I could use the practice for the zombie apocalypse or, you know, the impending nuclear war…. But this is a trope that Nora Roberts has made a career out of and I don’t want a bunch of rabid fans after me. What I didn’t like about this Nora Roberts book, was how Abigail switched from being super independent to letting Brooks Gleason, the rural Sheriff in the small town where she’s moved to, take care of her. Both women have to learn their skills essentially on the run, though Abigail has a little bit more learning to do than Juliana. Both characters are bad ass females who I would be super interested in having as friends.
Abigail Lowery (The Witness) is no Juliana Fortis (The Chemist), but their differences are understandable. Despite my residual feelings, this book was not all bad.
If Stephenie Meyer wasn’t so good at writing long books, I probably would have. But I figured after reading the synopsis that I would give it a shot with a result of…. Nora Roberts is known for her romances and honestly I find many of her books to be cookie-cutter and rather bland. And so, I did a little digging and I found this one. 🙂 I picked this book up because I had been talking to some friends about how much I LOVED The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer, and I found my self in a mood to read a book similar to that. Okay, so I unintentionally took a hiatus there for a while, but I am happy to be back.
