Review of I See You (Paperback)

I SEE YOU is the third of Lisle's romantic suspense books.It returns to the setting of the first one, MIDNIGHT RAIN, and uses Brig as a main character rather than a secondary one.(On a side note, it's nice to hear even the tiny glimpses that are included about Alan and Phoebe, though for a moment I expected them to actually make an appearance.)

The mystery and suspense element of the book is very strong, and one of the things Lisle's readers can rely on.She gives enough hints that a very, VERY astute reader could, theoretically, figure out the plot twists before the main characters do.Most readers, however (including yours truly) will figure out only enough hints to point them in the wrong direction.Instead of being annoying, however, this only serves to increase the tension.

The romantic scenes in I SEE YOU are also well written.They flow realistically from the characters' personalities and situations rather than being there just to have sex scenes.In fact, all of the characters are fully developed, and their actions reflect their personalities in the non-romance scenes, also.

I SEE YOU is less gory than its predecessors.The paranormal element is present, though I won't give away any details about it.In all, this is a very good addition to a set of highly recommended books.

Review of Every Demon Has His Day (Paperback)

Constance Plyd can't believe her husband, Jimmy, is dead.All she'd wanted him to do was sign the divorce papers but no, he put Tide in her dishwasher and then manages to get killed by a demon!Sheriff Nathan Garrett doesn't want to believe that Constance is responsible but she's the only witness to the murder.Is he letting his guilt over the past interfere with the investigation?Or is Constance's story true that a demon killed Jimmy and now the Devil intends to impregnate a ditzy virgin to bring about the birth of the Antichrist?Constance and Nathan will have their hands full as the situation is only going to get wackier....

Hilarious!Cara Lockwood had me laughing throughout EVERY DEMON HAS HIS DAY.From Jimmy's history of mishaps to the whole concept of a talking dog, the story is chock full of humor.Cara Lockwood keeps the tone upbeat, even as the world is crashing around Constance.

Constance is a great heroine.Her disbelief at the unbelievable events makes her all the more credible.I particularly love the distinguishing moniker of "Dead Jimmy" she uses for her now-deceased husband as it adds yet another bit of quirkiness to the tale.The romance between Constance and Nathan is sweet and builds over the course of the tale as both must learn to trust the other.EVERY DEMON HAS HIS DAY is a bit outrageous at times, but that is part of the fun.Easily recommended!
