3.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By A Reader (South Dakota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silent Night (Mass Market Paperback)
Three bestselling authors collaborate on an anthology but the result is a big letdown. Claudia Dain seems to have used teenflicks as inspiration for a story that's a bit immature for adult readers (I'd rather watch "The Blair Witch Project" again!) although Evelyn Rogers presents us with a thriller that's worth reading on the next dark and stormy night. It's hard to grab attention in a short story rather than a full length novel tho

This review is from: Silent Night (Mass Market Paperback)
Again, I know I say this alot, but I try not to blast a book too much because the writing is very hard to do and time consuming and I know the writer or writers in this case do not intend to make a 'bad' book, but sometimes, we need to call them out.
I gave this 2 stars when I really was thinking 1. Why? Because of the story written by Dee Davis. The second one. Claudia Dain's story 'Tracked' was first and probably the worst. I was stunned at the childish way it was done and the characters being so unbelievably unlikeable. Aren't we supposed to like the heroine? The 'scary' parts were FAR from frightening and the story left me not scared or worried for her, it left me hoping she would perish and the story would end. I hadn't realized it would be about a bunch of kids doing stupid things in the woods while a killer lurks and somehow a love story emerges? More along the lines of a 'B' movie. 1 Star... Dee Davis's 'Still of the Night' was good. It was far from excellent, but it was fairly entertaining. The heroine was realistic and the scenes were charged with suspense. Not what I expected still for the title of this collaboration is 'Silent Night' with a dark and cold snowy setting and a lone glove seeming to reach out for help in the tracks left behind it. But if you're looking for a real thriller in this story, you won't get it still. This is about mistakes and set-ups and murder-for-hire plot. 2 Stars... Evelyn Rogers is the last in the novella with her story 'Wounded'. It was not a thriller and never scary or suspensful. I guess one could loosely call it a mystery, but I would never. This one is more 'wounded stranger on the run, stumbles upon irritating woman alone in house in the woods'. The heroine is very irritating and soon you start to empathize with the hero. She doesn't make for an interesting character. Looking for a collection of thrillers? Not here...look elsewhere. Very disapointing. This is one of those rare books in which I felt like I wanted my money back. Tracy Talley~@

Silent Night,
By AK "Bro" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silent Night (Mass Market Paperback)
**** Throughout this trio of stories runs a common thread, a woman is in danger, and must rely on the man who loves her, even though she may not realize he does to help her save herself. Beginning with a college girl lost in the woods running from danger, going to a woman who learns the man she wanted to be rid of has a secret, and ending with a DEA agent involved in a suspense filled mission, each one will hold you riveted. The strongest of the three is Dee Davis' entry, the middle story, with enough plot twists and romance to fill a full length novel. ****
