Summary: DOWN TO THE DETAIL
Review: This is a gripping thriller of the highest order and a very original concept! It's a bit out there, but the author handles it like a skilled surgeon and you go for the ride happily holding on for all you're worth. This is at times terrifying, at times moving and overall excellent. With all the other so-called best sellers out there churning out garbage year after year, it's nice to see a new and original voice in the genre.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: I bought this after it won the Today Show award and finally got around to reading it. I was not disappointed. The hero, Charlie Grover, is a wonderfully-conflicted character trying to keep his personal life together as he hunts down a crafty-killer. His daughter, Sophie, is spot-on as a teenage girl whose heart has taken over her head as she rushes headlong into falling in love for the wrong guy. The killer is one smart and evil s.o.b. whose reveal surprised me.The writing is outstanding... graceful yet muscular as the plot pulls you from one chapter to the next. I was never happy to put the book down and only did when I absolutely had to. This is a terrific thrill-ride by a very talented writer and I eagerly await the next one.

Summary: To Quote the Chicago Tribune:
Review: 'It's one thing to come up with a high-concept thriller of such elevation that it must have caused nosebleeds at editorial conferences--a serial killer working under the cover of murderous tornadoes in Oklahoma and Texas--and quite another to turn it into a heart-pounding, highly literary novel full of stunning art and science. The splendid Alice Blanchard, who won the Katherine Anne Porter Prize for her short stories and who showed she could also sell lots of psychological chillers with 'Darkness Peering,' has done both in her latest effort.'

Summary: A TERRIFIC BOOK
Review: I loved this book from cover to cover. The characters are terrific, the writing is superb and the plot keeps you guessing. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a fast, fun mystery/thriller that also has some meat on its bones.

Summary: Interesting....Kind of....
Review: OK, I just finished this book last p.m. I thought it was an interesting premise but I just dont find it believable. I mean, come on, a killer who knows exactly where and when a tornado is going to strike? I thought the murderer was an obvious suspect from the get go and he was virtually ignored as a suspect until the conclusion of the book. I thought the romantic portion was forced and contrived. I did like the adolescent turmoil and father/daughter relationship. That seemed real to me... Overall, so-so. There are much stronger reads out there.

Summary: You have got to be kidding me
Review: The writer took a great idea and destroyed it. In a story that is so unbelievable its funny. Her weather and crime scene knowledge and research is non existant. This book is so far out there its not believable at all. She writes in characters into this book that leave you wondering just what their purpose is. This is 1st grade story telling at best. Nothing is tied together and the way this book jumps around its impossible to form a picture in your head. I could barely finish this book it was so horrible. What she did to this book is criminal and whomever at Warner books approved the publishing of this book should be fired. To say a book like this is great is a slap in the face to all the great authors out there like Patricia Cornwell, Iris Johansen, Kay Hooper, Dean Koonz etc. Don't lower your standards.
Pass this one up, its not worth the paper its written on.

Summary: ...
Review: its horrible, the characters are corny and sterotypical..she lacks any all research to this book even remotely believeable.. I've chased storms for years, Twister was more accurate than this.. I've read books for years too and she sucks when it comes to evidence collection and anything else.. The mistakes were so numerous that you could hardly get through the book, it was so unreal and unbelievable that you almost had to laugh at how stupid it was. ... Warner books should be ashamed and embarrassed to think they could trick the public with hype to cover up a horrible horrible book.. This should have never been published at all. ...

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: I usually don't take the time to do this, but it is such a great read. It is so gripping and thrilling that I couldn't put it down. It's not only a page turner but well written as well.. I highly recommend it. I haven't been this entranced since "The Firm."

Summary: 4 and a half stars
Review: I loved this book. It's entertaining, frightening as hell and beautifully-written. The first chapter grabs you, then doesn't let go. I got hooked by this compelling cast of characters and the interesting story. Fun novel.

Summary: It will give you a toothache
Review: A serial killer who pulls teeth and strikes only during a tornado? Unbelievable and ridiculous!! This book is so bad it is almost funny. But I'm not laughing because I spent good money on it. Please don't waste yours.
