Rating: Summary: The Stone Forest Review: This book was a real page turner, very hard to put down. It kept you guessing right up until the very end. Great book.
Rating: Summary: Don't Understand the Nay Sayers!!! Review: This book was totally awesome and I don't know why some gave it such poor reviews. It started a little slow but that isn't unusual. It kept me guessing about a number of things and couldn't put it down til I "solved" it!!!!!! I will definitely read more of Karens books!!!!
Rating: Summary: Wasted money Review: Though "romantic suspense" novels are not my usual favorite, I picked up The Stone Forest in the airport last week looking and hoping for a light read and passing entertainment. Within 6 pages I knew I had wasted my money. The dialogue in this book is - - horrible. I literally could have done it better myself. The basic plot had potential, the writing skills and dialogue between characters are just very very bad. It's already in the bag of things to give away.
Rating: Summary: Where the heck was the romance? Review: Well this book delivered on exactly one thing...mystery. There was absolutely no romance. A couple of chaste kisses(no detail: simply "they kissed") and a few bottom gropes do not count as romance. If you want to read a murder mystery then by all means pick up this book but if you want a romance then don't waste your money.
Rating: Summary: An intriguing mystery and sweet romance Review: What could have been a creepy romance between the old boyfriend of a sister was actually very sweet. Tomboy Jenna and perfect sister Amanda were kidnapped on Jenna's 16th birthday. Only Jenna was returned a few days later. 15 years later Jenna returns to her childhood home hoping to uncover clues about what happened to her sister. Also returning home after a 10 year absence is Mace, the man Jenna has been in love with her entire life. He is also the old boyfriend of her sister. Together they begin to unravel the truth, and find out all kinds of secrets about the town and their families along the way. I enjoyed the telling of the story. It was suspensful and romantic. The characters had human flaws and were people I could relate to. I'm already looking for another book by Harper to read.
