2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, November 6, 2008

A Kid's Review

This is book 2 of a trilogy. The first two books are paperbacks and the third is a hardback. In order to get people to pay double the price for a hardback, the two paperbacks HAVE to be great so that people will want to find out how the trilogy ends. This book isn't great. It's not even close to being great. A lady gets a [..] job to write a first person account about cosmetic surgery and ends up with a T-FLAC psi agent who powers are on the fritz unless he holds on to her. Give me an Edge brother any day.

Save your money. I recommend the library if you really want to read the book. That's the only way I'll read the hardback.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, November 8, 2008

By	Robin Collins "CournteyMatt'sMom" (Elkton, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very disappointed with this book. After reading and enjoying "Night Fall", the first book in the "Night" T-FLAC/psi triology, I was really looking forward to this one. I liked the characters and thought the story had potential but it just didn't come together. Too many things were left hanging. I want to know why Lucas's powers kept "going out" (as Simon's did in "Night Fall"), why/how Sydney acted as a power boost, what was really going on in the warehouse, what was up with the semen samples, what is going on with the room service waiter, is Mason Knight somehow involved and what's the story behind "Christy"??? The book ended with only vague, partial or no answers to all these questions. It was only loosely tied into the first book with only brief mention of Simon's relationship to Lucas & Alex Stone who was introduced and set up as the main character in the next book. I'm sure, as another reviewer mentioned, that this is a ploy to get us to buy the next installment which is a hardback. I understand setting up the next book in a series, it's done all the time, but this one was done poorly with the first installment pretty much stand alone and this one totally NOT standing alone. I will read the next installment, "Night Shadow", if for no other reason then in hope of finding out the answers to all the unanswered questions from this book but I am very disappointed in Ms. Adair for doing this to her readers. I read all of the other T-Flac & T-Flac/psi books and although I did like some better then others I loved them all and considered Ms. Adair one of my must read authors. I hope that she can redeem herself with "Night Shadow" but I will wait and try to get it from the library before I spend my money on it this time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book 2 in the Night Trilogy, January 1, 2009

By	Sheri Carucci (United States) - See all my reviews

This is book two, it's a stand-alone in some ways but you really do need to read the series in order, and the conclusion comes in book three, Night Shadow.

Sydney McBride is a writer who's career needs a hit book. She's writing the story of a luxury plastic surgery in Brazil. Lucas Fox is a wizard and T-Flac operative who come to the spa following a suspect and ends up stranded and Sydney lets him in hoping he's an even better story.

Together they uncover a terrible secret and are falling in love along the way. I have read all the T-Flac books and love Cherry Adair's writing but the bad guy in this book was so bad, and the storyline so gruesome it should be noted that it's not for the squeamish. I would have liked a little 'less' detail. :-)

Overall a good story and I'm looking forward to the conclusion!
