Jack is depressed over the loss of his unborn child and the danger he imposes on Gia and Vicky, when he is approached by a mother concerned over her 18-year old's relationship with a man twice her age. As it turns out, the boyfriend is a fiend, with a nefarious agenda involving preserving his daddy's bloodline via incest. The plot is suspenseful, but also sickening. ( ) Repair Man Jack "fixes "things ....for a price and always for the good. Jack is an urban mercenary of sorts, but one who is selective about his clients and methods, takes on an apparently simple case; once again, and not as a coincidence, it blows up into something involving unseen forces - not quite supernatural in the usual sense, but otherworldly nonetheless. "Bloodlines" goes where we didn't even dream it would go. We thought this was going to be about the bloodline of Emma, Jack's and Gia's soon-to-be-born daughter. But it is anything but! True to Wilson's immense writing talent, "Bloodline" goes into different and new territory, but manages to tie together more ties to the past 10 novels. It is filled with suspence from the 1st page to the last. It is never dull and chock-full of interesting new characters of all varieties. Not bad, but not knock out of the park awesome either. feel like this is a transition book - the first that really didn't have a complete resolution. But I've also been pretty distracted lately, so maybe I would have liked this more if I had been able to read it straight through without interruption. It has a pretty awesome creep factor going on though. I'll be starting By the Sword tonight. It would have been a 5 but I am very tired of Gia. I'm not sure why but somehow females in these books come across as helpless hysterical nitwits for the most part. Gia keeps doing stupid crap and doesn't learn to look before she leaps. I'm starting to hope the next leap is a bottomless pit. Goodbye Blonde nitwit. The kid might have some hope but she has a terminal case of stupidity and self centered behavior. You think Wilson could create an intelligent competent female in this story line. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Repairman Jack (11) The Secret History of the World Chronological Order (April Y0-1)
It starts off simply enough. (Doesn't it always?) Jack has been on hiatus since the tragic events in Harbingers. With his beloved Gia's encouragement he dips his toe back into the fix-it pool. Christy Pickering's eighteen-year-old daughter is dating Jerry Bethlehem, a man twice her age. Christy sensed something shady and sinister about him, so she hired a private investigator to look into his past. But the PI isn't returning her calls. Will Jack find out why? Jack learns there's a very good reason for the unreturned calls: The PI is dead, victim of a bizarre water-torture murder. As Jack delves into Jerry Bethlehem's past, he finds connections between Bethlehem and the Creighton Institute. The Institute, a government-funded facility, is researching a newly discovered and frightening variation on human DNA. Jack learns that Bethlehem is not the man he pretends to be. Who - and what - Jerry Bethlehem really is will have a devastating effect on Jack's life and future. And as the bodies pile up, Jack finds another piece of the puzzle about his own identity and why he's been drafted into a cosmic shadow war. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
