I read this book after reading the fourth book in the series.  I enjoyed the fourth book so much, I was sure I would like this one too.  And sure enough, it started with a  bang... ok, more like a slash and a scream, but she had my attention from the very beginning.  However, as  she introduced the main characters my attention slowly waned.Jesslyn came of as abrasive and bitchy,  with moments of stupidity at the worst times.  Aiden liked to puff his chest but seemed virtually importent in the face of Jesslyn's bitchiness.  There was no chemistry between Jesslyn and Aiden.  As a reader i was sympathetic to Jesslyn's history but she was also pretty abrasive, like stupid abrasive.  Aiden for some reason found that attractive.  So of course in a matter of like a week, their in love.  I couldn't figure out how it happened so quickly, because basically they'd had one date.I look back on this book and i'm not sure how I finished.  At about the point  <spoiler> that Jesslyn decides to go down to the lake despite the fact that she knows the serial killer is targeting her, alone, in the dark, in the middle of a thunderstorm,  I was pretty done.  I was hoping the guy would kill her, just so the story would be over.  </spoiler> The book as a whole seemed move about the writer putting together dramatic scenarios, than about about scenarios that really made sense.  The book seemed to drag on and on, not because it was overly long, but because the story construction was so poor.So as much as I loved Deadly Games,  I won't seek out any other books by this author.
