Book Description

July 2001
Raven Delaire has sworn vengence on the women who betrayed her. Tayler Windquest is the only woman with the power to save them all. She just doesn't know that...yet.

Tayler Windquest is practical. As a journalist, she has little use for anything not written in black and white. Until the night someone tries to kill her.

Saved from the assailant by her mysterious and beautiful neighbor, Erica Kirsten-Laird, Tayler realizes she's fascinated by the intensely private woman...and not just as a journalist.

As the plot against her unfurls, Tayler finds herself deeply immersed in an ancient and formidable curse. When additional threats on her life occur, Tayler realizes she must find a way to destroy Raven...or be destroyed herself. And when she needs her strength the most, Tayler finds she's hopelessly in love, but to make love to Erica would kill them both.

Tayler must trust her instincts and newfound powers to destroy the evil Raven has created, and to save the woman she loves.

3.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling beginning, February 2, 2002
This review is from: Beware the Kiss (Paperback)
Tayler Windquest is saved from a brutal attack by her neighbor and landlord Erica Kirsten-Laird, who also turns out to be her mother's former lover. Tayler becomes infatuated with Erica and finds herself drawn into a dangerous web because an evil witch named Raven Delaire has targeted Erica for death. When Tayler finds that her feelings for Erica are reciprocated, she must find the powers within herself to stop Raven and save the woman she loves. Acker's captivating tale is a full-throttle supernatural thriller (the first of a trilogy) that is as confounding for the reader as it is for Tayler. The elements of Raven's curse and her motivations are revealed as the story progresses, but they don't answer all the questions. And the book could do with a bit of editing (especially that Spanish!) to streamline the story and clarify details, but overall it is great entertainment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware the Kiss, April 14, 2002
This review is from: Beware the Kiss (Paperback)
This novel touches a little on the sci-fi and supernatural world. I'm not much of a fan, but "Beware the Kiss" was different. A web is woven between two women Erica and Taylor which can never happen because of the curse. There is passion bursting from their relationship which never comes to pass because of the consequences. I found myself unable to put this book down. Great, easy read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read Book for Everyone, September 22, 2001
By 
Kathy (Grand Rapids, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beware the Kiss (Paperback)
This book has it all! Mystery, suspense, romance, intrigue. No matter what you generally like to read this is a must read for everyone. Don't be surprised if you can't put it down once you start! The best part is knowing that there are two more books in the series. I can't wait to see what Raven will do next and how the curse will appear in the next two books.

I hope we don't have to wait long for the next one!
