Summary: I hope Final Target isn't the end of "The wind Dancer"
Review: I have now read the whole set to "The Wind Dancer" series, and I have a sad feeling of loss, because my time with them has come to an end. The characters in this book were excellent. Alex is a complex man with a complex life. He has lived a life of solving life's puzzles, a very intelligent man with a heart of gold, even though his intentions are good his actions can be somewhat deceptive, "give people what they want to get what you want" is the theory Alex lives by. When a man from Alex's past kills his best and only friend all he can think of is revenge, no matter what the cost or whom he hurts, Ledford will pay.
Caitlin has all she wants, but with money problems. She has Vasaro, family & friends, but how long she can keep Vasaro afloat before the bank takes over? Then Alex comes along with an offer anyone in her position couldn't refuse.
The question is can they both make it out of this deal alive...

I didn't read the Wind Dancer series in order because I couldn't get my hands on them in the order they were written, but you don't have to, each book tells its own tale. One day I will start from the first book and end on the last though... that's how good these books are :) I can't even name which is my favorite they are all great. Final Target was the latest addition to this series and I hope Iris Johansen brings these characters back to life again at least one more time.

An excellent read, it wont be a waste of your time.

Summary: My favorite IJ book!
Review: The third in the four books about the Wind Dancer, Final Target is the last in the Wind Dancer series.
I loved this book, the characters were great, the main ones Alex and Caitlin were fabulous together. I could not stand it if they were not on every page and when they were it was hot , hot and more hot. I could not put this book down! I loved the plot , the twists and the turns. Added to the list of my all time favs! Alex and Caitlin left me wishing for more and she did not give much about them in the Final Target, I am still thirsty! Fatal Tide another IJ book is the story of Melis the orphan that was rescued by Kemal and Caitlin in Reap the Wind. Kemal and Marisa(Chelsea Andreas daughter, Reap the Wind) also have a mention in Fatal Tide. I feel like I am a part of this journey with all of these characters. Keep them coiming IJ!

Summary: A book to be remembered always.
Review: This is one of a trilogy, but the rich historical background in the novel has been made very real by the author; her characters are alive, vibrant, and people from other ages and times leap out at you from the book.

The Wind Dancer is symbolic of not just a priceless, much-sought-after statue--it is something that calls to mind a pure transcendant beauty that an artist's hand has realized and that nobody else can copy--something so powerful that an identical copy of the same piece cannot fool even a man whose eyes are going blind. The image evoked of the Wind Dancer is special beyond description.

Admittedly the visual painting of the Wind Dancer has to be helped by the imagination. But trust me, the hero and heroine and the fresh style in which the story is portrayed will keep your eyes open--no lengthy, flowery passages as if the thing was an epic, just a gorgeously written plot, and with the romance thrown in, the whole thing is very nicely spiced up.

These are not the only things in the book. I read it years back, and am looking for it again, and still I cannot ever forget it. The story is well researched, but the skill with which the knowledge of the time is made three-dimensional does the historical background more justice than ever. Those who know of this book will know what I mean. You won't forget the hero and heroine long after their names have faded from your memory--they have a staying power, and they blend to fit into their world despite of differences.

Keep writing, Johanssen--you have got the gift.
