Title: Shadow Dance by Susan Andersen ISBN: 0380819201 Publisher: Avon Pub. Date: September, 2002 Format: Mass Market Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $6.99 |

Summary: Slow starter, indeed
Comment: This was a slow starter indeed, by almost 200 pages. I was glad to read the other review that stated this was a first book by Susan Andersen.
The story is about a Reno dancer and a Seattle cop. There is a serial killer targeting dancers and Tristan, a cop, is brought in from Seattle to run a task force to stop the killings. He meets Amanda, a virginal dancer, and after 200 pages their antagonism turns into something more.
I love Susan Andersen and have read everything I can find by this great author. I hope that someday she writes a book about a finding [girl]true love, as most of her female characters, while not being virgins, are the closest thing to it. Shadow Dance is enjoyable, but mainly for the characters of Tristan and Rhonda, Amanda's best friend. Amanda had moments where she was likable, but Tristan is the character that really moves the reader to hope for the best between them.
If it hadn't moved so slowly I would be inclined to give this book 4 stars or highers, but the truth is it could have been 100 pages shorter, easily. Don't give up on Andersen, though. She is a great writer! Read Head Over Heels, Present Danger, Baby, Don't Go or any of her other novels to see what I mean.

Summary: Slow To Start But Still Worth Reading
Comment: This was Ms. Andersen's first story and although it was slow to start it is still a good story. More suspense then Romance but the story is still very good.
This is a story about a serial killer that is killing dancers in Reno. Amanda is a friend of one of his victims and is forced to identify her body. Tristan is a Seattle cop that has been brought to Reno to head the task force. He does not know how to handle himself around beautiful women and is shy. These two people have a hard time coming together but they finally do despite the fact or because of the fact that the killer has decided to worship or idol Amanda.
As stated earlier and by other reviewers this story was slow going and it took over 100 pages for the two main characters to even warm up to each other. This is really more of a suspense novel with a little romance on the side. Don't look for this book to be like Ms. Andersen's later books. Still this was a good story worth the time it took to read it.
Rating: 4
Summary: Early effort good but not one of her best
Comment: This book is enjoyable although it takes a while to get into it, however I expect so much more from Susan Andersen. I was actually glad to discover that this was a reissue, because Andersen has really improved over time. Her books can be amusing or serious but they're well written and keep your interest throughout. Try 'Obsessed', 'Present Danger', 'Exposure', or 'On Thin Ice' if you like great romantic suspense.
