Last Breath: 6

Last breath was the second book I read by Michael Prescott, and I went out and got it right after I finished Stealing Faces and I wasnt at all disappointed!! Last Breath was just as good as the Stealing Faces I cant wait Untill I get my hands on Comes the Dark!! I want to get Shadow Hunter as soon as I can as well!! I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It was a very fast paced and exciting book!!!

I believe Michael Prescott to be one of the most underrated writers today. An excellent wordsmith (he actually uses the right word in the right place--something new and different) his narrative flows. Suspense in all his novels builds and builds until you're up all night in an attempt to finish his novels. They also do not end in a rushed attempt to tie up all the loose ends but continue in the same smooth style. He does leave you wanting to know what happens next to the star character. Last Breath is as good as all his previous works and, if this is your first Prescott, you will be inspired to seek out his previous novels. You will not be disappointed in any one of them and probably join the legion of fans who anticipate the next Prescott novel. Michael Prescott has definitely earned a place on my bookshelf and will probably gain one on yours also.

I am such a fan of Michael Prescott that I find it hard to wait for each new novel. As I waited for Last Breath's release, I wondered what new characters and new plot twists I might enjoy. Wow! C.J. is so believable...she's just a gal with a job she loves, a past that terrifies her, co-workers who give her a hard time, and an ex-hubby that mollifies her into thinking he might be a decent guy. Wrong! He's nuts, she's vulnerable; and, if that weren't enough, there's another crazy out there who let her get away as a child, but is determined to get her now. I am always amazed at how Prescott is able to scare me to death and yet keep me turning page after page late into the night. I loved the book just as I have loved every other Michael Prescott novel. Once again, I'm waiting for the next one and hate the fact that it will be late in 2002 before I can, once again, be mesmerized by Michael Prescott and his wonderfully believable characters.

Michael Prescott has done it again -- written a psychological thriller that won't let you stop reading. Catlin, or C.J. as she prefers to be called, is a tough L.A. cop with a past that has been haunting her since she was 10 years old. An intruder, whom she thinks of as the boogeyman, broke into her home and frightened her so badly she has never been able to get the experience out of her mind. Now, he's come back to find her, and this time, he vows not to leave empty handed. A few surprising plot twists heighten the suspense and keep the reader up late at night. Prescott is not only a superb wordsmith, he writes in the female point of view more realistically than most male writers. "Last Breath" is a must for suspense fans.
