Someone recommended this series for me. I saw it as an add-on option for $1 on Ebay, figured "What the Heck?" Interesting concept. It's kind of like a 100 Bullets meets Grimm Fairy Tales book. Since I dig those two series, I did like this book. In afterthought, I probably should've started with volume 1 but, that being said, the concept isn't that difficult to follow.
The only thing I had a problem with in this beautifully written novel was how this one seed was planted that I kept expecting to grow into something and it never did (the threat of her husband finding out about her affair). But I think Fox meant to keep it realistic that way. It's a short novel and everything is deliberate, even the tangents and seemingly small details point to character traits. This novel also seems to be particularly relevant now because of the similarities of this time period to ours--racial politics and the war in the novel to our present day struggles with civil rights and war.
I thought it was a great book! Easy reading!

Review originally posted here: http://thebookpushers.com/2011/10/24/... Publisher: Mira Publish Date: October 25th How I got this book: NetGalley I absolutely love Burton’s stuff, so when she first announced that she was coming out with a romantic suspense book, I did a little happy dance. Anna went through an extremely traumatic event as a young girl: she was attacked and almost killed, was saved by her boyfriend and his foster brothers. When her boyfriend Dante leaves after that night, Anna continues on. When Dante returns twelve years later, Anna is upset and scared, because suddenly people she loves start dying. Dante never wanted to leave Anna, but thought he was doing what was best. When the killer seems fixated on her, Dante sticks to her side and does anything and everything he can to protect her. But with Anna having difficulties trusting him, Dante worries that he might not be able to earn her trust before the killer makes his move. It’s no secret I love romantic suspense books, especially ones that can keep me guessing who the bad guy is until the very end. And although Burton did that, at times I felt like she didn’t get us enough information to make a guess as to who the bad guy was. I went through about seven different guesses throughout the whole book, and one that I had guessed and discounted fairly early as the actual killer. I did really like Anna and Dante though. Although the two went through some insane history together, they also didn’t jump right back into each other’s arms when Dante came back to town. Anna took her time figuring out what she really wanted and if she could really trust him. I appreciated the hesitancy she had in getting involved once again. I also thought that the way she had to struggle through the case, the panic attacks and the fear she went through was very well done. I was totally scared for her as well throughout the book. I even shed some tears with her as well. Burton did an amazing job creating a believable and realistic character that really spoke to me. I loved Dante. I’ve always been a sucker for bad boys, and Dante is as sexy as one gets. He was so dedicated to Anna even as a kid, and that dedication and devotion showed through in every single action of his. I loved their scenes together, especially when he took care of her during her panic attacks. While he was sweet and endearing during those times, he was also capable of being absolutely ruthless when he needed to be. Loved it! I thought the secondary cast of characters were great as well. I was totally bummed because Burton killed off quite a few characters that I would have liked to see more of, namely Jeff (one of Dante’s foster brothers) and Anna’s father. I absolutely fell head over heels for Gabe, and I hope and pray that Burton will write his story, because I think there was so much more to him than what was on the surface! All in all I really enjoyed this romantic suspense book. I thought the suspense and mystery around the killer was done really well, without giving away too much to feel like you knew what would happen. I thought the romance progressed wonderfully and was both steamy and romantic. I sincerely hope that Burton continues writing romantic suspense novels in the future! I give The Heart of a Killer a B

very cute story. It;s about a sock monkey that went on an awesome adventure. The Illustrations are so cute too.
I'm kind of relieved I finished this book because now I can have my life back. The trouble with these historical thrillers is that I CAN'T PUT THEM DOWN. And at the same time I'M HORRIBLY EMBARRASSED to be reading them. So it can be tricky to always be reading a book you want to keep secret. The Templar Legacy taps into the legend of the Knights of Templars' lost treasure. It's a good premise (I mean, hello, lost treasure), but the puzzles were kind of lame, and the background characters were too confusing to keep track of. I felt like I was trying to see the countryside in a speeding car: I knew there were some finer plot points I was missing, but I'd be damned if I slowed down long enough to process them. All in all, The Templar Legacy kept me entertained, and it probably won't be too long before I reach for another Steve Berry book. Maybe this time I'll craft an alternative book cover out of a paper bag.

This book is life-changing, and it captures the sentiment of the anti-colonial struggle: the first time a colonized people recognizes that it has been lied to for generations, the first time the colonized person breaks these lies at the barrel of a gun, and the pitfalls of national liberation that are to be avoided once liberation is wrested from the hands of the oppressors. Perhaps the most striking part of this book is the final section, where Fanon discusses his psychological profiles of liberation fighters, colonial guards, and colonial victims. Liberate your soul from the colonization of everyday life. Find out how in this book.
Interesting portrayal of the WWII time, and the new respect gained by leaders for Navajo language to keep enemy from intercepting messages. Contrast described for wartime vs having to hide use of Navajo language in the boarding schools children were sent to.
This book is worth reading for the mere fact that it combines the talents of arguably the two very best of the "Scribblies", a Minneapolis writers' group that spawned a lot of successful fantasy writing careers in the '80s. Bull and Brust are both brilliant in their own right, so it's no surprise that a joint effort is successful. It's a historical piece set in 19th century England, written in a style used at that time in which the story is told as a series of letters between the characters. It's pulled off well, allowing the fortes of both Brust (intrique and plot twists) and Bull (characters) to shine. The story is much more interesting in one of its contexts than as a standalone piece of work, so it's probably best enjoyed either by fans of the authors or people intersted in the letter-writing format.

I struggled with this one... Honestly, I believe Elizabeth struggles with depression. However, I also believe that Elizabeth was a spoiled brat who refused to be held accountable for any of her actions. Accidental blow jobs? Stop it. I wanted people to stop baying her, and I wanted her to truly hit rock bottom. I think she is a wanna be Sylvia Plath and I hate I wasted my time reading this... it annoyed me to no end. The movie was better.
