A Dark Lure edition by Loreth Anne White Romance eBooks

I just now finished this book. Usually I don't review a book right away but this one was so good that I had to review it while it was still fresh in my mind. I can't tell you how glad I was that I picked this book as my Kindle First for the month of June.

I won't get into the details about this story because I am sure other reviewers will do a better job of it than I could. This book kept me turning the pages--I could not stop myself from wanting to know what happened next. There was times when I had to quit reading just to do mundane things like cook a meal for my husband (LOL)--and the whole time I am cooking or doing any other kind of housework my mind was busy thinking about this story. The suspense was very intense and this is what kept you turning the pages. I only found one thing technically wrong with the story. As any Kindle user knows, you do have to charge up your Kindle to keep reading it--and in this story Tori was always reading her Kindle--but there was no electricity in the cabin they stayed in, so how did she keep her Kindle charged up? I doubt very seriously that she would have charged it up at the big lodge because she would have been afraid someone would see what she was reading. Nether the less, this minor point did not take away from the story at all. The book had a very satisfying conclusion so it was a stand alone story. Even so, I am hoping that there will be another story about these great characters. You could not help but feel sympathy for the characters in the story and could not help but pull for them to find the love, comfort and forgiveness that they all needed. I have never read anything by this author before but now I will start looking for more books by her. If this book had not been a free book for my Kindle first and I knew that it was this good, I would have gladly bought this book because it was worth buying. Can't say that about a lot of free books.

A Dark Lure edition by Loreth Anne White Romance eBooks Reviews

This writer knows how to tell a story, which makes me glad I read this book. The only caution I have for other readers is that A Dark Lure is a romantic suspense novel, not really a psychological thriller as it's categorized on the First page. The romance plot is prominent, with many scenes built around the electric glances and verbal sparring between the central couple. I am not a big fan of romances, but the characters here are developed and interesting. Admittedly, the hero and heroine fit the standard expectations of the genre - she's tough and feisty, he's ultra cool and masculine without undermining her, and their attraction is immediate despite differences between them - but these characters also have some depth with their complicated histories, and the well-developed secondary characters bring a lot to the story and make it feel more grounded.

There are some unrealistic elements in the suspense plot. The killer not only dangles clues intentionally, he even arms his target to give her a sporting chance. Also, an investigator who believes the killer is still out there long after the case is closed lures the killer into making a move. This trap might be smart, except that it unveils the heroine's new identity and leads the killer directly to her without alerting her that she's in danger. She is a little slow to put it together on her own, but fortunately the hero is good at noticing bread crumbs. In the end, I looked past these story elements because it is a romance, which often involves a degree of fantasy, and I enjoyed the story, which really is well written. Readers who dislike romances or want gritty realism should probably select something else. I do recommend the book for those who enjoy romantic suspense, or who might be open to giving the genre a chance. This is a good one.
I agree with C.R. Hurst, the first reviewer I read, that this was a difficult choice for a First. I was not interested at all in the dysfunctional family drama, the legal thriller which looked a bit boring to me, and the silly-looking teenage supernatural hunter book one of a series. That left this psychological thriller as the only choice. It is really misnamed as a psychological thriller, as it should really be labeled as a romantic thriller. I was not totally unaware of this, having read the summary and editor's review, but I was hoping that the romance would be downplayed. I was wrong. This was a romantic thriller, through and through. Not really my style. So if you like romance, drama relating to love-hate relationships of fathers and sons, fathers and teenage daughters, etc., and like a serial killer thriller mixed in, this is a book for you. By romance, I'm talking the whole nine yards - she noticing his biceps, deeply tanned skin, masculine appeal and yearning for what she has denied herself all these year, etc., this is it. As another reviewer said, this book was similar to "The One That Got Away" in it's plot of the one serial killer victim that escaped, but with serious PTSD which she fights to overcome. I also agree that this one was richer in its plot and character development. But I think it has too many flaws to get the full five stars. It is ridiculous that a just retired cop would lure the killer he still believes to be on the loose to the home of the victim that got away (not going into how he knew that) and not warn her or anyone else there of the danger. I don't buy his disease as affecting this decision and being a good excuse. I also think that the playing out of the plot was somewhat predictable and the ending too pat. The characters were well-drawn, but too formulaic to me. I was also frustrated with the way characters knew things that they kept to themselves, when being open about their knowledge and their feelings might have solved a lot of things. I find that type of plot line too frustrating.

Yet, there are many readers who love books about strong female lead characters that overcome tremendous odds to survive. Many eat this kind of book up. If that is your thing, then this book is for you, if you don't mind the drawbacks I mentioned. It is a plot line that has great appeal to many readers and if you are one of those, consider this a four-star, or even five-star, review. I also agree that there was rich texture in the depiction of the surroundings, which is the rugged Canadian northwest, which adds flavor to the book. I was certainly not bored with it and three stars is not a negative review. The writing is good, though not extremely incisive, and it holds your interest. I really don't think it covers new ground, though. So, in the end, don't go by the number of stars I gave this book, go by the things I've said about it, and the other reviews you've read and if this is your kind of book, go for it. But if romance is not your thing, skip it. This is not a true psychological thriller, like the ones by Andrew E. Kaufman, which are generally darker in nature, and without the romantic involvement. I hope I've been helpful in your decision-making. Good luck.
