Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Who is Shadow?
Review: This time Lucas will encounter hostile Indians and bizarre killings. Three killings with the same death blow but nothing else in common. Or so it seems. As Lucas searches for a
common denominator he encounters Shadow love. This man will die for his cause rather than be caught by the police. He is a Indian who feels that certain people have done his people wrong. They either stole their land, squander their money or pass laws that hinder their right to practice their customs and beliefs. Sanford writes another stellar novel with real human concerns and more insight into davenport's love life. In the end, justice is served just not the typical justice that the courts uphold.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Even better than the first one!
Review: Those of you who loved "Rules of Prey" will not be disappointed with Sandford's second installment in his "Prey" series. Taking a different direction from the first one, this book follows Lucas' pursuit of a group of Indian terrorists (Native American, not people from India) who have been murdering oppressors of the Indian community. I loved this book and the whole concept on which it is based. I particularly enjoyed the villain, Shadow Love, a psychotic member of the group who would rather kill anyone he feels deserves to die. The only thing I didn't like about this book was its portrayal of FBI agents as arrogant screw-ups who like to horn in on the cops' investigations. That stereotype is just a Hollywood cliché that has managed to perpetuate every police book/movie in history. Other than that, the book was an exciting read, easily one of the best.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No characters to root for!
Review: While I was held by the primary story...the background and character development for Lucas Davenport left much to be desired. Camp (Sandford) is so cynical and clearly writes about relationships from a man's perspective instead of a realistic one.

Davenport is worse than Bill Clinton when it comes to affairs of the loins and it sickens me to read about such an unlikeable person. There aren't any good characters in the entire book.

And the profanity is QUITE EXTREME. Especially religiously offensive phrases. While it may make Camp feel he's writing in a "gritty" fashion, he's showing that he has no creativity.

I read the first book, Rules of Prey, struggled through this one...and again, while the criminal plotline is well thought out... Camp/Sandford totally insults the reader and does his story injustice with his writing style. I won't be reading any more of these novels.
