One of J. D. Robb's best ...,
By Dia (West Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
Normally, I hate short stories but J.D. Robb is a superb exception. Her contribution to this anthology, "Possession in Death," is absolutely one of her best. I wish it had been a stand-alone title.

Great book,
By keb124 "bekka" - Published on Amazon.com
I loved the J D Robb story! I have always been a fan of the "in Death" series, and this is a winner. It's amazing how the character of Eve has evolved over the storyline and I love the fact that Roarke beleived her without question. Since this was a short story, it didn't have all the extras of a full J D Robb book, but the story was so entertaining that I didn't feel cheated. I thought the other stories were so-so, but then again it's hard to compete with Nora when she's on top of her game.

Possession in death review,
By Amy R. - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
Everytime an anthology including a JD Robb novella/short story is released, I will admit that the in death novella is the only one I read so the review will only be that of Possession in death. Possession picks up where the last in death, Indulgence, left off. For those who were disappointed with Indulgence's ending will have a nice little surprise at the beginning with the second interrogation discussed and the actual cookout which was set up in Indulgence. The novellas have a paranormal focus which is totally opposite of Eve's rational side so it is always an interesting combination. Eve is having a hard time after wrapping up the last case and wondering if what she does ever enough for her victims. She comes across a woman in the streets who has been stabbed. While trying to save her, something weird happens and she is possessed by the spirit of the victim. The victim was Gizi, a romanian gypsy, in NY looking for her great granddaughter, Beata, who has disappeared. The novella is short at 80 pages and fast paced so the main focus is that these incidences are most likely related and finding the murderer of Gizi will lead to finding Beata, who Gizi believed was still alive.The short stories are always an added bonus in between the full length in death books. All the favorite characters are featured with most of them in the beginning at the cookout. Eve has matured so much in the course of the series. It is also an interesting mix of people that Eve now calls family. Marriage to Roarke seems to suit her and she is more comfortable in their relationship in their second year of marriage. For someone who started off with no family and living alone in a dumpy apartment, she has definitely come a long way. 13 of 16 people found the following review helpful

Hated it!,
By A. Ryan "AJRyan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
I love the "In Death" series. I really do.I HATED this book with a passion. I don't mind some sort of "paranormal" elements in what is not a "paranormal" series, but once a "non-paranormal" book in a series goes full-on fantastical paranormal and wants to present that as reality, I have a BIG problem. A series is either Paranormal or its not. For example, in a paranormal book, there's vampires. In a non-paranormal book, there are people who THINK they are vampires. HUGE difference. You don't take a non-paranormal book and throw in a real vampire, and just expect us to accept that as a part of the "realistic" world that you've created. It doesn't work. You might as well have had Eve riding around New York City on a unicorn. I realize that more than likely, readers were supposed to take this installment of the series as just a light-hearted, fun, interlude within the series. Ok. But, lighthearted and fun doesn't have to mean completely implausible. I'm really disapointed at what seems to me to be the theme of the novella as a whole dictating the "In Death" story, rather than the other way around as it should be. Because when the theme of the novella dictates, we take established characters and throw them into situations that, again are completely unrealistic and implausible, and that would never have been written otherwise, and for me, that ruins it. I also realize I'm probably in the minority in my complete dislike for this book. So, what I felt for this book may not be what most people will feel. I just wanted to caution readers that they're going to be taken into a complete fantasy "fan-fictionish" world here with this book, and it may not be what you expect from this series. |
