Book review of Left to Die By Lisa JacksonI received this book as a giveaway from Goodreads. I had not read any of the authors previous books and didn’t know what to expect. The opening pages were very powerful and really grabbed my attention. The story beg...
This is the first time I have read a Lisa Jackson book and I am impressed with this shiveringly good suspense thrillerWe meet detective's alveraz + pescoli who have four women dead and trying to solve the cryptic messages left by the serial killer in the wilds of Montana in the middle of winterAl...
I loved this book & didn't want it to end. In the second half of the story, there were twists and turns on every other page, which only a highly skilled author could cause to materialize. It was a whodunnit until the last few pages.Ava & Wyatt Garrison lived in a castle-like estate on a small i...
It has been over five years since I read Lisa Jackson's "Chosen To Die" which I also liked very much. In this installment of the lives and times of Detectives Alvarez and Pescoli, Jackson does a great job of introducing characters into the 'who done it' line of possibles and leaves you with a hig...

Ceritan...
This book was pretty good.. I'm a fan of all of her books for the most part.. Although why she likes to make her make characters all seem to have "blade thin lips" I just don't get it.. I'm also not a fan of a whole lot of tongue rubbing the roof of my mouth.. But I do at least find the sex scen...
I had a very hard time getting into this book. I would read a few pages and get bored. Which is strange because I love her books. Eventually things picked up and I was able to read a bit more at a time. The book has all the elements of her other books with a second sight thrown in. Well the famil...
This set of four shorts was loosely linked by some elements of the beach in each. The first story, "June's Lace" by Cathy Lamb, was my favourite - a five-star outing for those who love romantic comedy.

Jesus holy god this book was painful to read. I don't know what I really expected, and it's my own fault for not being able to quit reading a book once I've started, no matter how awful the writing. It came with a high recommendation. I think I shall ignore further recommendations from this pe...

An acknowledged master at crafting tales of romantic suspense, Jackson now weaves even stronger threads of tension and intrigue into this pulse-pounding tale....
This was my first Lisa Jackson and I was really excited about the book from the synopsis on the back cover. I like when romance books have some mystery behind it. So, I picked it up but I feel like this book went in chunks or a bar graph for me. At the beginning, the opening sequence was brilli...

Like, soon?” Jeremy asked, dumbstruck. He was pulling a carton of orange juice out of the refrigerator. “In the next couple weeks.” “Why?” Bianca had come out of her room at her mother’s request and was as shell-shocked as her brother. “You can’t.” “Why not?” “But . . . but . . . is he going to l...
Jack Songbird lifted his rifle to his shoulder, narrowed an eye, and pulled the trigger. A tin can hopped off the bale of hay he’d set on the far side of a field of bent beach grass.

Five? Maybe six days. Let’s just call it a week,” the woman on the other side of the rusty screen door said. Rain was pounding on the sagging roof of the porch that fronted the small bungalow, the last known address of Roland Camp, who until a week ago had worked the night shift at a mini-mart an...
He executed a quick U-turn to leave the decaying old hospital behind. As he headed toward New Orleans, his cell phone rang.“Montoya,” he said, flipping on his headlights while Bonita Washington updated him on the Gierman-LaBelle murders. The upshot of the conversation was that there were no skin ...
Julie Delacroix Johnson asked as she sat in a tufted chair in her apartment in Santa Rosa. Dressed in a miniskirt and tight black sweater, she crossed one leg over the other and swung her foot nervously, her slip-on shoe in danger of falling off her toes. She’d allowed Nick and Walt into her home...
Sheriff Dan Grayson was in a foul mood as he stalked down the hallway to his office. It didn’t help that one of his best detectives was suggesting the irrational.“Grace Perchant knows something,” Alvarez, at his side, insisted.“Trust me, she doesn’t know up from sideways.” He’d been in Spokane go...
O’Keefe’s cousin Aggie was saying from the other end of the wireless connection. “And when I say ‘closed,’ I mean shut tight, locked and embedded with an indecipherable code.

"Hey, kiddo-- what's up?" He held up an index finger, signifying to Montoya that he'd be a minute.

"I just wanted ...

A friend who owned this prop job owed him a favor and Striker had called in his marker. He’d also taken the time to phone an associate who was already digging into Randi’s past.

Jonah McKee glared out the window of his den into the black night, his fingers curling into fists of frustration. Slowly he turned and his voice was much lower, but still harsh with steely determination. “You’re not to see her and that’s that. How many times do I have to tell you that Skye Donahu...

It was silly really, but as she stepped into the attic and snapped on the light, she went cold inside. It was night, Shane was working in the den downstairs and she needed time alone. To think.
