Summary: The Gift
Review: The cover of this book was very interesting and yet, also telling! I knew I was going to love it and I do! Linda Howard gets back on the romance tract, but she is still weaving in that mystery. I loved the way the characters all interact with each other, especially Sweeney and Richard. Great book to snuggle up with during the winter.

Summary: Read it for the romance, not the suspense
Review: This is the second Linda Howard book I've read in as many days, and again, I am impressed with the chemistry she is able to generate between her main characters. It would have been very easy to make Sweeney into a helpless waif who was not able to cope with the psychic phenomena she was witnessing, and to make Richard a one dimensional knight to the rescue of a damsel in distress. Instead, Sweeney is an independent character who wants to deal with the disturbing violent visions she gets on her own. Richard sees himself as a knight, but is attracted to Sweeney's beauty and spirit, not her temporary helplessness. The evolving relationship between Sweeney and Richard proceeds quickly and is described in erotic detail by Linda Howard. The most suspense in the novel resolves around Sweeney's and Richard's relationship: Will he get his divorce from the manipulative Candra? Will he and Sweeney be able to wait until the divorce before they consummate their relationship? These questions are much more intriguing than the questions that surround the so called mystery of Sweeney's visions. She not only sees dead people, she paints them too. When one of Sweeney's visions hits close to home, it is fairly obvious how the plot will be resolved. Linda Howard apparently has no need for red herrings, so the mystery of "Now You See Her" is flat, if not non-existent. However, the relationship between Sweeney and Richard is the real reason to read this book because their growing attraction for each is what drives the plot.

Summary: A Must Read!!!
Review: This was the first book I read of Linda Howard's and I must say it was great. It was a very easy read, and full of suspense. I stayed up all night reading it because I couldn't put it down until I finished it. If you like suspense mixed with a little romance, then you need to read this book.

Summary: Wow! What a thrilling read!
Review: This is my second novel that I have read from linda howard and would not have missed it for the world. It's action packed and has romance to it. My favorite types of novels. Even though the couple in the book get together in a shockingly fast amount of time it did not ruin the book for me. I'm glad that I discovered this author since I was starting to run out of good author's to read. I'm going to have alot of fun reading her books. If you're looking for a good fast paced book with romance dont miss this one!

Summary: if you don't mind the anti-choice message...
Review: Howards is easy to read, a light mystery with romance thrown in. The beautiful artist with a strange ability to paint murder scenes before they happen, and a super-rich love interest didn't turn me on - but that's just a personal taste.My only objection is her condemnation of anyone who has an abortion. It is morally correct for the love interest to divorce not because his wife was an adulter but because she aborted his child. Wifey is not a sympathic character, but deciding anyone who aborts a fetus is evil? It wasn't a necessary part of the plot and seemed like a way to force her anti-choice message.

Summary: One of my favorite Howard books!
Review: What a great book. It was interesting and different. Even though the mystery wasn't hard to figure out, the characters drew me into the story. I have read and re-read this one and put on my list of fav's to keep! Highly recommend anything Linda Howard writes.

Summary: Lightweight but entertaining
Review: This is not as good as some of Howard's best (like Son of the Morning), but I found the characters likeable, their romance charming. In some ways they reminded me of J.D. Robb's Eve Dallas and Rourke (though no one can come close to those two for great romance between a tough, emotionally skittish woman and a fabulously strong man who is determined to love her whether she likes it or not). I also wondered how Sweeney, after deliberately isolating herself from relationships all of her life, could so suddenly and without internal conflict cleave to Richard. The murder mystery wasn't one; the culprit was painfully obvious, and there wasn't really any suspense about whether Sweeney would be harmed when she became a target; Richard was too damn good at protecting her. But overall it was a quick and enjoyable read; if you find it in a used book store, go for it.

Summary: Could have left out the supernatural junk...
Review: This would have been a nice read had it not had Paris having dreamlike premonitions of the murders. I was looking for a regular good ole Sherlock Holmes type mystery, not a Dean Koontz mystery. Ms. Howard also throws around too many clues, and it was easy to figure out who the murderer was. Her writing was also a little young adultish :)
