Dark Sky

You just have to read it for yourself! I could not put my book down!

Dark Sky continues on with the ongoing story introduced to me in Cold Ridge but this time focuses on fav characters of coffee guzzling/hard headed Juliet Longstreet and strong, silent/focused Ethan Booker. The story line allows the reader to find out more about Longstreet and Booker who were introduced in Night's Landing and whose characters are continued on by Negger in Abandon. This book is a five star for the romantic hearted readers who hope the best for these to characters. The temper of the story line is quick witted, fast but tempered with Neggar's usual stunning visuality of words to draw the reader into the scenic view of the story setting - in this case Vermont and New York. Negger quickly focuses her readers to the known character traits of her central characters - the heroine - Juliet Longstreet ;quirky and dry - witted, hardheaded and driven but highly likeable. And the hero - Ethan Booker; mysterious, highly disaplined but equally hardheaded and driven as Longstreet. This novel by Neggar will be a favourite of fans who love linking story lines. Through 'Dark Sky' once again Neggers is able to continue to allow readers to be kept up to date with fav characters while introducing new ones. For new readers however, the story line at times is mystifying and the plot disjointed. Looking at this from a new readers point of view or Non Negger fans, the plot may not strong enough to sustain ongoing interest in the reader without going to the last page. But, reading as an ongoing fan who is familiar with the story line, Dark Sky is a great read. Keeping my interest and finding the story line clear and still highly entertaining. One definitely for Carla Negger fans and a must try for new readers wanting to read a novel which is entertaining and humourous.

Of the three books I have read by Carla Neggers (Nights Landing, The Rapids, and Dark Sky) this one has been the best. Carla stumbled upon a great charachter in Juliet. All I can say is read it, and I don't think you have to read the other 3-5 books in this ongoing series to enjoy.

This was my favoriate Carla Neggers book so far. This story has a nice mix of danger, mystery, healthy romance and past characters. I would buy this book and enjoy the adventure.

New York based Deputy U.S. Marshal Juliet Longstreet knows she must be cautious as Bobby Tatro was just released from federal prison after serving four years. He vowed to avenge his arrest when Juliet took him down in Syracuse and she believes this violent man will come for her. In New York she finds her apartment house doorman murdered and her place searched as if someone was looking for an edge to get at her. Wanting to insure the safety of her family though most are law enforcement types, Juliet vows not wait for Tatro to make any more moves. While she searches for Tatro, former Special Forces officer Ethan Brooker seeks the actual killer of his wife though he helped expose Nick Jannsen who called for the hit on his beloved Charlene. He believes that they have a mutual enemy as Tatro pulled the trigger. Ethan keeps Juliet on edge more so than the killer coming for her, but she persuades him to team up to keep her family safe as Tatro is coming for them. The latest Carla Neggers deputy US Marshals tale is a tense romantic suspense thriller in which the lead couple tracks down a killer while trying to ignore their attraction to one another. The joint investigation seems at first simple enough to the lead pair and readers, but takes twists into a deadly conspiracy in which avariciousness leads to homicide and places her family at risk. Though similar in tone to previous tales like NIGHT'S LANDING, Ms. Neggers' fans will enjoy this strong tale while wondering if Juliet can capture her men, one to lock away and one to shower with love.

U. S. Deputy Marshall Juliet Longstreet returns, this time as the heroine in her own book. Juliet is a dedicated, determined woman who has dedicated her life to law enforcement. One of the people she has put away, Bobby Tatro, has been released from prison. His last words to her was a threat to get her when he got out. Not that she is terribly worried about it, threats like this go with the job. Unfortunately, this time is the one time it is for real. Ethan Brooker is Special Ops, he has finally come to terms with his wife's murder, a year ago. The murderer was finally captured in the last book in this series. He worked with Juliet on that one too. Afterwards he disappeared again. Now he turns up in her life after finding her picture at the site of a kidnapping in Columbia. Ethan has moved on but he has not forgotten Juliet. Juliet, Ethan, Bobby and several other political figures are being manipulated by an unknown person or group. Several grudges are held against both Juliet and Ethan. While trying to capture and torture Juliet, her niece is attacked by Bobby. Both Juliet and Ethan seem to be pushed in a certain direction. As things heat up, between them, they also heat up in the investigation. Someone seems to know too much about both Juliet and Ethan. When both wind up in Vermont at the Longstreet farm everything breaks loose, Ethan is not sure he can even trust old friends. However between the two of them and the rest of Juliets family everything comes to resolution. Very good book. Exciting, full of suspense, one of Negger's best books. If you like a good gripping read, this is it.
