With the final novel in the series, however I sincerely hope she will give us the stories of the other three Kincaids, Jack, a mercenary, Patrick, a computer genius, and Lucy, the youngest who is center stage in FEAR NO EVIL. There is also the undercover agent, Mick, I would love to know his story. As you can tell there are alot of intersting secondary characters in this novel.

Kate Donovan is a renegade FBI agent. For five years she has hunted the man who murdered her partner, Paige Henshaw, on a live internet telecast. Betrayed by the bureau when they were left without backup. Her boyfriend and her best friend both died. Trask, the mastermind behind the telecast of the rape and murder has been on the run. But he has not forgotten the woman who has thwarted him. His hatred for women has put her at the top of his list of most wanted victims.

Dillion Kincaid is a forensic physchiatrist. He has dealt with the darkness of many sociopaths. But this one has made it personal. Dillion and his family of cops and agents have 48 hours to find and save their sister, Lucy. She has been kidnapped and taken to an unknown location where she is raped and brutalized for the preverted animals willing to pay to watch.

This is a dark thriller with sense of urgency, I was not able to put it down. The menace of Trask and his genius is very evident. The horror of the things Lucy faces is brutal. I very much enjoyed the book and I hope we do get the story of all the wonderful characters in the book. If you read the others in the series SPEAK NO EVIL, and SEE NO EVIL you will recognize the characters from those books here.

If you like a dark, violent, thriller this book is for you.

This was my favorite of the Evil trilogy because the reader got to know all the Kincaids in books 1 and 2 and they played prominent parts in book 3. We even got to meet and love the mysterious Jack Kincaid. Making Lucy, a character readers came to know and like, the victim of the vicious villain upped the suspense and scare level.

This was an edge of your seat, can't put down thriller with an intelligent and romantic love story thrown into the mix.

Warning - this isn't for the faint of heart. Some, many, scenes are brutal, violent, and very frank. It was scary, but a very enjoyable read. Allison Brennan is one of the best romantic suspense authors I have read and I can't wait for her next trilogy.

Now I can catch up on the sleep I missed while I couldn't put Fear No Evil down.

The gruesome story of men or women that harass teenagers is really repulsive. We need to harp our children and ourselves to be very careful with all the chats in the internet with people either they know them or not. I can't tell you that this is a nice story but definitively a must read and learn of it.

Now let's start counting stars:

1 The book'll thrill you from the first page till you finish it. Including the very last page. This mean that the book never goes out of the main plot.

2 You'll see that the police, FBI, CIA or whatever not always are to "Serve and protect" but to do only their prime job.

3 This awesome story is a reality and we must open our eyes to see it. You'll have to learn how to protect your family and friends.

4 Writing about this heinous subject and at the same time thrilling you with the police work is not an easy task.

5 The story is so well written you won't be able to close the book till the end.

6 Because is a really good book.

I don't know why this book disturbed me so much, but it did. Maybe it's because we'd gotten to know the Kincaid family over the past two books, and I was a bit surprised to see the brutality leveled at so many of them. Regardless though, it made me very disturbed.

This series was my first try with Allison Brennan. However, while the books were well-written, they were way too graphic and violent for my tastes. A good story can still be told without that level of violence, or such graphic storytelling.

I don't think I'll be checking out anything more of hers.

The third installment in the Evil Trilogy did not disappoint. We were first introduced to members of the Kincaid family in books one and two, Speak No Evil and See No Evil. This book brings them all together after their little sister Lucy is kidnapped by a sadistic predator. These book are not for the faint at heart, there is explicit violence and sex. But they are contemporary and bring in to play the potential threats of the Internet as a social playground. This book also introduces another Kincaid brother, Jack, who needs a book all to himself! I hope this author continues with the exploits of the Kincaid family.

I couldn't put this one down. I only wish i had read the other books before. I can't wait to go back and read more about the characters.

The clock is ticking and you can't wait to know the outcome! I definitely lost myself in this novel. It was difficult to put this one down...

Let me start by saying I'm a big fan and have read all her books. They generally grab you on page one and don't let go.

I had a lot of trouble with this book. I just couldn't seem to enjoy it. Dillon has been well developed over the last several books, and this just didn't seem to be the right pairing for him. I didn't care for Kate at all. And I think my main problem with this book is that Lucy was the victim. I know it was suppose to have given the story a sense of urgency, but it made it too hard for me to stay in touch with everything going on in the book. I just kept thinking this is too tragic...

I am looking forward to the next set of books from Allison Brennan and will still recommend her to people.

I HAVE READ 6 OF ALLISON BRENNAN'S BOOKS. THE PREY, THE HUNT (MY FAVORITE OF THE THREE) AND THE KILL. WHAT MADE ME DECIDE TO GET INTO THE EVIL SERIES, WAS THE FACT NICK THOMAS (THE HUNT) WAS THE LEAD MALE IN THE FIRST BOOK, SPEAK NO EVIL. THOUGH I REALLY ENJOYED ALL THREE BOOKS OF THE EVIL SERIES, I WANTED MORE IN THE END ABOUT PATRICK. IS HE GOING TO WAKE UP FROM THE COMA AND HAVE HIS OWN STORY? AND WHAT ABOUT JACK'S STORY.WILL WE EVER LEARN THE WHATS AND WHYS OF HIS LIFE DURING THE ELEVEN YEARS HE HAS BEEN GONE FROM THE KINCAID FAMILY. DOES CARINA AND NICK TIE THE KNOT? DOES CONNOR AND JUILA'S STORY END WITH OUT AN ENDING? HOPEFULLY THE NEW BOOK DUE OUT IN EARLY 2008, WILL PICK UP ON THESE LOOSE ENDS, LIKE SPEAK NO EVIL DID FOR THE PREY , THE HUNT AND THE KILL. IT WAS, ALSO, GOOD TO SEE QUINN PETERSON WAS STILL KEEPING THINGS AT THE FBI RUNNING AND HAVING MARINDA TO HELP LUCY. I LIKE BOOK SERIES THAT LET YOU REVISIT OTHER CHARACTERS I HAVE READ ABOUT, SO I HOPE MS BRENNAN CONTINUES TO CONNECT HER'S IN FUTURE BOOKS. IF YOU ENJOY BOOKS THAT LET YOU REVISIT AND CONNECT, PLEASE CHECK OUT MARIAH STEWERT. SHE IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST,IF NOT THE BEST, AT WRITING NEW BOOKS THAT INCORPORATE CHARACTERS FROM HER OTHER BOOKS.

This is a great series! I picked up the first book on a whim and have steadly been reading from there. Allison Brennan does an amazing job catching your heart with the romance, but the books are action packed from beginning to end.
