I on...I don't know what to think of Alex Kava. I only read A Perfect Evil and loved, loved, loved it UNTIL the end. I have no recollection of what the book was about, but I know that I was TICKED OFF. The book was being passed around and around to a group of teachers I worked with at the time and everybody felt the same way. I have not picked up another one since. I think I have almost all of the books in this series, so apparently I have some inner desire to read them. :) It's not like me to not give an author a second chance, so I will get to the 2nd one some time soon - I hope.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-14449910061483793902010-06-12T18:34:56.808-07:002010-06-12T18:34:56.808-07:00Caroline123 - Good to know her previous book was a...Caroline123 - Good to know her previous book was a winner, too.

Happy to enable. :)<br /><br />Lisa - I'll be anxious to read some of those set in the Omaha area, although, after living in Lincoln since 1992, I still don't know Omaha all that well. I can get to the airport, the Orpheum, the Old Market, and a couple of the malls, but that's about it!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-46014912067965046862010-06-11T18:40:43.703-07:002010-06-11T18:40:43.703-07:00I've read a couple of Kava books and they do p...I've read a couple of Kava books and they do pull you in and keep you reading. When she has used Omaha as a setting, it's fun to read about the town and imagine the characters on particular streets or at certain places.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-62034376365897602452010-06-11T10:48:43.153-07:002010-06-11T10:48:43.153-07:00Oh good, there are seven previous books so I won&#...Oh good, there are seven previous books so I won't have to wait to start reading this author.

I love getting caught up in a good thriller. Keeps my mind off the turbulence. ;)<br /><br />Talesofabookaddict - Glad to hear her other books are just as entertaining! I definitely plan to read the rest of her back list. I need to stock up before my next trip.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. It's always nice to see a new face around here. :)<br /><br />Kathy - Yep. Short chapters and snappy dialogue are the perfect ingredients for a beach read. This was just the ticket for my travels last week. I needed the distraction...<br /><br />Bellezza - This is definitely a thriller, but kind of light on the psychological aspect. I think I enjoyed it so well because I like Kava's strong female characters. But compared to John Sandford's "Prey" series, this is a little bit tamer.<br /><br />I've already welcomed you back to Blogger, but you know I'd follow you anywhere. ;) And to think I was going to make the switch over to WP!! It looked too complicated and I don't have the time (or patience) to learn a new platform. I'm still using Blogger Classic! Sheesh. xoxo<br /><br />Jen - And you've influenced my reading, too. I promise I'll read Lonesome Dove one of these days! ;)<br /><br />Annie - She definitely kept my interest. Thanks for stopping by with your comment!<br /><br />Bellezza - Yes, I'm feeling much better. Thank you! Boy, I'd much rather have a head cold...<br /><br />Pam - Oh, good. Another fan. I can't wait to read her other books.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-35331645835419631792010-06-08T16:37:04.487-07:002010-06-08T16:37:04.487-07:00I loved A Perfect Evil, so I am sure I will love t...I loved A Perfect Evil, so I am sure I will love this one too!pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651944290195111894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-66327568579345172522010-06-07T17:44:56.950-07:002010-06-07T17:44:56.950-07:00I hope you're feeling better from your bug.

So, this looks great, as I need a bit of a break from the classics I'vie been indulging in perhaps too heavily.<br /><br />By the way, I'm contemplating a move back to Blogger.

I think I saw another review of this one recently - the hurricane storyline attracted me. Glad to hear it was a good trip book. I'll check it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
