Summary: I'm in love with Ben and Ed!
Comment: AND Nora Roberts, ofcourse! They are her creation after all! It is always a pleasure to read a Roberts book. She always makes you feel like you know the characters so well. She goes deep into their personalities, complicated as they are, and turns them from mere words on papers to actual people that you fall in love with! Tess and Ben are both strong, intelligent people. She's a successful psychiatrist that really cares, and he's one hell of a homocide detective... who isn't really keen on psychiatrists. They come together to catch a serial killer, and reading their struggle to accept and understand each other is very enjoyable indeed. As well, Ben's partner, Ed, is really cute!

Summary: As usual, great characters, great chills and thrills!
Comment: I wouldn't say this is Nora Roberts' best, but it was certainly a great thriller and wonderful, believable characters that you couldn't help rooting for! The idea of a priest's garments used to kill the victims was great. The idea of a psychiatrist, our protagonist, Dr. Tess Court, being used to do a psychological profile and continuing on in the case, was a great idea, and brought a super character to life. The doubting cop, Ben Paris, also was believable, as cops think counseling is "hokie." The fireworks between the two were entertaining to see.
A bit less of the sex scenes than usual, don't know if that's good or bad! I guess depending on who the reader is. The romance was all there, though, and the tension between the lovers. The murders could have been a little spookier, and, as Roberts is famous for the macabre, they could have been a little more gruesome for the morbidly curious!
As usual, Roberts includes a mixture of love and a scary thriller. Wonderful, fast read!
Rating: 2
Summary: Not fast paced or intriguing enough
Comment: I didn't find that this book had enough intrigue and suspense to keep me interested. I found the relationship between Tess and Ben to be a little too important in the book. It was more prevalent than the story line. What was that again? Oh Yeah.... a man is murdering women and they've dubbed him "the priest". Well, I would've liked that story line developed a little more than the romance. If you want to read this for suspense, don't bother.
