2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to par with the rest, August 3, 2006

This review is from: Shadow of the Mountains (Cheney Duvall, M.D., Book 2) (Hardcover)

I've read (and in fact own) all the other Cheney and Cheney/Shiloh books, but can't bring myself to buy this one or read it more than once every couple years, if that. It didn't have the same feel for me as the rest of them did, and I really didn't like the character of Maeva Wilding. Yes, I'll admit, it was partially because she was a threat to the whole Cheney/Shiloh ship, but she was just a weird character that made the whole book sort of a one-off disappointment to me. I love every other book, but this one is just ... different. You lose nothing by skipping it and going to book 3, A City Not Forsaken.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't stand up to the first, September 6, 2001

This review is from: Shadow of the Mountains (Cheney Duvall, M.D., Book 2) (Hardcover)

Shadow of the Mountains is the only book in the Cheney Duvall series that I recommend you skip. It seems that a good deal of effort was put into building up Cheney and Shiloh's relationship in the first book and then in this book it's all torn down. The characters simply weren't as memorable in the first book of the series and it lacks a sense of adventure that the first had. I suggest that you skip this book in the series and move onto the next. You'll be missing nothing.

I got hooked with the first book and the second I read in a day and LOVED IT! It's a great book the setting is something different and the conflicts just kinda pulled you into the book.
