Cutting Edge

Great Read! Good twists and turns. Keeps you turning the pages. I enjoy Allison Brennan books. This did not disappoint.

It's any easy read, all of her books have been that way, I'm ready for a bit more substance. But I've enjoyed the books I've read. She weaves her characters in some of her other books it's almost like you have become friends.

This is my 13th Allison Brennan book having read all four trilogies and one stand alone. I have to admit that when I began this book, I became worried I wouldn't like it and that I was going to be offended as it starts out with characters who are extreme activists for animal and environmental rights and do violent, illegal things. I even skipped to the acknowledgments to see if Ms. Brennan had thanked anyone involved with animal or environmental rights and whether she had sought out their perspective. I didn't see that and that made me even more worried how this book would portray an issue I care deeply about - I am an animal rights activist and like most activists, believe in non-violence for all beings. But I continued on and was relieved to find that the story geared away from that and focused more on extremists with psychopathy. The plot was good though not as exciting as previous books. This one was a bit more predictable but I still enjoyed the main character, Nora, and getting to know Duke Rogan. If I had to rank the books I've read so far, this one would fall at the bottom but I would be the first to say (as I wrote) that I am biased and that may be a factor. I think it would have been nice to have it clarified that the majority of people who believe that animals should not be killed for unnecessary things like food or clothing (and yes, even medical research) are not crazy or extreme but compassionate. I wasn't happy that the bio-tech researchers who keep innocent animals in captivity and make them sick and suffer were presented in a more favorable light than those who see the unfairness of that and believe that all life matters. For people who are not sensitive to these issues, I think the book would be as well received as any of her others. I have given this book five stars because I can separate my personal feelings about the subject matter from the quality of the writing, which in Allison Brennan's case is always excellent. Allison Brennan is one of my favorite authors and I'm so happy to have found her books. I'm excited to get to finally move on to the Lucy Kincaid series.

This is another great book. Allison Brennan writes characters so well and is a great story teller. Can't wait to read her next book.

Nora had a horrible childhood being raised by her mother, a pathological liar who made everything about her. Nora was forced to do things that were wrong - making bombs, diverting attention, stealing, damaging property, etc. But, Nora had a strong morale code and she was determined to get herself and her little sister Quin out of the mess. Fast forward to the present, Nora is a respected, dedicated FBI agent. Quin is a fire inspector. Into the story comes Duke. Duke has wanted to get to know Nora since he first met her. He wisely has bided his time. Now, the two must work together to solve several murders and stop this serial killer. Lots of twists and turns. Riveting, scary and interesting. Excellent story and series.

Loved the book, as I love everything I've read by Allison Brennan. Unfortunately the Kindle version has quite a few typos, not the fault of the author. But as a California gal & lifelong Disneyland fan I have to point out that Disneyland is in California, not Florida!

This series has been everything one would expect from Allison Brennan Books. Action, suspenseful, rollercoaster of emotions and exciting times. Absolutely love this series and I will highly recommend this Author and her stories to my friends and family.

I have read all 12 of Ms Brennan's romantic thrillers. All excellent. I would recommend all of them to everyone who likes this type book. I would recommend them to anyone really. If you want to get into this type book...this is the author to read. Her next books are going to be a little my style, but I like Ms Brennan's writing so I will give them a try.

I have read quite a few Allison Brennan novels and she never disappoints.

This book has not been read yet but judging from her others, it will be an excellent suspenseful read.

all very good thank you
