brings many books, Donna "
