“I've been an Iris Johansen fan for years, but I'm really about finished with her stuff. She does the same story lines over and over again. How many times can she use the same old "serial killer kidnaps a child to lure in the main character" story?? The first book of hers I read was The Killing Game and I loved it! However, the more I read the Eve Duncan series the more annoyed I get. It was like she took The Killing Game story line and/or the Firestorm story line, changed a few names, added in the ex-drug lord for a romantic twist, replaced the reluctant search and rescue dog owner with a reluctant psychic, and called it a new story. Even Eve's character is getting old. She's so obsessed and unable to move on from the past that I would probably want to just smack her in real life. I keep reading the Eve Duncan story hoping she'll find Bonnie some day, but I don't know how much more of this I can take. I may just take Bonnie's ghost's advice and just forget about it.”
