Classic Harris, introducing Hannibal Lecter
Having watched the entire film series, the book is a fantastic background to Dollahyde's insanity. There is much more detail to his experiences as a child which gives his personality more of a well rounded character. There is no villain like Hannibal Lecter.

One of my favorite book series. Interesting characters and really good story. Sometimes the tone is dark, but there are great moments of humor in it too. There are also beautiful emotional moments as well which make you care about the characters a great deal. A very good read.

A friend of mine once vaguely mentioned these books as something I might like, but after reading your review, I think I'm going to have to actually read the series!

Hannah finds another dead body, this time the man running the local Christmas tree lot. Yeah, the series is stuck in a rut, but I still really enjoy them.

Identical twins solve a murder told first person in alternating chapters. Yes, it's a gimmick, but the twin authors pull it off perfectly. The start of a delightful series.

One of my favorites in the series finds Amelia fired from the Rogers and taking her literal act to other businesses as she tries to find another job.

Found it a little confusing in the beginning but soon got into it. I do enjoy Rebecca Zanetti's work, her characters are good and the description of post apocalyptic LA makes you feel as if your there. Roll on September for book 2 in The Scorpius Syndrome Series

Too many characters in this book was struggling to keep up with every one. Not as good as the last 2 in the series. Needs more action and less sex (hell! Did I just write that!), sadly I was skipping through the sex trying to find more story action :-(

Read this book when I was younger and reread this year and it hasn't lost any of the things that gripped me. It's entertaining, passionate and feisty. Plus, who doesn't love a talking skeleton detective?

Holy hell this book is very intense! I've read several of this author's books, and this series right here is so damn good. It's super dark, and disturbingly intoxicating. You must read Black Kiss 1st! Trust me you won't be disappointed.

The story continues with Emma and Dax.......
