  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;It begins with a single shot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Devon Brady is a devoted veterinarian working in a makeshift hospital on a remote search and rescue mission. When a man arrives with his wounded black Lab, Ned, she has no idea that she is about to be plunged into a whirlwind of terror and destruction. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Jude Marrock is out for revenge and has no choice but to involve Devon in a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game with an escalating body count. She doesn&amp;#8217;t trust him one bit, but when the shots start flying and friends start falling, she finds herself with nowhere else to run. And there are innocent lives, both human and animal, at stake, including Ned and his mysterious pack. Is Jude her salvation or her damnation? Are the secrets he&amp;#8217;s protecting worth killing for . . . or dying for? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;With a lightning-fast pace, unforgettable characters, and gut-wrenching action, &lt;I&gt;Dark Summer&lt;/I&gt; is compelling new terrain for this master storyteller. &lt;/P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I haven't been enjoying Iris Johansen's recent books as much as earlier ones such as Wind Dancer etc., but Dark Summer is Johansen at her very best.  Great and intriguing story, characters (including a guest appearance of Sarah from earlier books) lovely love story that didn't frustrate me as others...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71627205">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Having just finished the latest Dean Koontz book, as I started Dark Summer, I felt as if I was reading another book by the same author but with fewer introspective passages. There are the &quot;special dogs&quot; and alot of mysterious action to start the book.  I enjoyed reading this but didn't nee...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48826694">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just finished this book and it was typical Johansen.  If you enjoy her other books you will like this one as well.  At the risk of giving away a spoiler, there was a family mentioned in the end of this book that was in an earlier book and I'm trying my darndest to remember which one it was!

    <body><![CDATA[This book seems standalone but it does tie back into characters from other series, like Sarah Logan and Monty from an early Eve Duncan book. On a search and rescue mission with her dog Gracie, Devon Brady meets Jude Marrok and his dog Ned. They are unlike any other she has met before and when Jude e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36929316">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I will be honest - I skimmed this book.  It started off really intense and I thought I would like it.  But then it got weird and boring for me and I just couldn't get into it like I'd hoped.  I've tried Johansen's books before.  I thought I'd like this because it had dogs in the story.

    <body><![CDATA[Iris Johansen is quickly becoming one of my fave writers of this genre ... whatever it is.  I guess it's popular-dimestore fiction?  In this tale, Johansen spun an interesting little twist into the plot, and I love surprises, so I was delighted.  I recommend the story.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I would definitely recommend this book. I could not put it down. It was gripping from the first couple of pages. It's the story of a veterinarian who has her life turned upside down to protect four dogs from being killed and autopsied. Will she find love along the way?]]></body>
