So .... thrillers, romance, erotic, suspense with cheating .... not really my thing! Who knew!If you're reading this to decide whether to read this book do yourself a huge favour and don't bother. I'd heard great things about this couple who write as one and I can only hope this book was totally out of character as it was possibly one of the worst books I've ever ploughed through. If it hadn't been the only book to hand on a short break I'd certainly have taken the highly unusual step of abandoning it part way through. What was it so bad? Firstly, the key characters were unbelievable and
Weeelllll.... I didnt hate it. Thats something, right? Im glad I gave it a try... But I spent the majority of the novel wondering where exactly the Thriller portion would come in. I could see influences at times, sure, but it just didnt jump out at me (pun unintended, though amusing). Granted, those small influences did keep me up at night sometimes, they just didnt seem to be the main focus, which I was expecting they would be.I found it really hard to relate to the characters. They felt real
This read like the Hallmark psychological thrillers I used to enjoy watching while I skived off school and despite the immense advances in police procedure the domestic-noir element keeps it feeling up-to-date and the themes of domestic abuse and rape as relevant today as ever. I thoroughly enjoyed this title, far more so than The Memory Game (the first I'd read of this author couple). Although there was still a lot of padding, I felt confident the authors had a finer grasp on what they were
My first encounter with this book was when I was a teen and I couldn't recall why, but I never finished it. Fast forward 20 years later and I caught a glimpse of the title at my local library and was compelled to finished it. Just as before, I was attracted to the fast pace beginning of the story. Then during the middle of the book, I am hit with the reason why I ditched it in the first place. The protagonist in this story is a nosy, jealous, and extremely annoying individual in which I could
Opening Line: He knew he was going to die.Killing Me Softly is a love story but not in the typical sense; its obsessive, all consuming, violent, intense, desperate and ultimately terrifying. And oh my god is it good. I literally could not put this down. If I could compare this book to anything I would say that initially it reminded me of a combination of 9 ½ weeks and that Richard Gere/Diane Lane movie from a few years ago (Unfaithful) -based on the passion, intensity and utter randomness of our
Wow! I could barely force myself to put this book down along the way!"Killing Me Softly" is an apt title for this one. The story plays out slowly and seductively, raising the level of tension as you read along. While you may feel that you can predict what the ending will likely be, it's really the ride that matters most. The story begins with Alice leaving her safe, comfortable, long-term relationship with Jake for a stranger she meets, literally, on the street. Adam is sexy and intense, and
