Book Reviews of Body of Intuition

Book Review: I want to like this...
Summary: 3 Stars

I really want to like this book, but I'm torn between recommending it and throwing it through a window. The main character is interesting and sympathetic, the setting believable, and the mystery and resulting cast of suspects were compelling enough to keep me reading through the moments-of-serious-wincing.

Oh, but what moments they were. I agree with a previous reviewer, the made-up words need to go. In fact, I'd like to remove Cally's entire family and all of their history because it detracts from the plot instead of adding to it. The protagonist's family are constantly mentioned, and after the umpteenth reference to "the Lazars" in a chapter, one begins to wonder if they're a family or a species. The worst moments are when all of Cally's siblings descend en masse to the coastal inn where Cally is busy solving the crime, as this seems to be little more than a flimsy excuse to work in all of those quirky personalities that the author clearly spent an abundance of time coming up with. Unfortunately, the Lazars are more annoying than entertaining, especially when they all begin completing each other's sentences. The same goes for Trica, the catalyst character who should win the prize for "most annoying name." While the story behind the name is amusing, it looks too much like a misspelling of Tricia and kept jerking me out of the story. Ditto for the elements that were interesting the first time and grew annoying with the number of times they were mentioned-- especially the "forces of darkness" surrounding Cally's ex-boyfriend and the "cane-fu" sparring between Cally and her lawyer friend.

Cally the energy worker is an interesting premise, and I will read this author again. I just hope that further books in this series are a bit more even in writing.

Summary of Body of Intuition
