I bought it to read on the plane. Thank goodness I had knitting along as well (I finished a sock and then, luckily, my seatmate finished People magazine!) I believe this is the first book that I've tried to read by Ms. Johansen, it will be the last. I'll pass it on to some friends that are fans of the genre and get their feedback, but I can't see that I will need to check out this author again (although it does sound like several of the previous reviewers have enjoyed Ms. Johansen's earlier works).
I thought that what might be keeping me from enjoying the book was because I hadn't read earlier works and am not familiar with the characters of Joe and Eve (who did intrigue me). The Trevor character confused me and the whole initial meeting between Trevor, Joe, and Eve struck me as a bit off . . . I'm not sure that the reader should be questioning the character before the other characters do the questioning . . .
This book is just bad on so many levels . . . I'm not even halfway into it and will abandon it. Thank goodness many of the airport newsstands now make a "Read and Return" offer and don't care whether or not the customer enjoyed the book!

Horrible is the only way I can describe this book. The plot was silly and the story was boring. This was the worst book I have read in 4 yrs.

After reading a couple of Iris Johansen's books, I thought that this book would be entertaining and a fun read. My main complaint with this book was the lack of character development/relationship between Jane and Cira. Where was the connection? Just because someone has a close resemblance does not make them the same. I felt like Ms. Johansen began with a neat plot twist but let it get lost between the pages. I would suggest taking less time weaving a frayed "fantastic plot" and more time with actual character and story development.

I am getting ready to move to our new house and needed a new book to read. Well for some reason this one did not get packed so I grabbed it. What a waste of time. First of all Jane has to be one of the most annoying characters I have come across in a long time. I was actually cheering for Aldo to kill her just so she would shut up. Then Trevor (an adult male) having a crush on Jane (a 17 year old girl) was just creepy. I do not care if he was there to try and help no preverted man who is lusting after my high school daughter is coming into our lives.
The plot was pathetic and after all the building up to catch Aldo the writer ends the climax in like two paragraphs.
DO NOT WASTE YOU TIME !!!

This was sad. I hate it when one of my favorite authors burns out. This drivel was a waste of paper. I read firestorm, and it stinks too. I guess Johansen has lost it.
