4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing, suspenseful, and a great page turner., October 15, 2001

This review is from: Forbidden Fruit (Paperback)

This book was somewhat of a surprise. I had never read this author before and the cover synopsis did not do it justice. I found myself almost immediately wrapped into the story. A young girl, raised in a brothel, goes away to school, determined to escape once and for all her scandalous past, create a new identity and lose "the darkness" that seems to live within her family tree. All of the Pierron woman have been hookers, sinners, evil, and Hope Pierron is determined to break the cycle. Hope tosses away her past like a bad dream, and eventually gives birth to her own daughter. More than ever she is determined that the legacy of darkness will not inhabit her daughter, and what follows is a story of terror and suspense, well-written and enjoyable at the same time. The interwoven love story is moving, the plot enticing, and the the whole book a fabulous read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super, SUPER GOOD BOOK, February 23, 2000

If I could have given this book a 10, I would have. It took place in my New Orleans, my home town (or should I say city). She is the first author who writes about N.O. and gets the streets, etc. correct. The romance is very good, as was the mystery. I read Shocking Pink and felt she could not write one as good as that one, but how wrong I was. I still have 3 more of her books to read and I am looking forward to all of them. If you pick up a book by Erica Spindler, you CANNOT GO WRONG. If you notice, all of her books got 5 star ratings. Well, one got 4 1/2*'s. I cannot recommend enough that you pick up on one (no, on all of her books). You WON'T be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!!, September 4, 2000

This review is from: Forbidden Fruit (Paperback)

I recieved this book as a freebie about 2 years ago, and recently when I ordered another one, they sent it again. I decided I would give it a try, though very skeptical. This book is by far the best I have ever layed my hands on. I was going through the book so fast that I had to force myself to stop reading it because I didnt want the book to end. I dont think I can read another book because I'm sure nothing can compare to this work of art. When I finished the book I was sad because I knew there was nothing left! I just finished it today and I'm already thinking about the book! All I can say is that this book is worth every minute you spend reading it!
