Summary: characters that speak and act like middle school students
Review: All sorts of bad guys running wild, and no one calls police because that would be tattling. Even the protagonist sassing back to someone by insulting his (...). This book is an odd thriller. I'm not sure who it would appeal to.

Summary: Tina Wainscott can write a great suspense!
Review: I picked this up not knowing anything about it, only that it was written by Ms. Wainscott. I was not disappointed. The story was really great and I loved how Kim, even with the blows her life threw her, she did not give up on her dream of owning her own bar. Ms. Wainscott described the characters to the point where it left no voids. I could really feel for Kim and found my eyes tearing up from the fact that she was so strong and relentless. The killer took me totally by surprise, which is what I love about a good suspense novel.

Summary: Suspenseful and Chilling!
Review: Set in the murky swamps of the Florida Everglades where alligators swim thick and loyalties run deep, comes a chilling tale of family secrets and a town where people will stop at nothing to protect their own. Kim Lyons inherits Southern Comfort from her grandma Elva. Now is Kim's chance to own a bar, except the good folks of Cypress don't want her sticking around. Ten year ago she had accused one of its prominent citizens of murder. Threats turn serious when Kim starts digging into Elva's death. Was it an accident like the townspeople claimed happened to the last victim ten years earlier? Or is something more sinister going on? Zell Macgregor isn't supposed to protect Kim after she accused his father of murder. He's not supposed to like her, either, but he does. Torn between his loyalties to his family and guilt over lying on the witness stand to protect his father, Zell wishes Kim would just leave things be and go back to her big city home. He doesn't want to see her hurt or worse. The longer she's in town, the more he wants to act on his attraction to her, which will cause all kinds of trouble. Ms. Wainscott has mixed a suspenseful and interesting plot with great characterization. Zell was so adorable I couldn't help falling in love with him, and I admired Kim's strength and courage. Oscar the pig stole my heart also! I'LL BE WATCHING YOU is such a great book! Don't miss it!

Summary: A well rounded plot...
Review: Ten years ago, Kim's widowed mother remarried, and it was an unthinkable marriage in Kim's eyes, to the man she believed had killed her father. She left Florida and the pain behind, but when her grandmother dies in another mysterious "accident", Kim is left with her inheritance and a pack of questions. When she heads south to claim the bar and home left to her, Kim is faced with old resentments and memories. The easy way out would be to sell out and go home, but Kim is not one to take the easy way. Despite hostility and being forced into repeated confrontations with her childhood tormenter, Zell, she hangs tough. Every day brings her closer to finding out the truth that cost her grandmother her life. Her stubbornness and passion could exact the same toll from Kim, unless Zell makes an impossible choice. **** The pages of I'll Be Watching you sizzle with sulty passion and crackle with sharply ironic humor. Facing one's past is never easy, and always necessary. The author's use of psychological metaphor is subtle and effective in creating a well rounded plot. ***** Amanda Killgore

There were so many twists and turns and so many possible bad guys that you will be kept guessing until the very last chapter as to who is the bad guy!

Someone whats her gone and will go to great extremes to make sure she gets the message. Problem is Kim's tougher then she looks and she plans on staying. Zell wants to dislike Kim but she is a strong individual that speaks to him in more ways then one. He is finding himself wanting to stick up for her even though it goes against the family.

Things are easy to ignore until someone tries to kill her. Now he can't turn and look the other way and further more, he doesn't want too. Problem is can they find out who wants to hurt Kim before they finally succeed? This was a fast paced story that will keep you tied to the book until the final page! The chemistry between Zell and Kim is as hot as the Florida Everglades! This was a great book and Ms. Wainscott is now an author I will pick up based on her name alone. For a great suspense you can't beat on penned by Ms. Wainscott!

Summary: Good Read
Review: This was much better than the awful "Unforgivable" and I was able to read it pretty quickly. However, about 2/3 of the way through the book, a small sentence in an otherwise meaningless paragraph set something off in my head, and from that it was fairly easy to figure out who the murderer was. Up until that point I'd really had no clue, so it was a bit disappointing to finish the book and find that I was right, thereby removing all the suspense for me from 1/3 of the book.
