So bad. had nothing else to read over thanksgiving and picked this up. thin characters, predictable (yet outrageously impossible) plot, and mediocre writingOutlandish storyline. Cardboard characters fulfilling every cliché possible. Could have been shortened by hours if previous actions hadn't been retold again and again. Stilted dialog.
Better editing, with less repetition and unnecessary repeated violence would have at minimum improved this story by a full star. 6.5 of 10 stars
I've read one or two of Catherine Coulter's FBI series, here and there. I enjoyed the ones I read, and I know they hit the NYT bestseller list, so I thought I would start at the beginning and read it all the way through to the present. I still intend to that, because I know they get better as they go along. However, this was a rocky start IMO. First of all, Catherine Coulter was known at the time this book was published as being primarily a historical romance author. If this was her first foray
I wanted to like this book - romance, mystery, FBI... most of the things I like in a novel. The writing started off okay, but the plot was very weak and the characters thin. I don't like it when an author has to prove to me that they did research - for example, having a character talk about something that has nothing to do with the story but is a casual reference to a place or person that is mentioned. For example, Quinlan refers to an element of "the extensive 12-week FBI training at Quantico"
When will I learn? I liked CC's Night Shadow which has a winsome and kickass heroine that wins the bad boy manwhore plus a whole plethora of cute kids that defy plot moppet status. Hes a rake, and the book is rather erotic with no icky sex scenes. The same can not be said about Night Fire and Night Storm. In one the heroine is subjected to an older husband who rapes her and grossly sexually abuses her, and the hero in the other is a complete and total A-hole. And I just gave The Final Cut a 4
This was my first Catherine Coulter book and very disappointing. I found the story line ridiculous and the writing was amateurish with horrible dialogue. It was a convoluted story or, I should say, stories, as there were many subplots. Sally Brainerd escapes from a mental institution where she was put after finding her father (a wife beater and arms dealer) murdered, and James Quinlan is the FBI agent hot on her trail. She ends up in the Cove, a quaint little picture postcard town that sells the
