I really liked the actual story in this book but I think there was far too much back story in it. That would be great for those who have not read the first two books but I have (and recently) so it was just far too much. Also I think that it was a bit much that throughout the whole book the "bad ...
This is the first Tami Hoag novel I've read but it probably won't be the last. This story is about a mother who's daughter has been missing for 4 years. She knows who is responsible, but no one has any proof. The police seem to have lost interest, so she takes matters into her own hand. It's n...
I noticed that there are quite a few reviews saying this book was a huge disappointment. They say it wasn't Hoag's best work. Maybe not, but a Hoag's "not her best" is still pretty doggone good. Really. She is the queen of suspense.Imagine the anguish: Law enforcement can't nail the pervert respo...
Somewhat of a spoiler - but I don't tell you who the bad person is. This was a good quick read. I think it's a prequel to Girl Gone (?). I tried to find the first Kovac/Liske book every time I look it up it doesn't look like the first of the series. So needless to say, I didn't have a lot of back...

'Night Sins' the first book in this 'duet', left enough questions and cliff-hangers to have me reaching for the sequel straight away. I liked the first book, but my initial reaction to the second wasn't positive. The main reason was it started to feel like a rehash of the first story ... Josh i...

I can hear the very sexy Australian voice of Hugh Jackman as I read this book. Visions of his smile and cocky attitude make Pat Reilly come alive for me. I know very well that Hugh is not the sexy Aussie that Tami Hoag had in her mind as she wrote the book. Hugh would have been, maybe, 10 year...

The title itself just gives you chills, add that very sinister line on the cover and everything just got real.

Since the last couple of books I've read have been thrillers and mysteries, I wanted something a little lighter. I also love Tami Hoag. Well, this is definitely lighter, but I have to say it is easy to tell that this is one of Ms. Hoag's early works. I have read some of her early books and enjo...

Straight from the Heart is the first romance novel that I have read by Tami Hoag. I don't usually get too excited over romance novels, but I enjoy Hoag's other works so I figured why not try a romance. The only reason I picked it up to begin reading it last week was because I felt like reading a...

Sabin asked. “Is the girl holding back on us?” They sat in a conference room in the county attorney’s offices: Quinn, Sabin, Kate, and Marshall. Quinn looked at Kate, sitting across from him with her jaw set and fire in her eyes, plainly telegraphing violence if he stepped on the wrong side of th...
She’s in all the databases, on all the websites, and her DNA profile has gone to CODIS.” Liska sighed and arched a brow at her partner. “What do you know?” They sat in their cubicle sharing Chinese takeout. Their shift had ended hours before. Neither of them was on call. T...
I had put the top down for the drive home, hoping the air would clear my head. Instead, the sun had baked my brain, and the wind had swept my hair up into a ’do from a fashion shoot for the tragically hip. I wanted a drink and a nap in the sun by the pool, but knew I would allow myself neither. S...
Liska announced as they walked into the conference room.Kovac glanced back at them. “Who?”“Julia Gray and Michael Warner.

He might have given her a warm smile. He might have blushed and scowled at her, then dragged her up and kissed her. Both fantasies had floated through her dreams.

Greg Verzano said for the tenth time. He flopped sideways on his chair, exhausted and frustrated.

He was the kind of guy who wanted everyone to be light and happy, but...
Lamar Canfield drawled, his dark eyes wandering back and forth between the people who had summoned him to Chanson du Terre at such an unseemly hour of the morning.

It was a beautiful day. All things considered, he would rather have been in his hayfield mowing alfalfa, or down at the creek dipping a pole into the water.
