 A Heroine You Can Sink Your Teeth into September 10, 2008
The parents of an old friend ask ex-FBI agent, now private consultant Sloane Burbank if she would look into the disappearance of their daughter Penny, who has been missing for almost a year. Sloane, who is taking time off from the FBI because she was wounded on duty, isn't ready to go back to work, but she throws herself headlong into the case and even though the leads are thin, Sloane soon becomes convinced Penny didn't disappear willingly. Then she finds out about more young women who have disappeared.
Sloane gets the FBI interested, but the special agent they put in charge is her ex-lover Derek Parker and to make matters worse it looks like the madman responsible might have Sloane in his sights. In fact, it appears all of the missing women have a connection somehow to Sloane. Can she unravel it all in time? Probably, because she is a highly trained person who is in perfect shape and can kill with her bare hands. Sloane is a heroine you can sink your teeth into, as is this fine thriller.
This was my first book by Andrea Kane, but it won't be my last. The pace was quick, the characters believable in a fun sort of way, especially Sloane, who I sort of imagined as a kind of a female Jason Bourne without the memory loss. She's rawhide tough, whip cracking smart and somehow vulnerable as well. Time spent with Ms. Kanes's Slone Burbank is time you're going to enjoy.
Suspenseful with a Bit of Romance Thrown in August 20, 2008
This is the first in a new series and is set in the exciting and fast-paced city of New York. Kane has always developed strong, smart characters and with Twisted she introduces Sloan Burbank. She is a former FBI Agent who was injured in Cleveland so is now retired. She is going through surgery after surgery along with therapy to repair her hand. She wants it fixed so she can return to the FBI.
Meanwhile she keeps herself busy running her own consulting business. She gets a message from the mother of an old friend - Penny Truman - that tells her she is missing. The family is asking for her help in finding out what happened to her since the police aren't working the case anymore. She cares about the victim so she starts investigating.
The suspense and romance starts when she pairs up with former lover Derek Parker. Mystery and urgency quickly arises, because more girls also disappear all having connections to Sloan, so she is more determined to fine the sociopath killer. The book finishes with a great climax, leaving you filled with excitement for the next in this series.
My First Book by This Author, but not my Last August 8, 2008
I read this book in one sitting and I loved it, very much a thiller with some romance, for former FBI SA Solane Burbank. She reconnects with her former lover SA Derek Parker. Slone suffered a life threating injury in the life of duty and and left her job to recuperate, she also left Derek as well. Of course when two people don't communicate, each thinks the worst of each other. Sloane is looking for one of closest childhood friends and she and Derek end up working together. This ends up opening up many wounds for both of them. Along the way, many women disapper and one women is murdered, there are a lot of twists and turns in this book and it may be that Sloane is the killers twisted target.
A fast paced thiller, one I enjoyed. My first book by this author, but I will search out more titles to read by her.
More thriller than romance July 28, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Former FBI hostage negotiator Sloane Burbank is taking time off from a debilitating injury when she's hired by a childhood friend's parents to locate their missing daughter Penny, who disappeared without a trace over a year ago baffling police and the FBI. When she seeks help from the local FBI, her former lover, Derek Parker is angry at being pulled off what he considers a more important case involving the Chinese mafia to babysit a PI who is tracking down a trail of clues that are now very cold. When clues start leading to a series of murders that seemingly tie to Sloane, they have to wonder who the ultimate victim is.
Kane's latest thriller includes some exhaustive research and a pretty ingenious MO for the killer (he is fascinated with Greek Goddesses and longs to create his own set of them). The romance is somewhat left on the backburner compared to some of Kane's other novels, but she manages to create a lot of tension between her two leads that leaps off the pages. With an engaging plot, and non-stop action, this is one hard story to put down.

This book was so great I could not put it down. I read it in two days. The plot is great and will keep you on your toes until the end. I would advise anyone intrested in suspense, romance, and mystery to read this book.
