Book Reviews of Speak No Evil: A Novel
Book Review: Loved the book, hated the crude language
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was suspenseful, kept you guessing till the end. I love Allison Brennan's books, have read them all so far. The only thing that I really don't like is the crude language, I think it would still be spine tingling if it was toned down a bit. This book was a nice mixture of suspense with a little romance included. Hopefully the next one will have a little less of the crudeness.Book Review: A good mix of romance and supense.
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually, a good mix all together. The murders were just gruesome enough to intrigue and upset you and make you want them solved. Just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, and still be believable. And just enough romance to round the book out. I will definitely read her next book as soon as it is released. This one was worth the money.Book Review: EXCITING SUSPENSE THRILLER
Summary: 5 Stars
Carina Kincaid is a police detective faced with a grissley murder. The young co-ed was found with a garbage bag over her face, a vile word scratched into her skin and she had been raped with various objects. Carina searches diligently because she fears this might be a serial rapist. The girls boy-friend is much older than her and becomes the main suspect. Steve Thomas has a brother who is a sheriff and he quickly calls Nick for help to prove he did not kill his girl friend.
Nick Thomas is recovering from an attack by a serial killer. he still suffers with painful legs and knees from the attack. His mental state is not that great either. But naturally he comes to the defense of his older brother. He and Carina hit it off and she comes to realize she probably needs his help as another body quickly turns up.
The relationship between the brothers and the developing attraction between Nick and Carina is great. The suspense is heavy, and the delusions of this murderer are just plain scary. They quickly realize Steve is not involved but the murderer is not going to stop until they stop him.
Wonderful read, kept me wondering the whole time. You have to read it if u are looking for a great suspenseful adventure.

Summary: 5 Stars
Eighteen year old college student Angela Vance went with him because she thought he was safe but at his place he tied her to his bed, glued her mouth shut, tortured, raped and killed her. He dumped her body and when the police find her they have no evidence linking her to a killer except the man that reported her missing. Thirty-nine year old Steve Thomas who had sex with the young woman knew something was wrong when she didn't write in her online diary describing in graphic detail her sexcapade.
Steve immediately calls his brother sheriff Nick Thomas of Bozeman, Montana asking him to come to San Diego to help him. He arrives and meets with the sexy lead detective Carina Kincaid who takes an immediate liking to him. When another college teen is killed in the same manner and evidence points away from Steve, Nick volunteers his services because he has been on the receiving end of a serial killer's actions. As the two law enforcement officials work together they find themselves falling in love but their relationship has to be put on the back burner because another college student is killed and shortly thereafter a fourth girl is kidnapped. The killer is calculating and if he isn't caught many more lives will be lost.
This police procedural romance is full of action and gives the reader an interesting look at an ongoing investigation. Allison Brennan has a distinct voice that lends itself to creating characters that are dedicated people trying to do the best they can. The protagonists look at themselves as ordinary people trying to do a job but they are heroes because they risk their lives to save others. The fast paced story keeps readers immersed in the tale until the last page is turned.
