Shutter Island

It’s a simple story of nothing is as it appears to be. It’s quite difficult to review this book without giving away too much. Let me just say it’s worth the read. A pair of US Marshalls go to an island in Boston Harbor that houses a hospital for the Criminal Insane to investigate a patient’s disappe ... (

I loved returning to the world of vamps, weres, & faes. There was a lot in this story but it tied up some storylines from previous books. This book was dedicated to Sookie getting some thongs in her head & heart straight. Overall, it was a good book. Looking forward to the next

JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series gets better with each book. Book two tells the story of Rhage and his unlikely love for a human. The story had me in tears and ready to grab the next book.

A must read! My mother was going on and on about this book. And she was so right! Its a wonderful Christian based book that lets the characters be real people. Makes you really think how you would handle if all our technology came to a stop...ALL technology. What would you do if you couldn't turn th ... (

This one seemed a little lacking compared to the others but that being said, this one tied a ton of loose ends together and set up alot of potential stories in the future. Loved the ending!

Just when you think a character can't become anymore developed Charlaine Harris makes Miss Sookie Stackhouse grow and grow. I like how each of these books Harris explains something from a previous story that helps connect each story, each character, and helps to make the world they all live in so be ... (

Dekker has a knack for fast paced, page turning, thrill a minute writing and he didn't let us down with this one. It's more than just a thriller. Each chapter builds the suspense and you never see the twists and turns that come. I didn't see the end coming as it did and quite honestly I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It's good. It fits the life of the story and saying that, I think when my emotions over the book come to a rest I'll completely accept the ending.
The story is told from the heroine's point of view. I use the word heroine loosely because she is a very unlikely hero. She's flawed and at times annoying in her weakness. But in that weakness is a realist strength I think many of us can relate to. She tells her story and then in the next chapter the story of the hero, Priest Danny Hansen's story is told. This goes on until their paths cross and as they say the plot thickens! I don't want to give too much away. This book is great. I really enjoy Dekker's style. It has some violence and at times some may think a little to graphic in that area but I found it appropriate. You quickly build a relationship with these two unlikely heroes and find yourself cheering them on in their vigilantly style justice. You could dig into the pages and find all sorts of allegoric meaning but for me this was simply an entertaining, thrill a minute book. There aren't too many places in this book that you can rest without a twist or shock coming at you. I loved it and will probably reread it. It was that good.
Here's a run down: Ex-Bosnian Danny Hansen, now Father Hansen is a priest who dispenses his own brand of justice to right the wrongs done to woman and children. Renee Gilmore is an ex-heroin addict who was rescued only to lose the man that saved her to mysterious circumstances. Their paths cross while after the same evil man. Nothing seems to go as planned. What happens next you won't see coming.
I recommend this book highly. I've read other Dekker books (mostly the fantasy ones) and enjoyed them but this was the best I've read of him. I'll be looking into some of his other thrillers. He has an excellent command of language and emotes emotions through pages of the book. You don't feel that you are reading words but feeling the events take place. I look for this book to quickly become a best seller like many of his other books. He's a got a gift for finding not only the right words but also an imagination that keeps you riveted.
