Not as good as the others in this series

This story has a definite depressing effect. I loved the other books in this series and was looking forward to this one. I was disappointed in The White Princess. But maybe her life was like that, however it ended too soon. Wish it had told more about her later life.

Disappointed!  This book was not as good as the others in this series.  Too much of the same story repeated, however, story did finish well and closed the series, (I think). I will continue to follow this author for future books,.

Disappointing, not nearly as good as the earlier books in this series. It was as if the author was relying on the charm and plots of the previous characters and their stories to uphold this one. The end was a series of drawn out cameos of the old characters. There was not an intriguing enough plot or sympatico for the new characters in this book to flesh it out. I bought it expecting as good a read as the others books and was severely let down.

This was my least favorite book in this series. Half way through the book I found that I was bored. I finished it because I love this author and series but just felt this was a bit flat. Very little humor, wit, some what predictable and the characters bored me.

The other books in the series were better. Main character and his humor where not in evidence as much as previous books.  Still it was a quick read and a different setting from normal.

Actually I love Linda Fairstein's Alex Cooper books, and I have read every one. With that said, I did not find this particular book in the series as interesting or as personally motivating to "not put it down" as most of the others. I did not find good continuity between this book and the previous one relative to the personal relationship between Alex and Mike Chapman and I thought the story line somewhat choppy. Clues being grabbed out of thin air without much foundation and some pretty far fetched. So, a good read but not up to par relative to the other books in the series

I love Leeanna Morgan's books, this book was good. But it was kind of a let down where the other books were concerned. I think the other books in the series were much better.

Not as good as some of the other in this series.  But still a good read to keep up with the series.

Not as good as previous books in the series. The story was moving to slowly for me a lot of the time.

I love this series but this book was a miss for me. It had a lot of drag and the action/angst just wasn't felt. It was by no means horrible, just not my favorite.

Not sure if it was the flashbacks or the constantly repeating struggle Ella and Quin had over who's fault it was that they weren't together, but this was not the best story in this series. I couldn't stand the flashbacks and when the story finally stayed in the present, the constant "it's my fault ... no it's my fault" stuff was dragged on a little too long. The other books in the series were much better done.

Not on par with the other books in the series.  It was like the story was being forced and didn't flow well.  I look forward to reading about the other characters that were introduced in this book.

I enjoyed the other books in the series, however, this one just didn't match the others. I found this one boring and was unable to finish it... Disappointing.

I have been reading and enjoying this series since the beginning but this one was not one of my favorites.  I found the mystery to be pretty weak in this one.  I really enjoyed how Jill and Greg's relationship was growing in the last book and she stopped keeping so many secrets but she is back to her old ways in this one.  Once again she is lying to Greg about her sleuthing and puts herself in danger.  It was obvious who the killer was but she still confronts the killer with no backup.  The previous book in this series was published in June 2015 and this book read like it was hastily written. There were areas that would have benefited with better editing.  I would prefer to have a longer wait between books with a better book.  This series should be read in order as previous mysteries are mentioned in this one.  Sometimes more than once.  Read this one to keep up with the series.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review

while I love this series, the writing in this one seemed different - more rushed perhaps?  It was not at the same level as previous books in the series and no new ground was covered.  I was a little disappointed.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others.  It seemed like it wasn't wrote as well.  Ms. Harris appeared to want to get to the end of it in a hurry.  The new characters that are introduced in this one aren't described well and the familiar characters don't form any kind of true bond with them.  The newer characters (were-panthers) that were wrote about last book aren't developed anymore in detail either even though it's were-animals getting shot.  I think the idea of the book was a good one but it was almost like Ms. Harris treated this as a middle book that she had a lot to get accomplished in and was going to do it in a very little amount of pages.  Just too rushed.  You have to read it though if you are a fan of the series because some things get said that I think you may want to know for the next book.  I'll probably continue reading but if this is the way she is going to continue with writing the series then I may not read many more of her books.
