Review
'WITHOUT MERCY blends murder mystery with romance and religious conspiracy and should appeal to fans of all three.' -- West Australian 20100401 'A fast-paced and surprisingly complex story... . The depiction of the protagonist... reaches an unusual depth, and the crisp, skillful language infuse every sentence with suspense...will keep readers riveted.' -- Publisher's Weekly 20100401 'As a beach read, this is a cracker.

Product Description
An exclusive school with a terrifying secret ...Ever since her father was stabbed to death, Jules Farentino has been plagued by nightmares. Her teenaged sister Shay has reacted with a rap sheet for drug use, theft and vandalism. Still, when her mother decides to send Shay to an elite boarding school in Oregon, Jules is worried. The Academy has a reputation for turning wayward kids around - but one of its students went missing six months ago and her body has never been found. On impulse, Jules applies for a teaching job at the Academy. Just before she arrives, a student is found hanged, and a hysterical Shay believes it was murder. Then another girl goes missing, and yet another is found dead. Behind the Academy's idyllic veneer lurks an evil force on a brutal and terrifying mission. And Jules is the next target of a bloodthirsty killer without limits, without remorse, without mercy.

Not like the others..., Jun 6 2010
By WeekendMarian - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Without Mercy (Hardcover)
Lisa Jackson books are must-reads for me and yet I truly struggled to get through this one. The plot was fast-moving and complicated enough to keep the reader interested, but the characters just didn't make sense to me at all. It isn't a good sign when you find yourself agreeing with the evil mother in book instead of your heroine! Likewise, it was clear why I was supposed to find the hero attractive but I had no idea why our heroine was in love with him other than...she just never got over him? Why??? This book was okay to kill time but didn't keep me interested enough to pay all that much attention. I would definitely rather go back and read some of her other novels.

An edge of the seat read, Mar 31 2010

Ce commentaire est de: Without Mercy (Hardcover)
Jules Farentino's half sister, Shay is such a trouble maker. Unfortunately, Shay has used up all of her chances. Their mother sends Shay to Blue Rock Academy. A school for troubled teens. Jules has a bad feeling about Blue Rock Academy. Jules's mother tells Jules there is nothing to worry about. Yeah then why has Lauren Conway, a student at Blue Rock Academy been missing for six months and no one knows of her whereabouts? Jules must find a way to get Shay out of Blue Rock Academy before she becomes the next victim.Without Mercy really packs the punches and the adrenaline rush. I am a big fan of Lisa Jackson's and have read almost all of her books. I have to admit that it has been a little while since I have enjoyed myself reading one of her books, until now. The ending for this book leaves much to be desired. I know it is intentional as there will be a follow up book. I just finished this one and already am impatient for the next one. Julies is a fighter. She is the best big sister anyone could ask for. Shay turned out to be a huge surprise. I don't want to get on her bad side. Without Mercy will make you scream mercy for more!

Disappointing mishmash thriller, Aug 3 2010
By Possibility - Published on Amazon.com
This was my first venture in Lisa Jackson's world and I was soooooo disappointed with this book. If I were asked to describe the book in two words, I would say it was boring and tedious. I can't believe I read it to the end! Well, in fact, I didn't... I was listening to it on audiobook, so at least I was busy doing other things and don't feel that I totally wasted my time. I would never have put up with it in print. The premise was interesting, but the delivery was unconvincing and surprisingly boring, with barely enough suspense to keep me going hoping that it would eventually deliver - which, by the way, it never did.As for the ending, it was so ludicrous!... Did anyone in the publishing company actually read that novel before it was printed?! I do wonder.
Listmania!
