Author: J. D. Robb
Rating: 10
Jan's Opinion: I am a big fan of Eve Dallas' character in J. D. Robb's "...In Death" series of books, and I certainly wasn't disappointed in this one! In fact, it is my favorite so far, if that's possible. A serial killer who slipped through Eve's fingers 9 years ago is back on the scene and he wants Eve for his final "prize". I figured he is pretty stupid if he thinks he can catch "kick-ass Eve" but I have to tell you, I was biting my nails until the very end!

DOUBLE CROSS
Author: James Patterson
Jan's Rating: 9
If you have been reading all of the "Alex Cross" books, you know who Kyle Craig is. Alex Cross is responsible for putting him in a maximum security prison 4 years ago after a series of brutal murders. Kyle has just escaped from the prison and is out to find Alex and get even. As if that isn't enough, there is another serial killer out to get Alex so he had better watch his back. When Alex isn't looking over his shoulder for these killers, he has a new love interest named Bree, and it sounds like she just might be a "keeper". The ending leaves you looking forward to his next book.

SLEEPING WITH FEAR
Author: Kay Hooper
Rating: 8
Riley Crane is a member of the FBI's Special Crimes Unit and is a clairvoyant, which is a talent that helps her solve crimes, until someone messes with her powers, tases her, and now she can't remember why she came to Opal Island, or that she has fallen in love with the local District Attorney, Ash Prescott. She knows her life is in danger but she doesn't give up searching for the answers she so desperately needs because she knows this person is a murderer. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and think Kay Hooper is a great writer.

ONE LAST LOOK
Author: Linda Lael Miller
Jan's Rating: 9
This is one of those books that I hated to see end. I really enjoyed it! Clare Westbrook, Special Investigator for the D.A.'s office, is pregnant with Tony Sonterra's child. Tony has been offered a job with a federal task force to run down"coyotes", people charging illegals to get them across the Mexican border and then shooting them or leaving them to die in the desert. Clare makes the move with Tony and there begins many attempts on her life. Very exciting with romance as a side dish.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
Author: James Patterson & Howard Roughan
Jan's Rating: 5
I will start by saying that I have read all of James Patterson's books and this is by far the most unusual one he has written. I kept waiting for the story to make sense and you don't know until the very end why these weird things are happening to Kristin Burns. If I had known from the beginning that she was a "medium" but didn't know it, I would have enjoyed the book more, so if you read it, that little tidbit might help you understand the book.

HIGH NOON
Author: Nora Roberts
Jan's Rating: 10
Jan's Opinion: Nora Roberts never disappoints me and this book is no exception. Every time I put it down, I couldn't wait to pick it up again. The story centers around Police Lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara, who is a hostage negotiator for the Savannah Police Department. Her life is full of action at work and at home, where she takes care of her agoraphobic Mother and 7-year old daughter. Now someone is trying to kill her, just when she has met the man of her dreams. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

SHOOT HIM IF HE RUNS
Author: Stuart Woods
Rating: 9
In Stuart Woods books, if it's a Stone Barrington novel, you know you are going to enjoy it, and this is one of his best. Joining Sone Barrington in this book are Holly Barker and Dino, plus Will Lee as the President, combining all of Stuart Woods' favorite characters. Stone is summoned to the White House where the President, Will Lee, asks him to go to St. Marks island and search for a killer who everyone thought was dead. The book is full of suspense and romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
