Summary: Nora is going strong
Review: When Olivia was only four years old her world collapsed. Her parents, screen legends, separated due to his excessive cocaine habit. One night, Livvy heard a noise, went downstairs to investigate, and found her mother lying dead from a multitude of knife wounds. Her father was standing nearby holding the murder weapon. Due in part to her taped testimony, her father was sentenced to life in prison. Olivia moved in with her grandparents to an isolated part of Washington State.

Olivia is now an adult who still cannot deal with "daddy." Ironically, "daddy" returns into her life when Noah Brady, the son of the police officer who arrested her father, wants to interview her about the incident. Noah, author of true crime books, has the opportunity to write the story because Livvy's father is willing to break a two-decade old silence. Though Livvy is attracted to Noah, she refuses to be part of the book. However, once a door is opened, there is no telling what waits on the other side.

There is no praise that has not been bestowed on Nora Roberts, a genre legend. RIVER'S END is the typical great Roberts psychological suspense surrounded by a family drama and a hot romance. The well-plotted story line works because the likable characters come across as genuine. Ms. Roberts obviously still has the touch that has made her one of the all-time greats.

Summary: Fantastic book!!!
Review: I couldn't put this book down it was so good. It was such a surprise because by reading the inside cover it doesn't sound at all good. But I gave it a try and I'm glad I did it's definatly become one of my favorites this year. The story comes alive for you!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My first Nora and I was hooked
Review: Some may not consider this one of her best, indeed, it isn't listed as a fav anywhere, but it had enough Nora magic to introduce me to the woman and hook me into devouring everything I could there after.

Pacing was good, twists were good and I was right there in Hollywood, the forest, everywhere her characters were. Detail in descirbing the forests got a little bogged down but I waded through it.

I cried at the end - a first for me! ( Until I read her other books)

I wouldn't read this first, if you're just discovering Nora. There are other books that put the awe in awesome. Check those out then come to this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disappointed
Review: My first Nora Roberts' book....with only be persistent did I complete the book....found it to be very slow paced with an unrealistic storyline...shallow characterization

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: ups and downs...
Review: I love the pacific northwest setting, thought I'd love the book. I enjoyed it, but found myself skipping over "filler" periodically. The plot twist and the motive left me scratching my head. Someone commits a brutal act of murder, and then lives the next 20 years with no other outward sign of being the vicious killer he is? No domestic violence, no substance abuse, not so much as a ripple in the calm waters of his self control. You really have to suspend disbelief for this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: what happened?
Review: This is one of the ONLY books by Nora Roberts I can actually say I didnt like. It was SO dissapointing I got mad everytime I looked at it. This books is about Oliva and Noah... THE END. That is practically what it is. It started off when they were both younger, them meeting when they were older and them meeting YET AGAIN WHEN THEY ARE MATURE. I guessed the story RIGHT from the beginning, and I hardly could ever do that before in any of Nora Robert's books. I hate to say it, but I DONT reccomend this book. It was really waste of time. What happened to the quality work of Ms. Roberts?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best book ever!!!!!!
Review: This is the only book I have ever read in only one night and I actually read it again a year later because it was so interesting. You can't put the book down. It gets you hooked right at the beginning. It got me started to read other books that Nora Roberts has ritten. This book has got to be my favorite so far.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This isn't romantic suspense...
Review: But it's excellent suspence fiction. Let me put it this way: I was recommended this book because the person who passed it on to me believed it was the height of romantic suspense. But I disagree. There's only enough romance in the book to add a dimension to the story. The story in and of itself is a riveting, can't-put-it-down kind of story, and for that Nora Roberts has earned well her accolades. This title represents my introduction to the world of Nora Roberts, and I find I am in good company. The author has a huge devoted following, and now I understand why. I recommend this interesting read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The River's End by Nora Roberts
Review: I thought this book was great. The story twisted right up until the very end, and of course, I was clueless. A quick and entertaining read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!!
Review: River's End was an excellent book. I normally don't read mystery novels, but, I have read alot of Nora's, and nobody does them like her. I love the way her characters become a part of you. It's like you are there with them at cetain points in the book. I truly felt for Noah as he tried to climb over Olivia's 1000 foot wall, and I felt her pain and terror as a child and then again as an adult. The ending was such a surprise to me, I held my mouth open for at least a full five minutes! One of Nora's best, definitley!!
