Summary: Good but...
Review: It is the kind of book that you can't put down, but I couldn't forgive Johansen for what she did to Noha. I thought that maybe she didn't have to kill so many people during the book.

Summary: Suspense, romance and strong characters!
Review: Johansen has really provided some fabulous reads and this one is no different. The story grabs you and pulls you in at the very beginning and you just don't want to put it down...even after the last page.
The characters are strong, the story intersting, the plot flows smoothly and there is just the right touch of sensuality to sizzle. Keep up the great writing...

Summary: Long After Midnight is the best book. It is a must read/
Review: Long After Midnight is the best book I have ever read in my entire life. It was suspenseful and very unpredictable. Iris' other books are great too. If you enjoy this book you will also enjoy The Ugly Duckling and And Then You Die. They are both by Iris Johansen. They are worth reading. If you like the way Iris Johansen writes then you should also read a book by Thami Hoag. She is equally as good. I hope that you enjoy this suspensful book as much as I did!

Summary: Unintriguing ScienceGoneWrong Story With Boring Protagonist
Review: Much of this book has our "heroine" gazing down at her son fondly & thinking "Oh, Joshua", with which we're supposed to be touched or possibly relate. She had all the punch and complexity of June Cleaver at Sunday services. The male characters were comprised of pure ethnicist cliche, and of course they were all impressed with our 2-d "heroine's" good looks. So in essence the plot goes like this: a vapid and attractive widowed mother gets embroiled in some shady technology drama which her husband had been involved in. She helplessly shrieks and maternally frets for her son and falls in love with the good guy, so predictably that I wanted to cry for the trees that needlessly died to make this MadeForTVMovie style of a novel. Definitely one of the lamest piles of pulp I've yet encountered.

Summary: Written with the Usual Johansen Flair
Review: Noah Smith has come up with a miracle drug that can cure all ills, but he needs the delivery system that Dr. Kate Denby is close to perfecting. Competitor Raymond Ogden wants to stop Noah, because no illness means no business for him. He blows up Noah's lab and Noah is believed killed in the blast. Someone tries to kill Kate, Noah, back from the dead, convinces Kate to go into hiding, guarded by the dark and mysterious Seth, and so it goes in this thriller that was just a little to far fetched for me to get a handle on. However it's written with the usual Johansen flair and I did find myself rooting for Kate, so I've giving this one four stars.Review submitted by Captain Katie Osborne

Summary: Not that great
Review: The book had some exciting moments...but it was way too complicated for me. The characters seemed two-dimensional, and the plot kept jumping around. I think the book would have been a lot better, and certainly more suspenceful, if it had stuck with just two alternating viewpoints, Kate Denby's and Ishmaru's, who is the madman assigned to kill her. Ishmaru was a very interesting villian...he would have been great in a John Sandford book.

Summary: Not impressed with kate
Review: The character of Kate grated on my nerves! In spite of all that had happened showing the law couldn't help her, she was naive enough to think "the system will work". Seth is a man who is an absolute expert at keeping people safe, a man who would never back down. Yet she fights him at every turn. "You can't tell me what to do" or "I'll do what I want". She needs to remember she has a family to protect and stop acting like a willful child!

Summary: Johansen is obsessed with showers
Review: The characters in this book are forever taking showers. When they're not taking showers, they are either planning to take a shower, wishing they could take a shower, or telling each other to take a shower.
Why in the world does she make the main character, Kate, a scant *29* years old?? It's ridiculous. Not only does she have an MD, she has at least one PhD. And she has managed to reach the top of her field by 29. But wait, there's more! She also, during all this achievement, managed to squeeze out a baby at the tender age of TWENTY, and then raise it. Uh huh.
Why does Johansen not just make Kate 39, and be a bit more realistic on all counts? There is a hint early on when Kate muses that Benny, her ex-husband's new girlfriend, is only 23, which makes her so much more attractive than elderly Kate. ARGH! Clearly, Johansen does not think a woman can be attractive at the advanced age of 39. *snore* How ridiculous.
