A good book with great characters that you can really get involved with. An easy story to follow, which is just what you need from a chick-lit, however the ending is a little weak, leaving you wanting to know what happens next.
Good for reading on holiday by the pool!

This book started off slowly, focusing on a few main characters, with not much to hint at what may happen. it continues this way for most of the book, only really progressing in the last few chapters, although the ending is not 100% what you expect, its pretty predictable and no real surprise to the reader.

On reflection, I found this book very strange. While I enjoyed reading it, I came to the end feeling that it lacked completion.

The individual stories that took place within the novel were interesting and engaging, but over all the book lacked the compellingness of Koontz's other works.

A good book, but I think log-term Koontz fans will be slightly disappointed.

Another gripping read from Koontz. Koontz's characters are completely relatable yet a little bit kooky, and come out with things that make you smile and laugh out loud. The storyline, if featured anywhere but a Koontz book, would be a little hard to believe, but fits in perfectly with his trademark mix of thrill and humour that make you not want to put the book down.

A good one for all Koontz fans.

A fab easy read, very funny, full of surprises and very true-to-life. the characters are completely believable, and there is no need to have read the previous books to understand what has been going on, although I would love to read the rest of the series! perfect for summer hols or just some chill out time.

A compelling story told from the eyes of a young tribal girl who experiences the 'conquoring' of her homeland by early white explorers.

A non-impressive start to this book about a girls life with her manic-depressive mother. The story doesn't seem to have a great sense of purpose, and just plods along. However in the very last chapter there is a twist and the story takes on a different meaning. It certainly makes the book more interesting, but at the same time feels slightly out of place.

An ok read.

Another book in the Maura Isles series, with two stories, one past one present, running parallel to each other throughout the novel.

Gerritsens own knowledge in anthropology lends an interesting perspective to this novel, blending ancient mythology with real life horror, giving the characters interesting depth and the story some unusual twists.

Not as compelling as some of her other novels, but none the less a good read.

I found this book a bit confusing to start with, as it jumps form past to present and character to character, however about half way through, the story focuses more on the present, and it turns into a thrilling compelling story.

A cleverly written book that combines a sensible start with fantasy fiction of warewolves and voodoo spirits - not something that is expected but Handeland has really taken into consideration old myths and legends and their origins when writing the book, and blended them with the modern day so well that it makes the reader feel that running around chasing warewolves could infact be a perfectly normal activity!

A book that will no doubt be popular given the recent Twilight mania, however not one for younger readers as there are some fairly graphic love scenes involved.
