Book Reviews of The Lost
Book Review: Much better than Kindred in Death
Summary: 5 Stars
EVE IS BACK! If you haven't liked the last two Eve Dallas books don't worry - this short story is soooo much better. Missing in Death still requires a bit of a leap of faith (how did she get 'lost') but it is worth it. I really liked chapter 10 where everything is tied together in classic Eve fashion. I'm glad to see less sex and more story in this latest effort by J.D. Robb. Very cool use of technology.
The Dog Days of Laurie Summer was different - the main character is actually in a coma for 95% of the story. A bit freaky in light of the recent revelation that coma patients might be aware of everything that is going on around them but not able to communicate. It's the first Patricia Gaffney short story that I've read and it was solid. I didn't get into her books perviously but I'm going to have to go back and check them out again.
I've read Lost in Paradise but confess that I've got to read it again. I must of missed something somewhere because I just didn't get it. The writing wasn't bad, I just never really understood why the guy was cursed.
Ruth Ryan Langan's Legacy is good, I'm not sure how it belongs to a short story collection billed as 'paranormal desire and suspense' but is was a nice story. It is more of a classic short romance - long lost ancestor finds down on luck girl, brings her to Ireland where she falls in love with his right hand man.
When it's all said and done - 5 stars for the first two short stories, 3 for Paradise Lost, and 4 for Legacy.
