Split Second by Alex Kava

From Publishers Weekly
FBI profiler Maggie O'Dell, star of Kava's first thriller, is back again in her second, but her return is not a happy one. From the very first scene, in which serial killer Albert Stucky escapes from two pitifully inadequate prison guards, through the inevitable and apparently endless escalation of brutality (usually against women), to the predictable ending, this is strictly a blender job: part Thomas Harris and part Patricia Cornwell, with odd bones and scraps tossed in from other similarly grisly and more successful sources. O'Dell, who plays Clarice Starling to Stucky's Hannibal Lecter, is still physically and mentally scarred by the two years she spent on his case and she's fighting to get back on it. She gets her wish. Before she can even unpack the boxes in her new home, one of her neighbors disappears, leaving behind a bloody mess, and another is found dead in a Dumpster. Soon, Stucky strikes even closer to home. The supporting cast is full of cardboard cutouts unsuccessfully masquerading as characters, and since O'Dell herself is so miserable from the start, it's hard to care whether or not she and Stucky ever do make it to their final showdown or, for that matter, which of them survives. Kava's hackneyed prose doesn't help matters: "Dear God! How much longer could she put up with the nightmares?" Probably longer than a lot of readers will put up with this book. (Aug.)Forecast: Kava's first O'Dell vehicle, A Perfect Evil, was widely praised, and Mira is looking to build on that success with a national ad campaign, a teaser chapter in the Perfect Evil paperback and a multicity author tour. Fans may go along for the ride, but Kava won't recruit many new readers with this one.

Hmm...look at all the people to pick from...

Let's try WAS (Rebecca)... show us what you have for me :D

------CHANGING UP WHO I"M ASKING TO REVEAL ------ CASEY

She was there... I swear

I saw her too. Maybe she got booted off.

I just PMed her - did I scare her away?

I just got booted maybe she did too

Ummm - I just realized that I accidently traded the book I was planning to use for this. I'm quickly sorting through my books for one I can use. Was wondering how everybody feels about True Crime Sick Shit .... Cool to use ... ?????

If not ... I have others that will fit the bill too.

I'm good with True Crime, it's been used before so I think it's ok.

Brat - entirely up to you.

Well, is this done for the night already? Not looking like rebecca is coming back. :unsure:

Should I just switch ....edit my post? Don't want her coming back and revealing without looking

:shrug:

Thanks for the feedback. I think I found one that'll work. It's fiction too.

It'll be TBR , but I can read it in a day ... 2 max.

Was considering an old classic true crime ... Helter Skelter:The True Story of the Manson Murders,but decided against it as it's soooo old.

Okay... Casey...let's see what YOU have , get the game going again

A Dane decision needed on this?

I miss my yahoo im :cry:

One Dark Night by Jaid Black


From the Publisher
When Dr. Nikki Adenike's rendezvous with an Internet playmate turns into a life-and-death fling with the serial killer called "Lucifer," she manages to escape—into the arms of the detective investigating the case. But the danger is far from over—and a newfound passion is just beginning.

Back of the book-
A fling to die for
From a daring, fresh new voice in romantic suspense comes this sizzling erotic thriller about a workaholic surgeon who jump-starts her love life by meeting a sexy bad boy for a naughty rendezvous – and crosses the dangerous line between fantasy and reality…

Dr. Nikki Adenike is successful and content with who she is – but her love life is nowhere. Used to be in control, she longs to surrender herself to her most secret fantasies. So, night after night, Nikki searches the Web. There, she finds Richard – a seductive stranger uncannily attuned to her desires, someone almost too good to be true...

The press has dubbed him “Lucifer,” a smoothie who’s charmed his way into the hearts of many smart, accomplished women with his killer sex appeal. Women who trusted him, who surrendered their bodies to him – and ultimately their lives.

Nikki is the one woman who manages to escape - running straight into the arms of the detective investigating the killings. But the danger is far from over. And a newfound passion is just beginning...

NOTE - Do not let the romantic suspense fool you...there was some seriously sick shit going on in this book. Additional notice -- it does have some S&M type scenes in it.

oh boy... I better sit and look at this book carefully, I have a feeling I'm not going to keep it long. This would be a new author for me

Now I don't see Danes online

If not she can get it from Sands if ya'll need to. I will check in before I leave in the morning. I'll turn my phone on when I get up to feed the dogs at 6 CST or there abouts.
