I am not sure why I waited so long to read this Stuart novel..It was as I expected from this Author very good. I love her anti-hero's, and this one certainly was, a family serial killer as a matter of fact. Very crisp plotting and realisitc flawed characters. In all the years I have been reading her stuff however, I have never really gotten used to the abrupt endings. I always look for at least 1 more page to tidy things up, they are never forth coming. A fun read.

Without cracking open a page, I knew "Chasing Amanda" was going to be a great book. I had recently read Melissa Foster's "Megan's Way" and was so wrapped up in her writing style, that I knew she wouldn't disappoint. She didn't, in fact, I found it difficult to decide which book I loved more! "Chasing Amanda" is a book about regret, redemption, "gifts", the balancing of family and doing what's right, and so much more. Melissa is a master storyteller who can lead us masterfully from the horrors of a child's abduction to the resolution of another's with the finesse of a writer whose work is far beyond her years. She will have you drawn in like a lamb and have your emotions twisting inside of you before you know what's hit you! Characterization is key in this novel and it is achieved to such a fine point that each person is "living" and breathing in our minds. My favorite, of course, is Molly who has to live with seeing and not helping with a child's abduction. Molly's paranormal gift of "seeing and knowing" help her in her journey to understand many things, but it also makes some things in life more complex. As we are drawn into the complexities, and we're given different perspectives through the stories of different people that Melissa sets up, we struggle to sort out who the real villain is! Ms Foster's ability to keep the ending a secret from the reader is a lot of the powerfulness of her novel. The suspense will kill you! In a good way... One of the fascinating elements of the novel is Molly's relationship to the small town she finds herself in. We can understand this small town mentality...the secretive ways that so many townspeople hold dear...and the barriers to newcomers they put up. To live with the resistance of these people lends a tension to the story that works. Melissa is at the top of her game in writing this suspense thriller. It's great fun to read, engrossing and exciting with many characters that will grab you and claim your attention. The element of not knowing who the "bad guy" is until Molly finds out in the end, is wonderful because it keeps us working on the mystery. There are lots of women mystery/suspense writers, not so many with the element of paranormal...and not so many who come close to writing as well as Melissa Foster. "Chasing Amanda" has already won several awards for best women's novel, suspense/thriller, paranormal. You better check it out, soon! 5 stars for a great book and an author with a great future!

AWE-SOME.
This is a well written and riveting series of books. There are many surprising twists to the story line. They may not be for everyone as there are graphic and violent details. The last two books of the 7 book series have not been published. Therefore, I recommend that you wait to read any of them until all the books have been written. I don't know how many years I will have to wait now to complete the series.

آهو، سلندر، طلحک و دیگران فیلم نامه ای ست در سه بخش، که بخش آخر آن "طلحک" مثل بسیاری از کارهای بیضایی از سنت های نمایشی قدیم ایران الهام گرفته و بخش زیبای اثر است. بیضایی در زمینه ی ادبیات نمایشی ما اثر گذارترین قلم در پنج دهه ی اخیر بوده است. بیضایی سنت نمایشی ما را هم خوب می شناسد. خواندن بیضایی را، بهررو توصیه می کنم. https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
Ms. Butler combines the slave narrative with conventions of science fiction in this novel. Dana is a black woman living in the late 1970's with her white husband Kevin. She is transported back in time to the 1800's in order to save the life of her white, slaveholder ancestor. Once, Kevin is transported with her. She spends quite a bit of time in this period and is treated as a slave. Her 20th century upbringing and sensibilities quail at this and she tries to affect some change, at times with disastrous results. She is forever changed, both physically and mentally by this experience. While I am quite used to stories of time travel, the slave narrative is new to me. This book was loaned to me by my African American co-worker when she found out I liked science fiction. I would imagine this book reads more like a slave narrative than science fiction, as the time travel is just a device to place the protagonist in this setting. Her experiences are heartbreaking, and remind us that it wasn't too terribly long ago that people of African decent were treated as less than human.
Man, I really enjoyed the first two books of the Virgil Flowers series. These aren't traditional detective novels...you're not meant to figure the mystery with the detective. But they are good action novels with fun characters. Oh...and Virgil and I tend to listen to the same music, so there you have it.
写的精彩续集,等不及最后一本书了!
