3.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED, March 6, 2008

By

S. Smith "book lover" (usa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Stranger's Game (Bitter Creek Novels) (Hardcover)

One of my favorite books is "The Next Mrs. Blackthorne" I was disappointed to read "A Stranger's Game" I really liked both Kate and Breed in the previous book and I expected more from their characters. I felt like alot of details were left out, the relationship between the two main characters was rushed and I didn't feel any chemistry between them from the beginning. There was no "big ending" for their relationship - the ending was more about the beginning of the next book.

3.0 out of 5 stars I hate mistakes in Books, February 18, 2009

By

Patlb "love to read" (Columbus OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Stranger's Game (Bitter Creek Novels) (Hardcover)

I have not finished the book yet but so far it's ok I just hate mistakes that are just stupid i.e. when your (Kate's) parents (Clay & Libby) have two kids 18 years after they have you (Kate) HOW do these children become your half brother and sister? All three have the same parents! Mistake like this drive me crazy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 24, 2008

By

C. Nawroc (Edison, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Stranger's Game (Bitter Creek Novels) (Hardcover)

I expected a lot better from this author. The book was good but if you did not read her last book, you would have been lost on who the characters were.

Her story was good and left you a cliffhanger, but I thought that her special spark was missing.

I would recommend you wait for the paperback, as the hard cover price even with a discount is a bit steep,

5.0 out of 5 stars Where is the next book?
This was a great read and nice to find out what happened to Breed. I liked the plot of a serial killer added into the book. It made the book slightly mysterious. Read more

I enjoyed this product very much. Joan Johnston is a very good writer and she makes you want to finish it before you put it down.

I have waited for the book for almost 2 years and I think it was the worst of the series. It was hard to get into it and then it was just flat. Read more
