What isn’t quite working for me after so many books is that Eve is beginning to just sound like the boss bitch and she’s exhausting. I’ve never wanted to see villains taken down more than these despicable people who were abducting children as young as 10-years old for their nasty school. The plan was a sound one, but when they were out on the streets, Dorian fell and suddenly Mina was running, leading them away from Dorian, so she could escape. This story starts when Mina Cabot and Dorian Gregg, abducted teenagers, attempt to escape the Pleasure Academy where they have been imprisoned for months and trained for a life of service and exploitation. Nora Roberts) sets the books over a short amount of time and almost no time passes in and between books.

Another entry that follows the formula that’s worked pretty well for the past 54 books so no big surprises that the story is about Eve Dallas figuring out who did what to who and why, along with her team that never seems to have anything else to Dothan work on her case of the moment. But Roarke is also worried about the effect this case is having on Dallas, as it brings a rage to the surface she can barely control. She’d just come off of case involving the abduction and confinement of several women and husband Roarke is more than concerned about the pressures to her psyche. Add to that the usual Fifty-esque diet and clothing scenes and you've got an installment that, while much better, doesn't quite hit the five-star mark.I think I might have to start admitting to myself, thought it’s strange… I have comfort cops, especially considering how much I didlike, and distrust cops.

In the end, they decided as a couple (this is a refreshing change from Roarke laying down a law and Eve deciding "not to argue") that while he has a right to worry, she has responsibilities to her job and victims that don't include allowing her macho husband to substitute his "superior" judgment for hers because protection. This book pushed my belief that they’d need to keep it a secret when it’s happening very much out in the open right now. I believe it is one of my favorites of the series and I am quite sure it is one I’ll read again and again.Mina Cabot is also 13-years old but from a loving affluent family in Philadelphia, abducted on her way home from school.

D. Robb book always feels like a chance to catch up with dear friends, while said friends are trying to save the world. As much as the plot is structured in such a way that longtime readers can connect it to Dallas' past without problems and thus develop a whole set of expectations with respect to a more intimate development in the relationship between her and Roarke, what unfortunately remains, at the end of the book, is a murder mystery, nice and I have no problem to admit it, but still just a murder mystery. This is the fifty-fifth book in the In Death Eve Dallas series and I have read all of them up to this point.This was a hard one to put down because it involved young children at risk and I needed to reach the outcome. Still, for all of the emotions that are revoked, it did end up giving you hope because they got the dicks.
