A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life
As good as book 1, better than book 2. There was one incident in the middle of the book that bothered me (something that could have been caught by an editor but apparently wasn't) -- heroine downs three shots, feels drunk, flirting wiht another cop, then takes off and is in a warehouse chasing a suspect...there was no indication of how much time had passed. It's a small thing but annoyed me. I'm no prude (LOL) but I hope Kate gets a handle on her drinking...it's annoying more than anything.
Didn't enjoy this one near as much as BANISHED...it kind of felt like a lot of the storyline was forced but I loved the idea behind all of it and wish tehre were more books in the series.
The auto-romance lost this book a star. I really liked it overall, but my earlier comment about the romance happening so fast and the skippy hoppy storyline were not endearing.
Two stars is generous. I'll give her another try based on reviews I've read, but this was just so poorly written I made it about a third of the way through and had to give up.
Hmmm just like in Untraceable, the writing itself was good, and this one seemed tighter BUT the heroine wins the award for the most TSTL Fiction FBI Agent EVER. I don't even know where to begin (and I guess I"ve seen too much Criminal Minds) ...things that were implied should have been said and vice versa, when a serial killer calls your hotel room, don't roll over and go to sleep, get the call traced, when a woman tells you a cop in San Marcos has a lead for you and you're IN San Marcos, stop and call him before you leave town--REALLY?? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?!? REALLY???? There were more but you get the picture.
On a scale of 1 - 5 for me not guessing who the murderer was and the ingenious use of geocaching, I give a 5. For another slightly scattered story and FBI agents who didn't really feel like FBI agents as well as the aforementioned TSTL heroine, I give a 1.
The writing was good and the book was fairly fast paced but the story just felt...scattered (for lack of a better word) or maybe not as focused as it could have been -- it definitely could have been tightened up a lot -- and the author seemed to spend a lot of time trying to convince us the hero was a cop. I dunno...she's a good writer but I'm not a romantic suspense fan and I guess on many levels this just didn't work for me.
