This book was obviously written to snag readers hooked on the occult and black magic genres by a funny mystery writer who could always be counted on for a good book. NOT THIS TIME. It was the silliest, poorly written book I've forced myself through in a long time. I kept foolishly believing it would get better. Checked it on Amazon. A ton of one-star ratings and similar comments.writerstricksofthetrade.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083070198778528841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355483545582286776.post-70541874099080805062011-08-18T20:32:14.101-07:002011-08-18T20:32:14.101-07:00I have a really good Norton filter on my att acco...I have a really good Norton filter on my att account and also have a gmail account. I NEVER get those spams. An occasional email from a Nigerian prince slips through, but I'm pretty sure I don't know any princes, Nigerian or otherwise, so "delete". <br />One would think, though, that technology would have or develop a way of following back and destroying or putting a virus in the originating spammers computer.Michele Drierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944263184981732147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355483545582286776.post-28849505640497180622011-08-16T17:40:32.029-07:002011-08-16T17:40:32.029-07:00Wil, I have two email addresses connected to my do...Wil, I have two email addresses connected to my domain and both of those, one in particular, are continually spammed.

Recently I read a book by one of my favorites that I was very disappointed in. When I left a review on Goodreads and read the other reviews, I was amazed to see that his other fans loved it. So you never know, do you?<br />And I think his writing was rather sloppy, which I am painfully aware of after being in a critique group for three years!Marla Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004295584548524776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355483545582286776.post-48102350991503475252011-08-14T09:35:19.923-07:002011-08-14T09:35:19.923-07:00I may have just heard the audio book of the same a...I may have just heard the audio book of the same author Margo mentioned. Until now I enjoyed the books in the series, but this one would have received tons of rejection notices if the author were not a New York Times bestseller.

She used the same characters from her other books that I loved, but the h/h were new and the plot was awful! The dust jacket promised one thing and that part of the plot didn't begin until page 200!
