Your overall thoughts about the story? How are you feeling at this stage of the series?


Phrynne | 607 comments Pretty ambivalent about reading any more to tell the truth:)

The good thing is, they're easy reads. The bad thing? No one goes anywhere. Maggie continues down the same routes with the same personal and professional issues that aren't even interesting. I'm also tired of endings where the bad guys seem to prevail or not get caught.

I really need the series to mature in some aspect. It just feels like the same story over and over with venue changes and variations of circumstances.


Robin (robinmy) | 1214 comments I agree. The characters don't seem to grow at all. Maggie's personal life is going nowhere fast. I was rooting for Tully and Gwen, but I haven't seen anything so far.

I do not like mysteries that are left open-ended and the bad guy gets away. That makes me mad. I want a solid ending.


Lauren (laurenjberman) | 2240 comments To be honest, I haven't read any of these books for a while. The last one I read was Hotwire (Maggie O'Dell, #9) by Alex Kava . They pretty much continue in the same vein with most of the focus on the cases and not much on character development. As I'm more of a plot than a character driven reader, I like them overall despite my issues with some of the elements.

I've only got 2 left and then I'm done with the series so I will try and finish it with you all if you last that long :0)

Thanks for that feedback, Lauren. I'm going to try and hang in there and hope the storytelling skills are enough.


Robin (robinmy) | 1214 comments I'm trying to hang in there too, if I can get my hands on the last couple of books.


Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 1392 comments There are better books on my TBR pile, and I am very ambivalent about continuing, since even the cases aren't closed.


Phrynne | 607 comments I am carrying on I guess as long as I can get each one from the library. I am not prepared to pay for them:)


Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7669 comments Mod
I've gotten all of them from the library.


Phrynne | 607 comments Me too so far, some as books and some on Overdrive:)
