Summary: Give this a miss..head for her other books
Review: This book - to put it politely - is not very good, which is quite a shame since all of the other books by the author are quite fabulous, especially the Devil series. It's as though the author decides one day to write a book on some dark issues, and went about writing it without wondering how she would go about it. Add divorce, rape, murder, drugs and sadism and stir it all together and voila - To Die For. She added a pair of twins, got them to switch identities without explaining really why they had to do that, made the twin who lived in the city incredibly bitchy and the other who lived in the country incredibly sweet, added a guy who hated one twin and fell for the other, and add a stalker who hated both. **SPOILER** And to end it off, have someone almost die of a deadly illness and get a self-centered person save the dying character. A tearjerker? Not at all. If you want to read a romantic suspense thriller, also with many dark issues, there's always J.D. Robb and Julie Garwood is pretty good in her foray into romantic suspense. Give To Die For a wide berth, but read Melanie George's other books.

Summary: A Book With It All...
Review: This book has it all-romance, hot love scenes, mystery, suspense, and real life issues. The book is about Abby St. James, a woman who has overcome alot of tragidy in her life. While her twin sister is away, Abby takes her place at the magazine that they own. There, she gets involved with her childhood crush Stephan Massari. Issues from her past threaten her new relatioship and it doesn't help that a killer is after her, thinking that she is really her sister.
If I gave anymore away, I'd ruin the book for you. Trust me though, this book is wonderful. The characters are real and the author did a great job at fleshing them out and really making them stand out. It's def. on my keeper shelf!

Summary: Are there two Melanie George's?
Review: This is my first Melanie George book and I though it was great! I read it in one night. It had a little bit of everything that I love. Romance, hot sex, intrigue, and suspense.I have been having a hard time finding suspense romances that don't have too much suspense or romance and it's been very hard. I found this book completley by luck and I am very glad I did!! If anyone has any other suggestions for Romantic/Suspense books, please let me know!

Summary: A Good Read! Great Characters!
Review: This was a dark, fast paced read that I found to be very entertaining but was let down by the lack of suspense. I felt that although the chemistry between the two main characters was great there was a decided lack of suspense to be found. This was a first time read for me by this author and so I am not sure of her ability to pen a great suspense. Although there was plenty potential for the suspense to be more intense I feel that the author concentrated more on the relationship between the characters instead. Still in all a good way to pass a rainy afternoon.

Summary: An Incredibly Touching Story -from a NYC resident
Review: TO DIE FOR by Melanie George, A perfect "10" ... This is a suspense/romance book that takes place in ..., Manhattan, New York (how cool!). It is about a set of twins (Mickey & Abby) that trades places and the good twin, Abby, will try to take her place in running a magazine empire along side the yummy hero, Stefan. Stefan hates Mickey & therefore fights his attraction to Abby (not knowing they had traded places) but in the end loses, on top of that he has to protect the woman he loves from a crazed stalker. The author has admittedly said that this book is written dark and not in her normal light hearted style. As many authors often say, the characters had called to her to write it this way and so it must be. I think the author did an awesome job, I'm going to look for all her backlist stuff. Let me WARN you first, this book deals with the subject of rape and there is a near rape scene. However, it is also a story of survival, healing, sacrifice, hope and love. The story flowed beautifully, the sex was sizzling and tender and the emotions ran high. Get some Kleenex for the ending, cause it will tug at your heart strings, ... I highly recommend this book, it is a definite KEEPER!
