    A BIT TOO MUCH SEXUAL VIOLENCE, BUT FASCINATING AND ENGAGING
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018*

I'm sure feelings about romantic thrillers like this vary a lot depending on the reader -- if you're more comfortable with the darkness and violence in something like "THe Girl With the Dragon Tatoo," you'll be fine here. If you prefer your romantic thrillers a little more on the light side, this might be a bit dark for you. I lean a little more to the light side, so having as much sexual violence (or memories of such) in here was a bit hard for me. That's just me.However, I truly loved the book through at least the first half, before the violence got a bit much, and I loved the relationships between the main couple (Mac and Shane) and the second couple (Elliot and Diaz), and the fascinating Greater-Than world in general.  And I did love it in the second  half except where I was sort of reading through  my fingers because of the darkness.One quibble that has nothing to do with my preferences -- it ended a bit too abruptly. Perhaps Suzanne figured she was going to write more in the series (sadly, that seems to not be the case) and thought she could address some things more in the second book, not sure. The happy ending was kind of fast and two relationships weren't really resolved. Which leaves you sort of hanging for those ones.I would very much recommend this to dark thriller and sci-fi fans, maybe even more so than romance readers.

    what an amazing mind you have Suzanne
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2017*

Well , this book just blew me away . what an amazing mind you have Suzanne . I do not know what i expected with this one , it certainly was not any where near what i though it would be. In fact of all the books i have read in the last year this one rates as the best . Totally incredible . To begin with on seeing the right up, i was not sure even if i wanted to buy it , but something kept me looking at it time and again . i am so glad i did . this truly is incredible .Where do you come from Suzanne to have such an amazing mind to put out such a book . Absolutely incredible. Thank you . I could not put it down it kept dragging me back . UNREAL .

    Troubleshooters meets XMen
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2013*

If you like Brockmann and you're a closet Trekkie (I'm not sayin'... I'm just sayin') you'll love this new series.There are spoilers in here.First, you need to know this author is going to push her social issues.  Gay marriage (and sex scenes) check, privatized healthcare check, vapid consumerism check.  If you can't leave whatever you believe behind and jump in... stay on the shore.Second, this is much more sci-fi than romance.  The romance is there... well, the sex is there.  The romance doesn't develop clearly it's just sort of... BAM!  They're in love.I do wish she had stuck to just one or two relationships.  But we got 1 "in love" already in place and another relationship established almost immediately (it needed help and development but it's there).You know how we strung along Julian, Max, and Sam... kind of what I expected here.  And it looks like Joseph and Anna may be that Max/Gina or Stan/Teri type thing.  Or maybe it's Joseph and Nikka (although I'm drawing a line in the sand with a 13 year old... I don't care HOW eternally young Joseph is).A good read, or listen- I got the immersion audio with Audible.com and listened while I drove part of the day.
