Not a bad ending, but not a good one either!!!

So I am a big Beck fan.  The music is spectacular and the story is fantastic.  I really enjoyed the series, but this last disc, and the whole Lucille story arc seemed rushed and unneeded.  I really don't understand why there were gangsters in this show what so ever.  Also, the main character does get the girl, but barely.  I'm still not sure if they are or not, I'm not looking for a down and dirty sex scene, but a better clarification would be nice!!!!!

I pre-ordered seeing that I'd really enjoyed the first book of the trilogy, even though the second not as much, but had to know how it all ended for the Taylors and Mercy, specifically.

It started out all over the place. I mean, you can practically feel the author trying desperately to connect everything and leave no loose ends. Fifty per cent in, it started getting a lot better: things started (sort of) falling into (a somewhat reasonable) place...until we reach the twist, which was good per se, but from there on I felt like all I was reading was the multiple potential endings the book could have had.

I don't know why the author had to keep pushing the story further like that...I mean, the story could've ended after the twist and it would've been fine for me. But then every few chapters kept moving in a different direction offering what would've been at least two other good endings, but still it kept going just to end in the most implausible and unsatisfying way. I mean, all we are left is with the picture of family relations worthy of a soap opera, when the story wasn't even going in that direction in the first place.

I'm disappointed...this author has serious potential, but this book was not worth my time and money. I'm giving it 3 stars, one for each of the good endings offered.

This is the continuation of the exact day that Afterlife ended, and now The Two Kings begins. I didn't really have much hope for this novel because I was so disappointed with the first one. And in the beginning there really isn't much difference from the first one when it comes to the writing style. However I do not like the fact that Keira has changed so much, it's like her personality did a complete one eighty, and not in a good way. I really thought she was a lot less shy than the was she acts in this one. And again like I've said before the romance just went way to quickly, and now it seems to go even more quickly. But at least in this one you have more conversations between Keira and Dominic than in the first one and that is a good thing!
There were a few things that happened in this book that I really felt held no meaning to the story line. Like some of the stuff that happened between Keira and Vincent, just didn't make a lot of sense to me, and I thought really didn't need to be in the book it just took up time, and held no meaning. I was seriously frustrated with this book because Keira and Dominic just kept going back and forth, constantly arguing it was driving me crazy!
And the ending has a cliffhanger. I really just didn't like this book at all, it seemed too long and drawn out with different things that had no meaning to the actual story. I will not be continuing this series, because I just ended up not liking it at all!

It was good but not great.  I hated the ending!  It was was to abrupt and did not offer any hint of the future.

It wasn't a terrible read and certain parts were very good and compelling however I feel like the author never committed to the story and left a lot of the plot hanging.  The ending was also a bit of a let down and too much left unanswered-- it left me with the feeling that the author wasn't quite sure how to end it and did the non-committal "we'll leave it up to you" kind of thing.  Super unsatisfying.  This said, there were some really scary parts and my nerves were pretty frayed at times.  All the more reason to be disappointed with a limp d ending.

I have liked other books by this author, but when I finished this one, I wondered "why did I waste my time." I don't recall how many pages it was, but it could have easily been condensed to half the amount! On top of that, it had a horrible ending in my opinion--which I won't say since I don't want to wreck the ending for anyone.  The "suspense" was not in the least suspenseful and was very predictable with no real twists compared to other well-written books. SPOILER ALERT: If you are an animal lover, don't read this book!

Not a horrible ending, but not a great one. Literally over two thirds exposition. You're lost throughout most of it.

This book started out great but fell by the wayside with ending.  The ending was disappointing......there was nothing to support
the villan.  Could someone please show me where there was any inkling that this person was the bad guy!  I do not like this in
stories.  It was interesting until ending...........

Parts of this book are okay...although the overwhelmed wife/mother feeling sorry for herself is getting a bit tiresome. This one was especially grating...she thought the world would stop if she took a nap. Maybe if parents gave their kids some chores, these mothers wouldn't be such wrecks, getting everything partially done and forgetting the other half. Also the ending became obvious to me too soon...
And Lisa's husband was a bit too good to be true.
Not nearly as good as "You Should Have Known" another of the spate of "domestic suspense coming out lately. Even "The Husband's Secret" was better although the ending was terrible.

I loved The Wrong Husband (part 1), and I was loving The Wrong Husband (part 2) up until the ending! The ending was horrible!!
I didn't even finish reading the last 7 pages or so because it was just too unbelievable.........just giving my honest opinion!

I am a long time Lee Child fan and have read all of his books.  This book, however makes me wonder if he is running out of new ideas.  the story line was just ok but if it had built to a Reacher type climax with an ending you could not predict, it could have been very good.  I thought, however, that the ending was very unsurprising, hard to believe and unnecessarily ruthless, even for Jack Reacher!
  If this is the way our government really works we are all in serious trouble.
  When one invests as much time as it takes to read a book such as this, one expects to think that the time was worthwhile and enjoyable.  Other than getting insights on how Reacher's military career ended I thought the book was pretty much a waste of time--mostly because of the uninspired ending!

Wasn't crazy about the writing style.  A terrible ending!  The crazy win!?!

Towards the end of the book it started to get more rushed than the rest. I'm highly disappointed with the ending period and the fact that there was no real use for this book!!! Day did not leave much for readers to grab onto for the next book, even when originally this was to be a trilogy series!!! Dragging the story out between them would be fine with me IF you gave us something besides a disappointing book! I waited and waited for this book and I am not at all happy with it! Unlike some of the other readers, I was pleased with the sex scenes and am happy that they got married, just not the way in which they did. I enjoy most of the characters. That is why this got two stars.

Horrible! Not scary, stupid storyline, and unfinished ending.

After reading, and thoroughly enjoying, three or four of Leslie's books, I was so let down by the anti-climatic ending of "Taker Of Lives", that I'm a little afraid of coming back to her.  The same characters did the same interesting police work...and the main character's narcissistic personality keeps you in the same love / hate relationship with her...but the ending is worth the same, "...what the hell just happened?..." question as did the ending of "The Birds", when A. Hitchcock turned me into a guy who wanted his money back.  It actually took me quite a while to recognize the character she chose to be the "unsub" (as word  so overused in all of her books that I found myself longing for the equally overused "perp").  Then the unraveling of the mysterious past of the "unsub" was so convoluted I was praying for the battery power of my tablet to become exhausted...must as I was plodding through the aftermath of the foiled crime.  Seeing she's four for five, a pretty impressive batting average, I think I'll be wading into another book today...hoping Leslie lives up to her previous "home runs" with Las Vegas Girl, Dawn Girl, A Glimpse of Death, and Watson Girl.

Im sorry did I miss something? This is not that bad of a book. Ive seen worse people(For those that rated this book a 1 star or 2).atleast it had a good ending.some storys weather dvd or a book dont. I mean If you think this story (youve been warned) was bad,you need to watch the movie shuttle that was a sad story.for one thing in YBW(Youve been warned)kristen was hilarious at times. And I know the ending takes you into a deep downward depressing plung but,...Well I won't give away the ending,But the ending does make you think about eternity. I guess this is a story you either love or you hate.
