A Hero with Real Feet of Clay, A Heroine You?ll Never Forget

Though my good friend Vesta Irene had some problems with this book, I think she's over reacting. Yes the plot was a little over the top, but I willingly went along for the ride, enjoying it most of the way.I was hooked right from the get go, concerned for Cassie as sees her traitorous nanny and her Secret Service protection killed and worried about her when she goes into the catatonic coma. I found myself hoping psychiatrist Jessica Riley and her sister Melissa could get through to her and I didn't find the mysterious Michael and his mysterious connection to Cassie so far fetched at all.Maybe the sweeping saga is too much for this book, I don't know, but I liked it. I especially liked the fact that both the Secret Service and the horribly evil Deschamps are after our heroes at the same time. And I also liked the connection between this book and Johansen's Wind Dancer romantic trilogy.Maybe I'd only have given this one four stars, but I feel that I've got to make up for Vesta's harsh rating, besides, I was teetering toward five anyway, so five stars it is.Review submitted by Captain Katie Osborne

Too Many Psychics in an Unbelievable Plot

It's four hundred years or so later and the Wind Dancer has moved to a different continent, but sadly Iris Johansen didn't bring the reading pleasure along with the statue that I got from that trilogy she'd written and I'd read over a decade ago. She brought Sean Galen along from her last book, but even his capable presence doesn't quit pull this one off. I did finish it in an evening, and that's a good sign, but I was constantly put off by the reuse of so many simple phrases and the unbelievable plot. No president is going to let his daughter go off with a guy as shady as our flawed hero, under any circumstances. Also there were too many psychics in the story. Unless your name is Kay Hooper you can't get away with more than one character with abnormal, paranormal, supernormal or any other kind of powers. Sadly I liked the decade old, romantic Wind Dancer trilogy better than I did this one, though I'm still giving this book three stars, because I didn't put it down and even after all the off putting stuff I mentioned above, I didn't feel cheated.

Im glad I read this book

When I bought this book I didn't bother reading the excerpt on the back of the book because Iris Johansen has never let me down and this book was no exception. Although reading some of the reviews I must say I am surprised at how many low ratings there are!Cassie (a seven year old girl) has witnessed a horrid robbery gone wrong! monsters, death, hide! Is all she will allow her mind to register?Dr. Jessica Reily has helped her sister and other traumatized cationic children return to reality, so when the President of The United States asks her to help Cassie back how could she say no!Jessica's sister, Melissa, returns home from college for what Jessica thinks is a well needed break, but what we learn very quickly is everyone has there own agenda! Travis, the man who rescued Cassie, is brought in to find the man responsible for Cassie's trauma, yet he's not to be trusted because his past is beyond shady.There's some physic and telepathic parts, which may seem unreal, but I don't find these parts to lessen the story but make them more interesting. Its not any different then believing in knights in Shinning armor coming and sweeping us off our feet -Real?to some... intriguing for others and plain stupid for the non-believer.I couldn't put this book down! If you like Iris Johansen give this book a try... although most reviews are against this particular book, don't let that stop you. Judge for your self!

Explosive!!

I just completed one of the best suspense novels ever! Iris Johansen in her fourth Wind Dancer series has struck gold once again. Can this author tell a story or what? The story begins with a kidnapping attempt on the President's daughter which was aborted by Michael Travis who seems to be a pretty shady underworld character. When 7 year old Cassie Andreas witnesses the murder of her bodyguards and nurse she withdraws from the world, leaving her in a catatonic state and the only emotions she emits are through her dreams. President Andreas enlists the aid of Dr. Jessica Riley, who has dealt with patients who have been traumatized and places Cassie in her care at her residence with around the clock agents. One of Jessica's patients was her younger sister Melissa who witnessed their parents' death and who also went through almost the same condition as Cassie. Somehow Melissa and Cassie's nightmares are linked so much so that Melissa leaves college to come home to her sister and now the stuff really hits the fan. There is just so much nonstop action going on here and this novel will keep wondering just who are the good guys. Don't miss out on this powerful novel as it will hold your attention til the very end.

My first Iris Johansen, and I loved it!

This was a very good book. I can see why Johansen is so famous now. This novel shines, with great characters, and the build up of these characters.Though, there was a lot of dialouge, whether than the description, and thats what I liked about this book. She lets you know what the characters are feeling for other characters, and how they feel when somebody dies.The plot of this book is great. The way the story plays out is a way of believeability. After reading this book, I think I'll start on another Iris Johansen. This was an exciting read, and you probably could relate to the characters in everyday life.
