Book Reviews of Absolute Fear (New Orleans, Bk 5)

This was just fabulous. It's another book in the series of the Bentz/Montoya and Our Lady of Virtue sanitarium.

It's amazing how Lisa Jackson has connected Absolute Fear, Cold Blooded, Hot Blooded, and Shiver. The same characters keep popping up. And I was absolutely STUNNED with the ending of Absolute Fear. I just know she'll be writing another soon. LOVE this writer! :)

This book was fantastic! Lisa Jackson does a great job of weaving her characters together in a way that is relevant to the story. The ending of this book was perfect. Concludes this novels story but,leaves alot of possibilities open for future novels.

If you are a fan of Lisa Jackson don't miss this one. If you have never read her before,give this one a try!

In her stunning follow up to the 2006 best seller "Shiver," Lisa Jackson has proven that there's room for a little romance amid all the death and depravity. Absolute Fear is part of the Bayou series, which includes, "Hot Blooded, Cold Blooded, and Shiver." The plot line is in depth and complicated yet developed simultaneously with the characters, in such a way that Absolute Fear stands on its own. This book has it all, child abuse, scandalous behavior within the church, unethical medical practices, sex, murder and mayhem. Having enjoyed this novel on every conceivable level, I have added all three previous titles to my list of must reads.

Absolute Fear is an Absolute Best Seller! Lisa Jackson has continued her series, while creating a novel that stands tall on its own merit. Jackson's ability to explore the inner workings of this characters depraved mind is an astonishing literary feat, that should not be overlooked. Successfully delivering to the reader a fright filled journey into the dark recesses of a madman's desires, while maintaining a relationship filled with explosive passion places Lisa Jackson in the company of the best! This book has the perfect mix of secrets, lust and murder to keep readers coming back again and again. And with the door left open at the conclusion, we can hope that there will be another installment.

This book was a great page truner will keep you guessing

This book starts out slow but grabs you soon

For the past three months, Eve Renner has struggled to remember the night she was nearly killed and her lover was tried for murder. She remembers getting the anxious call from a friend from her past: "Meet me at the cabin. I've got evidence" She remembers seeing that friend lying in a pool of blook. And she remembers a horrifying glimpse of her lover Cole Dennis's face as a gunshot plunged her into darkness. Now, her memory and emotions scarred. Eve has returned to New Orleans to forget the past. But the past will not be forgotten. Eve's shattered memory has helped Cole walk on murder charges just as a new series of killings begins. The lasest murders are bizarre and baffling. The victims are killed in a ritual fashion, a series of numbers tattooed into their bodies. 212,101,111,323. There is no clue to their meaning, no connection to the victims except once: Our Lady of Vitures Hospital, the crumbling old asylum that was once the scene of unspeakable madness. For Eve, it was a second home as a child. Her father was a doctor there, and she spent hours exploring its secret chambers, hidden rooms, and forbidden passageways. Somewhere in its decaying rooms lied the key to a terrible crime, a betrayal beyond imaging, whose echos are now being felt with a vengence-a c rime that seems to lead to Eve herself. And the only man she can trust with the search is Cole, her former lover and just possibly, a cold blooded killer.

This book is really good. I love that it grabs you right from the start! Great author! This book is one you cant put down :)

What a great book- kept me guessing until the very end. WHO is the bad guy?

Another great book by Lisa Jackson. It was a real "page turner."

Absolute page turner. The research and fore thought involved in writing this book is absolutly mind boggling. As you read and she brings clues to light the reader is awed by how it all pulls together. You will not regret getting this one!

good book - love this author

Too many implausible coincidences. Ending seemed hurried and forced to me. Did not like the way the next book in the series was set up in the ending of this one. I agree with a previous reviewer...did not believe that Kristi would be the one to foresee the future..should have been Olivia.
This book did not live up to previous books by Lisa Jackson.

I liked this book but thought it was a little drawn out

I was not overly impressed with this book. The story was good, but the book had some obvious contradictions (or poor editing?) The ending was not believable because it was Kristi, if it had been Olivia I would have understood it.

This was a very good book!
