Summary: This is a wonderful love story that tugs at your heart!

Summary: Magic by Tami Hoag
Review: A disappointment. Not up to the standards of her other books. Very thin plot, no conflict, just two fantastically beautiful people finding fantastic sex (on every other page), and raking their hands thru their wild manes of hair. The mane raking is found in all her books, but those all have interesting plots. She is good with words, but would be more interesting if all the women weren't goddesses, and all the men sexy supermen. Gets a little old.

Summary: Not bad for an early work, an easy read
Review: I am surprised so many people said so many bad things about MAGIC by Hoag. This is one of her early works that I read when it was first published years and years ago. I liked it then and I like it now since I re-read it. No, its not an in-depth mystery, suspense romance. But for what it is, just an easy enjoyable read, it is a very good story. There is mystery with bad guys and a ghost and some romance. This book is well worth reading.

Summary: Couldn't even finish it
Review: I can't tell you much about this book because I couldn't even finish it. This book was such a big disappointment that I finally gave up and started another. Tami, stick with what you know best.

Summary: For romance genre fans only.
Review: I had heard a lot of good things about Tami Hoag's books and decided to start at the beginning. The prologue was unnecessary fluff that "revealed" little personality quirks of Bryan and his three friends, who have very minor roles in the book and what they all look like. If Tami Hoag hadn't been a good writer, I would have slung the book out right there. What follows is a nice little story about an elderly lady with Alzheimer's; her daughter; a ghost hunter and a haunting. Sadly the intense attraction between Bryan Hennessy the ghost hunter and the daughter, Rachel, overwhelm the story. I like a good romance if it is skillfully weaved within a bigger story but I cannot stand romance novels. I rolled my eyes so many times it's wonder I was able to bring them back down again. Really. The marketing folks should be ashamed. This was billed (in the UK) as a sinister tale but it was no such thing. The mystery is easy to figure out and there are some very sweet romantic moments but overall I feel cheated. Only Addie's character, the dialogue, the story and the way Alzheimer's was dealt with, kept my interest. I'm not sorry I read this book but I am sorry I paid for it! It hasn't put me off Tami Hoag but I wish I'd read the reviews before I bought this book.

Summary: Not Hoag's Quality
Review: I have read all of Tami Hoag's books and I am so glad that this was NOT the first one I read - I would never have picked up another and I would have missed some of the most terrific books out there. I don't know what happened with this one, but I guess everyone is entitled to an off day. If you have never read a Hoag book, try "Still Waters", "Guilty as Sin", "Cry Wolf", "Night Sins", "Lucky's Lady", "Ashes to Ashes", "Thin Dark Line" or "Dark Paradise" - all keepers.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: I just finished Ms. Hoag's book Ashes to Ashes and loved it so I thought I would try some of her other books. Despite the reviews I picked up a second hand copy just to see if what the previous reviewers thought was true. Lets face it so many people can't be wrong. This book was hard to finish and hard to understand why it was written. The storyline seemed contrived and there was not an drop of magic to be found. This story had so much more potential and I just wish some more time was taken in the writting process. Don't let this turn you away from Ms. Hoag her later stories are still very good.

Rating:
Summary: Not at all a Tami Hoag caliber book
Review: I love all of Tami Hoag's books, especailly Night Sins, Cry Wolf and Dark Paradise. This book was merely a ghost tale with a little romance mixed in for good measure. This had some great characters who could have been expanded on, but the book was too predictable.

Summary: I Loooooooooveee Tami Hoag
Review: I love Tami Hoag's writings. Although this one doesn't stand up to her others it was still an excellent book. I would highly reccomend reading Tami Hoag books. If you are dissapointed in this one try A Thin Dark Line.
