Too little too late.
I'm a huge fan of Nora Roberts and because of this I know what to expect from here consistent quality and talent that she possesses.In this case it was Fluff 101 to the max until the 80% mark when things finally started to take shape.
The beginning and middle was all 'noise' with nothing substantial. Not in the romance department nor the suspense and I know having read numerous works that Nora can 'bring it home' when she needs to and so, I sadly can't offer more than two stars.
While the writing was good it didn't cover anything of interest for a reader like myself who loves to be on the seat of the chair -squirming- out of excitement, anxiety, and or nerves.
The story really came to light when we get into the J.J. scenes which are quite dramatic in the end.
J.J. is the son of Professor Jonathan Bennett who had his own sordid and sad story to tell.
It appears this entire family has issues of abuse and threats of violence and nobody is safe especially J.J.'s sisters.
J.J. has one more target to go after so Adrian may wish to stop the affection segment and check her back.
There's murder, mayhem, stalk-ish behavior, a mixed-bag of shady characters, and death. So much death that there's a list, poems, and more mental madness.
I believe we're up to number 9 with the body of Tracie Potter but there's 34 on this list.
OMG!
This may take some time to decipher ....
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this review.
