Summary: Comic Book Heroine on the Printed Page
Comment: There is absolutely nobody on the planet, never was, probably never will be, who can write such outrageous tales of abused women who overcome the most insurmountable odds and have her readers willingly surrender their disbelief as if they were children the way Iris Johansen does.
If you thought the super abused, super strong heroine in her last novel was about as far over the top as Johansen could get, well you thought wrong. Yet, even though I knew "No One to Trust's" Elena Kyler was straight out of DC Comic Book fiction, even though I knew no woman could ever survive the abuse she had, could never fight the way she did, I was up all night reading the bloody thing, because there is just something about an Iris Johansen novel.
I was up all night with "Fatal Tide," as unbelievable as it was, too. And I know it was unbelievable, because I've spent a lot of time cruising the Caribbean islands, but still I couldn't put the book down. Melis Nemid, our heroine in "Fatal Tide," had a horrific childhood, probably the worst in fiction. She's got dolphin friends that are more human than the humans in the book. She's Wonder Woman tough, but she's human as well.
But wait, there's more, like a sunken, treasure laden island and a bad guy after a super weapon that can destroy-well, you can just imagine what it can do and what it can destroy.
With all that said, you might think I was putting down this book, on the contrary, I loved, every word. As I said, only Iris Johansen can make you believe in a tale like this and leave you wanting more.
My advice, buy this book, curl up and prepare for a wonderful read.
Oh yes, there's a rich guy, good guy in the book as well, every woman's dream.

Summary: Heart-pounding, but not fatal
Comment: Marine researcher, Melis Nemid, works with dolphins, Pete and Susie, on an isolated Caribbean island. She shares a secret about the mysterious underwater city of Marith with her foster father, Phil Lontana. After Phil's boat blows up, Melis is the only person alive with information pertaining to Marinth. It is information that someone wants at any cost. Her friends, her dolphins, her very sanity are threatened in order to get the information. Jed Kelby, an ex-Navy Seal, is also looking for Marinth. He and Melis become partners in the hunt for the madman threatening Melis. Along the way, Jed helps Melis deal with the scars of her past as they embark on a new emotional journey.
The first few chapters were very confusing and I was not sure if I would like this book. Many characters were introduced rather quickly and the premise of underwater cities was a little off the wall for me. Once I had the characters straight, the story unfolded at a quick pace and became very engrossing. The primary and secondary characters are engaging. The dolphins almost steal the show and I would not be surprised if Iris Johansen's next book features Nicholas Lyons as the protagonist. This is a good, light read that will appeal to fans of the romantic suspense genre.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent
Comment: This book was outstanding. I've read many books, and I'm just taken by all the books that Iris ahs written. This lady knows what women want to read and basically gives it to them in her books. I will be seeing more by this author.
