Summary: How Bad Does Your Writing Have to be...
Review: before they take your typewriter away? I am confused and unsettled by the tide of opinion that rises against me regarding this novel. It is easily one of the bottom ten worst books I have ever read. The writing was worse than amateurish. The characters, all of them, were unlikeable, but especially Cassidy, who is a dwid of the first order. The plot was ripped directly from yesterday's news , long after authentic Satanism and recovered memories were generally accepted to be overrated phenomena by the pyschiatric community. And yet. And yet. I read all these positive reviews and I can't help but wonder: am I the one who's wrong here? Nah.

Summary: Satan's Silence delights, entertains, and questions.
Review: Genre: Mystery/Suspense For lovers of occult mysteries, Cassidy McCabe once again comes through a powerful heroine bent on solving the mystery of a missing baby before she becomes a sacrifice on Satan's alter. The unstoppable Cassidy is pulled far beyond her professional duties, resorting to peanut butter cups and the comfort of her cat, Starshine, to lending her strength to do what must be done. And she does it with her own style that will leave the reader chuckling over Cassidy's antics all the while sitting on the edge of the chair as the tension of the plot builds. Picking up the timeline shortly after the first novel leaves off, Cassidy's romance with the sexy Zach Moran is definitely not purring along. Zach has begun to emotionally distance himself from Cassidy, and she figures there's got to be another woman in the picture. Meanwhile, Cassidy's patient, Dana Voss, unexpectedly regress during therapy, becoming child like and recounting a satanic ritual sacrifice of a playmate. But given Dana's psychiatric history, Cassidy doesn't know if the memory is real or a delusion. When Cassidy mentions a few details to Zach, his crime report instinct immediately lands them in a graveyard, determined to learn the secrets of the past. The past has way of quickly catching up to the future. Break-ins with nothing missing, flower deliveries with dangerous contents, and the kidnapping of Dana's baby makes it clear they are all in danger. As Dana's memories continue to surface, Cassidy must find the answers to the missing child before the police arrest Dana for murder, and before the missing child is sacrificed in secret midnight rituals. Tempered with concern over Starshine, the infamous cat of the first mystery, and trouble with her romance, Satan's Silence will delight, entertain, and leave the reader questioning their own philosophical beliefs regarding good and evil. I can hardly wait to read the next book of this series. 304 pages Cindy Penn, Reviewer

Summary: Suspenseful
Review: I enjoyed this book, even though I haven't been able to get completely 'in' to the characters. The plot is suspenseful and keeps you reading. The only jarring note is that there seem to be a lot of racial references having nothing to do with the plot. On the whole, a really good book, and I plan to read the entire series.

Summary: A Must Read Book by Alex Matthews
Review: This is a very good book. It shows that there are other things going on in a person's life besides just good. The author has done an outstanding job of making you think and keeping you guessing right up until the end. The solution is a surprise, only part of what you are expecting happens. Cassidy McCabe is a psychotherapist, struggling to make her private practice a success and work out of her home. One of Cassidy's clients is Dana Voss, a 27-year-old single mother. Suddenly Dana is starting to have terrifying memories of a Satanic Cult resurface from when she was 4. Dana tells Cassidy of these memories but now is absolutely terrified because she has broken "Satan's Silence". What follows is a gripping tale with terrifying results. Cassidy doesn't want to believe what is happening, but when the evidence starts turning up, she is determined to find the truth. Cassidy lives alone with her calico cat, Starshine, who also plays a surprising part in this book. While struggling to deal with everything that is happening, Cassidy is also trying to deal with her own personal problems and her struggling relationship with Zach Moran. Zach is an investigative reporter who is also determined to find the truth, but for different reasons.

Summary: Suspenseful
Review: This is the second in the series and the second that I've read. I have thoroughly enjoyed both. The characters are believable and fun. The mystery is enticing and keeps one's attention. "Starshine" is a real world cat. She does not talk or help solve mysteries, but definetly adds interest to the story. . .especially if one is a cat lover.
