Summary: Gut Wrenching and Tantalizing
Review: T.J. MacGregor has packed this tale with believable characters, suspense, murder, a hunky hero and the greatest dog! She makes you want to help the young boy who is going through some very scary experiences. I kept gritting my teeth until he would get through it. He also has a neat little girl who is a friend, a very smart and brave friend. As usual her good men in the story are very very good (where are they in real life?) and her bad men are well...very believable. The dog Oro has characteristics of many dogs I have known. She is superb at creating animals. Anyway it is just the neatest book I have read in a long time. Reminded me of her earlier works and what hooked me in to believing she is the best female mystery writer of our time. Stand up and take a bow!

Summary: Heart Pounding Suspense!
Review: THE OTHER EXTREME by author T.J. MacGregor is a novel swelling with suspense, intense action, a bit of romance, and bizzare twists. A truly compelling story, this book will keep the reader on the edge of thier seat till the last word. THE OTHER EXTREME consists of two egregious murder mysteries, one happening ten years earlier, that tie together in a heart pounding search for answers and truths.
T.J. MacGregor immediatly unmasks the virulent crime of murder committed by Jay Hutchin to the reader at the beginning of the book. Some readers may find this upsetting, but they will soon discover an interesting twist! MacGregor allows the reader to be deceived by the incomplete parts of the known crime, as the main characters, Kit Parrish and her son Ryan, work to unveil the mystery. Midway in the story, MacGregor throws in an unexpected turn and the reader discovers that there is more to the first crime then was revealed. The two mysteries become an enigma to the reader, and newly unearthed evidence accumulates into a confusing pile. Nearing the end of the book however, bits and pieces of the two mysteries eventually coalesce and the puzzle comes together to reveal a thrilling end to both mysteries!

Summary: IT'S IN THE STARS
Review: This is one of McGregor's more accessible and entertaining books. In Kit and Ryan Parrish, Abuelita and Ben Webster, she has given us some likeable and multi-faceted heroes. Jay Hutchins and his wife Isabel are also quite well drawn, and the wife's character takes on some strange dimensions by the end of the novel. There is a tragic undertone that McGregor maintains well, and overall the story's little twists and turns come just in time to save the novel from falling into a predictable pattern. I was a little concerned that when someone sets fire to Kit's office, she didn't have sprinklers? Also, I felt some closure would have been nice in the characters of the Hutchins and the accused Steve Poulton.
However, a fun read and recommended.

Summary: Truth is stranger than fiction????
Review: This is the first book I have read by TJ MacGregor. Frankly, I don't believe in past-life, tarot cards, and astrology. I never read horoscopes becuase it completley goes against my beliefs. Inspite of my feelings on these topics, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There were a lot of good surprises and twists. Kit Parrish of course sticks to her guns and I like that in her. She is also a very devoted mother. She also goes to any length to protect her client who is a murder suspect being held in custody. The story portrays The Florida Keys as a beautiful area. I give TJ MacGregor tons of credit for a job well done. I will recommend this book to even those like myself who have no part of mystical spiritism.
