Love Lisa Jackson,
By
This review is from: Wicked Lies (Paperback)
Being Lisa Jackson, there is a little deception, a little romance, some psychic powers, and a lot of action, filling the pages. I have to admit that I've never read Nancy Bush but the combination of these authors has led to a fast, fun read.The first thing I loved about this book, and the thing I loved the most, is that these two talented authors named their psychotic maniac 'Justice'. While it's true he was out to execute his own sense of justice on the sssssisssterssss, it would be a justice that normal people would call murder and mayhem. His mind did work in amazing ways, though, genius really. And (here's your forshadowing moment) he's not the only one. The sisters he is after live an almost cultish life in "the colony". Well, most of them do. Some have managed to move out into the real world and assimilate. Those are the ones Justice goes after first. All of the sisters are interesting characters in their own rights and each has a special 'gift'. Laura's 'gift' is that Justice can talk to her mind. Ya, that would be the 'gift' I would choose if I had a choice. Laura didn't have a choice and she's stuck with this psycho in her brain. There are at least three mysteries going on at the same time and this is not at all confusing. (seriously) The authors manage to keep it all separate and easy to follow. The only problem I had with the book was the inclusion of the sub-plot involving the teenage brothers. It just seemed contrived to take up space. Luckily their part in the novel is quite small and so it doesn't really detract from the suspense or flow of the story. The romance is truly romance and doesn't spill over into erotica, which is the way I like my romance. Keep the tension up and leave lots to the imagination. We're talking true love here, not just a case of overbearing lust. Made my heart beat a little faster *sigh*. A friend of mine told me this the other day: 'Books are like chocolate, sometimes you want to try something new and exotic but other times you just want a (insert favorite chocolate bar here). You want to know exactly what you are getting and enjoy it.' (credit Nikki - thanks my friend!) That's the way I feel as well. It's fun to read all these new authors and find new books but sometimes I crave the known. 'Wicked Lies' filled that craving.

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN,

This review is from: Wicked Lies (Paperback)
I am a great fan of Lisa Jackson. When I started reading this book I had bought it to read on the bus to and from work. But that didn't happen. I picked it up and read it straight through. Took me a day and a night.Lisa Jackson to me gets the reader from the 1st page. I have read at least 14 of her books and every one I enjoy. I especially liked "MALICE". But she has a wonderful gift to write these books. It amazes me when I start reading I think now what can she put on the next page and it just gets better and better. I will always read her books.

Not up to par with their other books.,
By MJ - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wicked Lies Library Bound (Hardcover)
First off, I love Lisa Jackson but WIcked Lies written with her sister Nancy Bush was one of the longest, most boring books I have ever read. The only reason I finished it was because I bought the hardcover instead of waiting for the paperback to come out. You can tell there are two different styles of writing and they tend to repete themselves quite a bit. Also a few typo's that drove me crazy. They have a staff to check for that stuff and when a non writer can find them then they should too.On the plus side, the story line was good but just dragged on way too long. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Talking In Circles,
By Kristen1984 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wicked Lies (Paperback)
As a longtime fan of Lisa Jackson I anticipated the release of Wicked Lies but, by the end of the first chapter, I knew that this novel was not going to live up to her others. It was, in fact, probably THE worst Lisa Jackson novel on the market, part of which I attribute to the collaborative work with her sister, Nancy Bush.The plot outline sounds exciting; the words are anything but. The storyline is a classic case of "it's 384 pages but could have been told in 200", extremely repetitive and littered with numerous typographical errors [ie: Kirsten and Kirstin used within the same sentence]. The end of the novel is typical of those in a series and provides questions rather than answers. Though my curiosity is peaked in regard to a few, the questions will go unanswered as I doubt I'll be able to read my way through another "colony" novel. If you're a fan of Jackson I'd highly recommend passing this one over. It taints her image more than it builds it. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Promising plot ruined by repetition and bad writing,
By J. Yu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wicked Lies (Paperback)
The plot sounds great, but at least a third of this book could have been trimmed and you wouldn't miss it, including two pointless subplots and extra characters. I downloaded the book not realizing it was a sequel. There's a lot of awkward backstory and repetition. How many times do we need to be reminded that the heroine is pregnant with her ex-husband's baby or that the psychotic killer is a psychopath? And don't forget the exclamation points! Without those, we wouldn't know it was exciting.The main characters fall in love right away and then spend a lot of time thinking about whether or not they're in love as they run around hiding from and looking for the killer--who, by the way, is ssssuper ssssilly, with his spelled out hissing sounds. The writing seemed very amateurish and riddled with errors, but I persevered to the ludicrous, almost comical climax, hoping for some exciting pay off. I was sorry I bothered. |
