Blurb: Kristi Bentz wants to write true crime. All she needs is that one case that will take her to the top. She finds it when she enrolls at All Saints College after learning that four girls have disappeared in less than two years. All four girls were ?lost souls? ? troubled, vulnerable girls with no one to care about them, no one to come looking for them if they disappeared. The only personal that believes Kristi is her ex-lover, Jay McKnight, a professor on campus. The police think the girls are runaways, but Kristi senses there?s something that links them ? something terrifying. As Kristi gets deeper into her investigation, she gets the feeling she?s being watched and followed ? studied, even. Then the bodies start turning up, and Kristi realizes she is playing a game with a killer who has selected her for membership in a special club from which there will be no escaping death?.
Review: Vampires, sex, murder ? this book has it all. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it was a little on the long side for the story it was trying to tell, but honestly, that didn?t take away too much from the book itself. Having read Lisa Jackson?s books before, they are usually guaranteed to be a good thriller, but sometimes this one felt a little pushed in places. It?s hard to explain what I?m really trying to say. It was a good book, no doubt about it. But it didn?t feel entirely believable. I think that was my issue with it. Maybe that?s just me not buying into the whole commercialized vampirism and whatnot (now, if you want a good vampire story, check out Blood Oath). However, I suppose if the vampire element had been left out of this book, it would have felt like a gazillion other thriller books with very similar plots. Overall, I would recommend this book. But I think it?s a very forgettable read.
