Reviews
I loved this book so much that I'm hoping Nora Roberts adds a sequel - it was a great read!
This is my first book from Nora Roberts and my last one. She started the book developing the character of Reena, smart, with a mind of detail, memory and skills for listening and researching. But the time she was 31 all these skills are gone, during this years she had several relations and they all had problems with smoke, they died, or the car got destroy, but not she did not even smell the problem. Joey some one that was in prison 80 of his life was smarted that her, plus he was invisible, he can pass around all the cops from town and no one will see him.........well the last 3 CDs are so annoying that i wonder how the book got 4 stars.
I usually like to read the book before I see the movie, but I did it backwards this time. I still found the book much more telling than them movie. A very good listen
