Absolutely a 5 star ride!
This was my first Kresley Cole book and I am now on book #3 within 3 days. I was totally captivated by the characters and the alpha male lead, Lachlain, left me breathless and begging for more..... Erotic, romantic and simply a great ride!!

I Could Not Put This Book Down
This was an amazing book. I picked it up and read it almost non-stop for a couple of days. If you like spy thrillers, this is it. I hope they make it into a movie. I believe this was the first in the series.

Bold & Believable
I am always prepared to make allowances for an author's first efforts, but didn't have to in this case. With a bold and plausible plot right out of today's headlines, I found this book to be an exciting and realistic read. Scot Harvath is a rare hero, driven to accomplish the mission, with the willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done, yet he is likable and thoughtful. I bought ...

Pocket Star, 2000
My first Temperance Brennan story - Good book!
It was a really satisfying read. There are a lot of gruesome details...it helps that the author is a forensic anthropologist herself.
I read parts of the book alone at night and made myself scared thinking someone was watching me or going to break into my apartment while I was sleeping. After numerous attempts at trying to read before bed and getting too scared to carry on after a page or ...

The Twilight Before Christmas (Drake Sisters, Book 2)39 reviews

Pocket Star, 2003
This one is much better than the first
I read Oceans of Fire first and fell in love with book and the Drake family. So I had to catch up on the rest of the sisters so I began the series with book No. 1. Magic in the Wind was a very short read and left me a little disappointed because it wasn't as in depth as the first book that I had read. Twilight Before Christmas is book No. 2 in the Drake Sisters saga. It was definitly more ...

No Rest for the Wicked
Great read! I've become a true fan of Kresley Cole. She weaves description of setting with an invested caring and passion for the characters in the story. They aren't just hot and steamy lovers (no worries...they are!) but you find yourself drawn to turn one more page to make sure they make it through unscathed...emotionally and physically. I read this book after 'A Hunger Like No Other' and ...

Zero to 183 in no time
I had just finished reading DEADLY DECISIONS by Kathy Reichs and was looking forward to reading BARE BONES, but it was kind of late at night and I thought: :Well, I can start this tomorrow." then after reading the back cover 5 or 6 times I decided to just start it, read a chapter or two and then get into it for real the next day. The next thing I knew I thought I should go to bed because I had ...

Bones VI
Although the Tempe Brennan in the books shares only the name and the profession with the TV character, she is also an enjoyable heroine. The author obviously does great background research for her novels. A great fun read.

Vince Flynn

Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp novels
If you like political intrigue and/or spy novels, I suggest doing yourself a favor and just buy all of Vince Flynn's books now. Start with "Term Limits" and you'll be hooked. "Executive Power" is excellent. But, of course I have followed these characters through the first 4 of this series. The character development happens throughout the series so you may not be as drawn to the characters if you ...

Another excellant read by Kathy Reichs
I have read all of Kathy Reichs books. An author who has lived what they write is extremely important! Yes there are good, even some excellent writers out there, however, who knows their subject matter than one who has lived it. I am also happy for Ms. Reichs success of "Bones" the tv show. Go for it all!

The Girls Get a New Lease on Life
"Cross Bones," (2005) is the eighth in the Dr. Temperance (Tempe) Brennan series by Kathy Reichs. The first, "Deja Dead," brought her instant acclaim when it became a New York Times bestseller and won the 1997 Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Then, as frequently happens, the series seemed to get a bit tired. Nevertheless, it was translated to the highly-successful current "Bones" television ...

Kathy Reichs, where have you been?
Having finished FATAL VOYAGE, all i could think of was how had I gone so long without discovering this author? Great characters, especially Tempe Brennan who is constantly making smart remarks or thinking smart remarks and keeping them to herself. The story is told in first person from the point of view of Temperance, who is called in to help identify the bodies of people who died in a plane ...
