Search - Wicked Game (Colony, Bk 1)

I have given up on Lisa Jackson, the stories might not be bad but the content is just too much description and in this case you get no where in the first half of the book. By the time I got to page 200 I was bored beyond bored and just skipped to the last chapter which tells the whole story, so I didn't miss anything story wise in the last 200 pages.

This is one of Lisa's sorriest I've encounted. It takes the co-authors a minimum of three pages to cover one page of story line. I wasn't able to finish beyond chapter five...

This could have been an ok book, but dragged on with repetition and an extremely lame conclusion. Come to think about it, the middle of it was pretty unrealistic, too, and it would need work throughout to make it into a believable story. The characters were not likable, imo, and the "heroine" turned out to be TSTL (Too Stupid To Live). Also, for some unfathomable reason, none of the characters were forthcoming with information to police regarding a murder investigation, but somehow thought it was important to get together and discuss it amongst themselves, which had no benefit whatsoever. I've read many of Lisa Jackson's books and enjoyed them so am not sure what happened here. Was it due to the influence of her sister, whom I've never read? Whatever, their editor should have told them to get real and do some rewriting so didn't read like a sixth grader plotted it.

This book is not about ghosts as suggested by a previous review. It was a little slow to get into but once I started reading I enjoyed it very much. This was my first time reading a Lisa Jackson book. I would recommend to anyone who likes a mystery with a love story mix.

liked it

I enjoyed the suspense and was unable to figure it out in advance. good read.
