Review: Samantha Now a Mary-Sue Character
Rating: 2 out of 5

Now that Samantha has officially turned into a "Mary Sue" what can we expect her to pull out of her hat next? Eating real food? Something a little more crazy to help her solve the next case? Some new otherworldly creature to show up and prove what a wonderful thing she has going? Perhaps a reincarnation of the Dali Lama will show up next? Maybe God? All she had to do was to have faith and she could live in the sun? Why does that sound like a fairy tale to me. All you need is to believe.I did find what was going on with her son to be very interesting and it is a story line I would like to see completely played out, but that is not enough for me to keep going with this series. Book by book things are getting out of hand and I see the author walking into the abyss like Laurell K Hamilton did.So many people had complaints as to how short the book was---I did not. Had it been any longer I would have been compelled to not finish it since it really stretched the idea of "suspending disbelief". I so loved the first few books since Samantha at the time was still a flawed creature trying to find her way in this new world she found herself in. Now, not so much. *sigh*
