There's a reason why I like Lisa Jackson. The woman sure knows how to write a damn good story!
Lots of characters as individual as possible. Some you like, some you can really despise.
I liked the setting as well. The country is one setting that I love when filled with intrigue, suspense and suspicious, devious characters.
Cassidy struck me as a smart, headstrong young woman, at the beginning, and the same later. Brig had a good head on his shoulders. Chase, full of ambition, wanting nothing but re...more

Well I am just going to start in by saying that I love this book. I mean I own this book on my personal book shelf and I have read it about 15 times since I got this book. I can not find anything that I do not like about this book. It is one of those books that I finish reading and then I go back and I want to read it again.
Brig and Cassidy are my favorite characters in this novel. Their romance is so sweet. I enjoyed seeing Brig fall in love for the first time, and not even realize that it is h...more

Having read mostly YA books for most of my life, this book was only my third or fourth venture into adult novels, and mystery novels in specific.
I was looking for a quick read that would keep me busy while vacationing at the beach for a few days and was pleasantly surprised when I enjoyed the book so much that I stayed up all night to finish it.

This is the second Lisa Jackson book I have read. One more to go (Hand-me-downs.) A couple of similarities: someone with super natural powers, and forbidden sex which, begins with eyes and sighs, then closer, then closer then a kiss, then no we shouldn't do this, then more. But not all at one time; as you go through the book. So I am thinking I have read all this before, but then came a murder. And, for a good while, it was a good whodunit story. My only objection is that it was dragged out with...more
A friend gave me a big box of books recently and this was one of them. I'm almost done reading everything, and the only reason I waited so long to read this was because... it's kind of long. Now, if you know me, you know I don't shy away from long books. But lately, I've just been looking for something easy and quick to read. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that even with the length of this novel, it still falls under the "easy and quick" category.

This will keep you reading to the very end to find out who is behind two fires set that killed four people. Cassidy Buchanan grows up as the rich girl in town. Brig McKenzie grows up as the poor boy in town. They fall in love with each other when Brig comes to work for Cassidy's father. Brig is accused of setting the first fire and leaves abruptly with Cassidy's aid. Seventeen years later another similar fire is set and this time around Cassidy is determined to find who is behind the fires and t...more
I just don't know about this book. It started out really good. Brig sounded really hot and Cass was so sweet with her crush on him. I can't really go any further without spoilers, so..

Final Scream was an awesome read and I couldn't put it down. It was a well written story with well developed characters. Lisa Jackson is a genius in her own right. The passion and the love lost then found again between Brig and Cassidy was to die for. I found that the flopping back and forth between past and present was a much needed part of the story. At no point did the story get boring, it was gripping from the first page to the last.
Three or for good twists, but some of them were pretty obvious. I didn't suspect the bad guy's character, and in retrospect I should have. There was also a side story with one of the characters that I don't really think added anything to the plot, except to illustrate how absolutely dispicable one of the characters was. I don't really think this was necessary. The depth of his depravity was already pretty obvious.
I have just ventured into Part II of this book. I find Lisa Jackson very easy to get absorbed into and not realize how far you've gone into her books! But the time I go to Part II I wasn't sure if I even wanted to go on. There has already been so much tragedy and it seems like everyone is miserable, but I am hoping for some closure and I finish this novel. More to come...

I absolutely LOVED this book! Murder, mystery, romance...all balled up into pages of well written intensity. I honestly had a hard time putting this book down. The Buchanon's are a rich, powerful family surrounded by secrets and lies. When the secrets and lies are revealed, I was shocked and loved every bit of it! By far a new favorite of mine!
This is the first book I have read by this author, and apparantly, this was a rewrite of a book she had written earlier n her career. Overall, I did like the story even though some parts were a bit predictable. The good guys were likeable, the killer/arsonist was well hidden and there were plenty of characters to keep you guessing.
There wasn't anything that I really didn't like in this book, but it isn't like I am giving it a rave review. I think I would have to read another book or two by Lisa...more

I usually love Lisa Jacksons book, but this one I found just ok. I was really interested in the first half of the book, but the 2nd half just lost my interest. I was disappointed because with the beginning (1977) being so good, I had wanted a much better story line for the present.
This story was disappointing. The characters were annoying--no one said what they should have said. The dialogue was forced and unbelievable. The twists were easily predictable--I figured both out well before I was supposed to. And again with the gratuitous sex scenes that added nothing to the relationships or storyline. The incestuous undercurrent in the plot was gross.

I really enjoyed this book! I was hooked from the first page of my precious Kindle! Lisa Jackson wove a very entertaining story. There was great characterization, dialogue, description, and all around good fun! It is a loooooong book, over 500 pages. It took me two weeks to read but it was nice to have a book that I couldn't wait to escape back into.
Long and intense. A little Harlequin-y in spots, with some of the writing being a bit self-conscious and repetitive, but the book was a good read. I didn’t guess the ID of the culprit, which rarely happens and was a pleasant surprise.
The beginning of this book is quite promising, but I am disappointed with what comes next. Not my type of book. But if you like romanticise your readings with seductive pages towed by a little thriller, this might be for you.

WOW pretty much sums up my thoughts on this book. I have not even the slightest resemblance of negative or constructive criticism regarding this book. I recommend this book to anyone regardless of preferred genre! A book filled with love, betrayal, and crime, a story I cant get enough of. This is one of the only books i would ever read again. It also contains an ending no one, no matter how much you think you can, figure out! Read it, you wont regret it!!
This is one of the best Lisa Jackson books I have read. The book was slow to start but it leaves you guessing through the whole book! Great storyline as well, characters were well placed and their stories were woven nicely
I absolutely Loved this book. I am a huge fan of Lisa Jackson and this was one of the first books I read of hers and it made me want to read more. This is a book that can be read again and again.
I actually really liked this book. Lisa Jackson isn't a bad author and I've liked other books she has written but this one I really enjoyed. I really got into the characters and story line
I really liked the storyline, althought it became predictable in some parts. It held just enough suspense with a touch of romance. I liked this book, as well as "Lost Souls" by this author. Willing to read more of her work.
I loved this book! It is my favorite book by Lisa Jackson. I enjoyed the relationship she built between her characters and the attraction. The twist at the end had me on the edge of my seat. Once I started the book, I couldn't put it down.
This book has lot of twist and turn....which makes a person want to read more !!!! but did not like the way this script ended (esp who the killer was...
Pretty good book but the characters are almost like you'd see in a B movie...just not too exciting...not too engrossing.

This was the first book I have read from Lisa Jackson. Loved it!!! Will definately be reading all of her books!!!
Good plot twists though the writing left something to be desired. The story jumped without much transition.
I noticed this book on "recently returned" ebooks through my local library. It really held my interest and I enjoyed it so much that I plan to read additional Lisa Jackson books.
This one actually had me stumped. I figured out everything except for who the killer was. Great book!
Wow. this was a really good suspense book. it was labeled under romance/suspense but I would say it gears more towards the suspense part. This was a great storyline, with twist after twist! I can actually say that I did not figure out any twist or figure out any plots until it was thrown at me! That was a good thing. In books where you can pinpoint the bad guy right away.not so fun. well not in this book. I said a lot of "holy cow" (the clean version) throughout this book. If you like a good sus...more
