Not quite as good as the first but close enough ( )

relaxing read.

This is the sequel to "To Die For" featuring Blair Mallory. The story is told in first person, which can be extremely annoying, since Blair is a very high maintenance airhead. Cannot stand all the gameplaying with her relationship either. Ms Howard always tells a good story, but some of them can be a bit formulaic. She has written some incredibly complex satisfying books, but not for a while now. I think I'll go back and re-read "Son of the Morning". I wish I didn't think she was just writing now to make a quick buck. ( )

Written in the first person, which took some getting used to, good story, quirky dialogue funny, sexy tense ( )

This is the sequel to To Die For and so there are semi-spoilers for the first one, they follow on almost immediately from each other. This one once again features Blair and Wyatt and their tempestuous relationship. The two of them are so alpha it's almost a constant battleground with them, but they're fun to read.

Wyatt finally sets a deadline for Blair for them to get married as he's getting impatient with her. She starts her shopping only to be nearly run over in the car park. Wyatt thinks that it's just a coincidence but Blair is pretty sure that someone is out to get her again. But who can it be? Why do they want to kill her. Until Blair's house burns around her, Wyatt isn't convinced that she's in danger again. While this is an interesting and fun read, it's almost a redux of the first story in the series and really Blair is starting to get annoying. At least though she largely learns from her mistakes. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345486587, Mass Market Paperback)

“Linda Howard is a superbly original storyteller.”
–Iris Johansen

Blair Mallory has already survived one murder attempt. Now, while planning her wedding and dealing with holiday-season madness, Blair once again dodges a bullet. Or more precisely, a Buick. And though the driver’s identity remains a mystery, his or her murderous intentions are all too clear.

Or are they? After all, Blair’s homicidal ex-husband and his partner in crime/wife are safely behind bars. And even Wyatt Bloodsworth, her police detective groom-to-be, isn’t inclined to believe she’s being targeted again. All of which makes Blair wonder if her close call was simply a mishap. But the wondering stops when she narrowly cheats death again in another seemingly innocent accident. Two strikes is all it takes to convince Blair that she’s back in someone’s crosshairs. And the only thing more frightening is that Wyatt still doubts her. That means this time, no one will be watching Blair’s back when she sets out to get the drop on her would-be killer–before whoever it is finally drops her.
