Either there was too much going on in my every day life, or the story I didn't enjoy Tempting Evil quite as much as the previous books in the series. Either there was too much going on in my every day life, or the story just didn't suck me in like the others. It took me a long time to finish which is unusual for me. The story wasn't gripping until it was almost over, but there was a lot of plot building and a secret was revealed that I would have love to learn more about. I still have questions which I won't ask because I don't want to spoil the story. Hopefully the details will be revealed in future books.
Overall a good read, and I will surely continue reading this series....more

Originally, I wasn't a fan of books written in first person, but in this case it works and works well. The writing style of Patricia Biggs in this series includes a lot of dialogue compared to some of what I've read lately, and it makes for great reading. There are several twists and turns that keep the story going and leave no room for lulls in the plot....more

It was slow to start, but ended with a bang. The writing somehow reminded me of "Mike Hammer"... some of the the things Kate thought or said had a real gum-shoe feel to it.
