I liked it more than the first Nadia book, which I couldn't get in to easily. But I really hope there will be more in this series.<BR/><BR/>I read a lot more urban fanatasy and paranormal stuff than thrillers or anything else, but I do read them as well. I like stuff that's got an edge to it, characters with something at stake, something to hide, whether it's a past they want to forget or fear of something that could happen that effects them, or something else completely. I like characters I can get lost with. So if a thriller/crime/YA/UF book has that, then I'm normally happy.Claire (Cem)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17163401026523824954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-65704549889379073132009-03-27T07:29:00.000-07:002009-03-27T07:29:00.000-07:00Hmmm...tempting.

(Told you I was a wimp.) And though I'm well aware that there are psychopaths in the world, it's so much easier to explain everything away as "paranormal" and thus...could not happen to me. No such luck with non-paranormal books.<BR/><BR/>But I think I may have to try the Nadia Stafford series.
