Now all he wants is a romantic Florida vacation with the very sexy Rachel -- no fire ants, bi-polar girlfriends, rabid squirrels, accident prone homicidal maniacs, hailstorms, hairless cats, gangs, faith healers, or pirates.

I have read John Locke's Donovan Creed books before and thought that his other Creed novels could not be topped, but this book had me truly stunned from beginning to end.
It is a book about a disappearance, healing people, revenge and historical background for hidden pirate treasures. All stories woven into a true page turner. What starts off as a modern mystery story, ends up being the story of a rare gift passed down through generations.
As with all John Locke books, the storyline is complex and has multiple plots. This means that the book is describing fast paced action and I caught myself wanting to turn pages quicker and quicker to find the solutions to the mysteries that Locke lays out in this book.
To describe this book as unusual is an understatement, it is by far the wildest mystery novel I have encountered in the last few years. John Locke really outdoes himself in this plot and the surprises woven into the storyline.
This is must read for every John Locke fan, but it is also highly recommended to any fan of a really good mystery story.

First of all, this is my first ever review. I felt it was my duty to at least try to curtail this onslaught of 4+ ratings for these books. I read Lethal People and then Lethal Experiment and couldn't put them down. Great Books !! I then read Saving Rachel and it was .. well .. weird, compared to the first two. I stayed with it and about halfway through the book things started to come together and I ended up enjoying the last half of the book. So I feel I'm doing good .. 3 books, 2 excellent and 1 okay for $3 bucks.
Then I read Now and Then .. wow was this book bad. We go from action hero, good/bad guy with a heart, to ... handyman/cook in a Restaurant. Half of the book is a pirate story that completely unrelated to Creed!!!! This book SHOULD BE SKIPPED. Do yourself a favor!
This book was all over the place and I couldn't wait to get through it so I could move on to Wish List .. but I just read the reviews on that and it appears it has a lot of the same problems this did.
Just wanted to warn other readers out there .. I went and bought the rest of the books in the series after reading the first two ... buy them one at a time, skip Now and Then, and I'll post on Wish List after I'm done with it.

A mystery book centered in Florida? NO....impossible. Okay, not really....but this one certainly stands apart from the crowd in typical Donovan Creed fashion. "Now & Then" by John Locke has readers welcoming back this beloved character but not in a shower of emotion....rather another tale of mystery, suspense, and knock your socks off action. Blending a mix of fantasy and reality, author John Locke delivers another great addition to a growing series. If you are new to the series, I'd recommend starting from the top...but this one can still be enjoyed as a stand alone book if you really wanted to. Recommended reading for fans of the mystery and fiction genres. Enough action for the guys and enough story for the girls. A great escape for your next weekend read.....just be sure to fasten your seatbelt and hang on tight.

Now & Then
Great book to read. Can't go wrong with Donovan Creed novels. All the characters have their own stories that could lead to their own books.

Not one of my faves
Having read the first few books in the Creed series, I have to say I was disappointed in this book. While clever, it was not fast paced or intriguing.

Can't figure Doggies purpose.
Another great read. John is a hard one to beat! Doggie was great entertainment, but why was he even a character in the drama?

Pathetic!
A disgustingly week and ill conceived attempt by one I thought could do far better. Save your money and be wary of future John Locke books. Read more

This is the 8th John Locke book I have read and he never fails to bore me. An easy read and very entertaining, yet suspenseful and funny at times due to the wit of Mr. Locke. Read more

is that really how it ends!?
I enjoyed this book right up to the ending, then I felt incomplete. Is this really how it was suppose to end? Good read though.
