Book Reviews of Fatal Tide
Book Review: Only a few pages in...
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm just starting this book, and chose it because I knew it had recurring characters, something I always like. It's a little maddening, though. Melis Nemid, from what I can remember and have managed to find on the 'Net, was featured in a couple of other books.. Wind Dancer and at least one other.. (Nanci, I think Wind Dancer is the one you're thinking of, where she's rescued from a brothel by Kemal). I'm really hoping the back story becomes a little more clear, though from what I've read here, it doesn't seem likely that it will. It wouldn't be fair of me to form an opinion yet, as I've only just started it, but for anyone else who enjoys recurring characters.. this one will probably drive you nuts.Book Review: Not her best but pretty good...
Summary: 4 Stars
Ever since finishing Reap the Wind i was hoping she would show up with a few characters from that book, and I was hoping that they would be Kemal Nemid and Marissa Benedict but it turns out to be not so. I refuse to reapeat what every other review has said on here and copy down some form of the back page blurp. Melis is a complex character in my opinion even thought the book does not go into much detail as to how she is complex. Any one having read Reap the Wind would find out that not only was she ... abused but she had been kept in a brothel in Istanbul, Turkey when she was a child. Thought this book does sport some pretty cheesy romance stuff over all I would say it's not bad.Book Review: Another Johansen winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is ellen in atlanta, and we atlantans like our local writers to succeed and succeed this gal does - It is always good to have a premise that works and Ms. Johansen has that to a 'T' -an abused woman overcoming her misfortune with help of an extremely sexy super rich strong man to not protect her, but to bring her strengths out and show her he is by her side, not to dominate or hurt - The premise works and when she brings in 2 cutie pie dophins and a search for a place cooler than Atlantis, the pages fly by.This is another must read for Iris Johansen fans and also a stand alone book that does not refer back to any of her previous books' characters.
Book Review: felt like I read this story before
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm pretty sure I've read all of Iris Johansen's books and I've enjoyed them very much. For some reason though, "Fatal Tide" just didn't feel like her best effort. I was extremely bored with the plot. The thriller/mystery part just didn't seem well developed and the characters a little flat. I'm almost positive that Melis came from another novel of her's where the main characters find themselves freeing children from a brothel very similar to the one Melis is flashing back to. If someone can tell me what book this was I'd appreciate it. (I have to confess that I skimmed the latter 1/3 of the book and read the last few pages)Book Review: Fatal Tide
Summary: 3 Stars
This book isn't as bad as some reviewers have said. It isn't excepetional, but it isn't bad either. If anything, wait for it to come out on paperback, don't spend the money on hardcover. The only problem I had with this book was that it was too similar to Iris Johanson's "No One To Trust". The abuse situations were almost identical. A few times I had to stop and actually think about which book I was reading because I was starting to get the plots mixed up because they were just too similar. If you haven't read "No One To Trust", then it is a good book to sit down and relax with.
