I really liked this story. It's mostly from the p.o.v of Fabiola an American born citizen who moved back to Haiti when she was a baby but is now back inAmerica with her Matant Jo(aunt) and her three cousins in Detroit. There is no messing with her cousins everyone knows the three B's. It's about love and family and sticking together. Overall a good read.

I hadn't read a Rizzoli and Isles book in a bit. I was starting to not like how Tess Gerritsen was writing Maura. I liked the character well enough but at times I was also disconnecting from the character. However,maybe time away helped because I liked the Rizzoli and Isles characters as much as I did when I first started reading this series.

I liked the double story of both Boston and Botswana. I actually enjoyed the safari gone wrong part a little more. Overall good mystery. I enjoyed the big cat angle too. A little graphic in the dead body description, as a warning for those who really don't like messy murder scenes. I personally didn't mind,but I read splatter punk a lot so gruesome details don't bother me.

Good mystery and can be mostly read as a stand alone exception of a few Jane and Maura sections.

This book is not for the faint of heart. I'm a splatter punk fan and even some of the scenes gave me the willies. Well written great characters. I didn't like that one of the boys was wearing an obvious I am a bad seed sign.Other than that great book.

This was a good middle grade realistic fiction but not the best I've read. I did feel like the parents were written oddly. I know if it was my kid who accidentally caused the death of another child I would think the signs that the little bit of counseling he got wasn't working since my child was acting out the way Trent did in the book. I did think Trent was an interesting character and I liked Fallon. Although I do think a lot of middle graders who this book was written for would be annoyed by the fact that Fallon who hints at the terrible ways she got her facial scar,none of them true, finally goes to tell the real story and the audience doesn't find out. As an adult I can appreciate that knowing what caused someone to be scarred like Fallon is wouldn't change how I felt about her,but I'm betting some of the middle graders who read this book don't understand that and will be disappointed not to know.

Overall a decent book with well written main character.

You know there are many Stephen King books that I love until all of the sudden the end happens. Not because the book is ending but I just don't like the ending it almost feels like someone else wrote the ending. His short stories are a different matter those I usually love how they're written, ending and all. Anyway the reason this book got a 4 star rating was because I actually liked the ending. The book was very good, more thriller mystery rather than horror. Although the scenario where a person who has serious mental health issues and probably PTSD from their screwed up childhood(yes PTSD happens in abused children) kills people on a whim and find he/she likes it is a horror story. Unfortunately this horror is pretty based in reality here in the U.S. Writing and story overall good but I'm giving extra points because I liked how the ending was written.
