Yep, do avoid this one :)<br /><br />Lori - I know, I love McKenna too and I didn't want to believe the hype. I had to read the book for myself. Personally, if you want to read the book, I say read the second story and then stop. It was the best IMO and the other two are just a repeat.<br /><br />Kaetrin - Sometimes I think was was even harder on this book because I know that McKenna can write a good story. This just wasn't it, though.<br /><br />Leontine - Yes, I don't think I touched on that, but the suspense was wrapped up so quickly. Also, I am not a fan of reading about the psycho bad guy. I don't like getting in his head, hearing all his dirty, nasty thoughts. Yuck! That is just a pet peeve of mine and McKenna tends to do this with her creepy villians.Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-31772015640247927472009-09-26T02:16:54.903-04:002009-09-26T02:16:54.903-04:00Hi Jill,

I'll stick to full-length novels in the future!Leontinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772385054579881436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-89616605661107723192009-09-26T02:13:22.725-04:002009-09-26T02:13:22.725-04:00I liked it better than you did! But I agree with ...I liked it better than you did! But I agree with your criticisms too. I found the first story the most frustrating. That's the one (for my money) that would have been the best as a full length novel. There were holes in it that needed to be filled in with more story. I do enjoy Ms. McKenna's books but this wasn't my favourite of hers. Still, I would have given it a C/C- myself.Kaetrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936055488367251592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-54220963694613698222009-09-25T21:53:54.264-04:002009-09-25T21:53:54.264-04:00I am so disappointed by all the reviews I'm re...I am so disappointed by all the reviews I'm reading on this one. I'm such a McKenna crack ho, but I just can't see any of her stuff working in novella format. She did that other one that didn't do a whole lot for me either.

But I g...LOL, it's not a harsh review, Jill :)<br /><br />But I get what you're saying though. Perhaps it would have worked better if not all three novellas were in one book. Ah well, we'll never know now ^_^;<br /><br />I don't read Ms McKenna, and if I ever start on her, I'll be avoiding this one :)nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.com
