Summary: One of Nora Robert's best!!
Review: This book kept me on the edge of my seat. As usual, Nora makes you feel like you know the characters and are a part of this small town. I really had a hard time putting this one down. If you enjoy suspense, and a thriller, you'll love this book.
Rating: 
Summary: More graphic violence than love scenes.
Review: This was a tremendous disappointment to a Nora Roberts fan since Irish Thoroughbred. There was no need at all for any of the dreadfully graphic brutality. Friends who are also Nora Roberts fans feel the same way. If it were possible, I'd want my money back.

Summary: This is Robert's best one yet..
Review: I've read a lot of Nora Robert's books. This one is the best one that I've read in a long time. She keeps the suspense up through the whole book and manages to keep you thinking about the book even after you are done with it. I would highly recommend this book. Just a warning though: set aside time to read this one, because you are not going to want to put it down.

Summary: This book is just too graphically demonic!
Review: I felt that Nora was experimenting with her audience to see how much horror they could absorb. I did not like the fact that there was no "good vs. evil" in the traditional sense. The whole town was caught up in the corruptive power of the devil (evil) without there being any religious intervention (good). Where were the church leaders? Every town has at least one. Although Nora's writing is hard to put down (as usual), I would not recommend this book (especially as a bedtime read).

Summary: Wow!
Review: This was one Nora's best! I loved it! It was just so different and intersting, almost like an episode of the X-files I've seen.

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: I am a Nora Roberts fan and she has out done herself with this book. I was so spell bound I couldn't put it done.

Summary: Amazing, simply amazing...
Review: Nora Roberts is my absolute favorite-- read one of her books and you'll soon hunt down and devour the rest! Divine Evil was a compelling read, full of suspense and romance-- wonderful. All her books are wonderful, but don't take my word for it-- go get some and see!

Summary: Bypass this one
Review: Nora Roberts is a great writer and I have loved every book of hers that I have ever read... EXCEPT THIS ONE! As has been noted, there was no counter-balance of good with evil by having the intervention or even the advice of a clergyman. The book was entirely too dark and some of the scenes were downright horrifying. Nora, was it really necessary to show the rape, murder, and human sacrifice of a 15 yr. old girl, at all, much less in all its gory detail??? Was it really necessary to explain in the end that good DIDN'T ultimately triumph over evil in this story??? I skipped through parts of this book because there was only so much of it I could take and I have never skipped through Nora's books before.If you've read this book, toss it into the trash. If you haven't read it yet, don't waste your time or money. There are plenty of other Nora Roberts' books to enjoy... bypass this one -- Nora's one failure.

Summary: NOT a story for the faint of heart!
Review: I have been reading lots & lots of Nora's stories in the past year and a half. For me, DIVINE EVIL is one of her VERY BEST. This is a story that I would recommend to a NON-reader of romance simply because it's not your typical romance. In fact, the romance takes a back seat (it's still there -- between Cam & Clare -- very well done) to a creepy, suspenseful plot that will make you think twice about your nightmares of the past. From the opening nightmare scene, you know that DIVINE EVIL is going to show-off the darker side of Nora's wonderful imagination. Clare awakens, screaming, remembering a Satanic-like cult ceremony involving her father. The dreams, the horrific death of her father, and a sense of unsettlement, all bring Clare back to her hometown of Emmitsboro -- and her childhood home. Cameron Rafferty has also returned to his roots -- as the town sheriff. The chemistry is strong between Cam & Clare -- their developing romance is very believable. Because Clare begins to dig into the past to try to figure out why her father died -- and because of the mysterious death of a run-away & the attack on a traveler -- the "cult" begins to escalate in its activities -- especially as it attempts to "cover its tracks." Again, this story is not for the faint of heart. Nora makes you think twice about your neighbors in small town America -- especially with the twisted ending of this can't-put-me-down thriller. Great stuff. I hope that Nora touches on her imagination's "dark side" again -- soon! (Montana Sky & Carnal Innocence, along w/her J.D. Robb DEATH books are close -- but I want MORE!)

Summary: This book was more of the occult than romance or mystery.
Review: After reading Brown's trilogy Born In ..., I looked forward to Divine Secrets. The good news was that I couldn't put it down. The bad news is that the horribly occultic nature of the plot gave me nightmares! I sound like goody-2-shoes but the book could have done with at least a mention of the attempt of an intervention by a priest, rabbi or minister. I tossed it into trash, but will order her next trilogy poste-haste!
