Looking for a well written and intelligent book. The focal point and heroine was a very mad immature person who was very snippy and I grew tired of her language and mentality. The plot was very weak and unbelievable.

This book is pretty excellent, until… until she starts the predictable, sad decline into gothic romance that her additional series sped into. In this book, we see the seeds for the next in the series to start exploring the faux “incest” theme she set up clumsily in book one.
Sad, though, because this book and it’s predecessor are excellent, and even honestly original. Now, I cannot, and will not, buy book three. Jesus wept.

I read the first Harper Connelly book (Grave Sight) because I thought Harper’s “gift” would make for a fantastic tale. I was incorrect. It SHOULD have made a fantastic tale, but the writing was so tedious and the characters so one-dimensional that I was left wondering what in the world Harris’s publishers were thinking when they gave the go-yet to be on the book. But because I like the Sookie Stackhouse series (at least the characters in THAT series really have personalities) I chose to give the second Harper Connelly book a try.
I couldn’t even end it. The characters, once again, have ZERO personalities. They are about as appealing and likeable as navel lint. None of them come even close to being believable, and conversations between characters are ridiculously abrupt, dry, combative, and bear no semblence to reality whatsoever. Does Harper ever encounter people who are kind or helpful or treat her with any type of respect at all? Rumor has it that not, because everyone she meets either accuses her, sets her up, suspects her, or is “out to get her” in some way. That’s just not believeable.
But the real reason I couldn’t end the book came when Harper suddenly realized she was in like with Tolliver. It seems as though even Ms. Harris couldn’t reasonably stomach THAT relationship because she couldn’t even bring herself to come right out and say it – she could only allude to it. What a cop out. If you’re going to bring in a quasi-incenstuous relationship, at least have the guts to directly take up it.
For the last two books (okay…one and a half books) I had to listen to Harper introduce Tolliver as “my brother” about a hundred times and clarify their relationship over and over again. By the end of the first book, I was like, “We GET IT. You’re SIBLINGS. Not blood siblings, but you were raised as such. We get the point.” So with that point being brought up OVER and OVER, we’re all of a sudden supposed to judge that all of a sudden this brother/sister relationship has turned romantic? Ms. Harris should have never made them siblings only to have Harper lust after Tolliver later. I agree with another reviewer on this point: “EWWWWWWWW.”
It is a safe bet I will NOT be reading Ice Cold Grave.

Pay attention to what you are reading people; this tale has many continuity problems! First, after the discovery of the two bodies in the grave, Harper and Tolliver chat about how the “older male student” (who turns out to be a private detective) seemed suspicious. Go back and reread the scene they allude to–nothing was particularly odd about the man,except he stood out because of his age, and he voiced one suggestion, which was described as sounding “objective”.
Second, ditto Harper’s run in with the FBI agent. A harmless conversation becomes blown out of perportion when Harper and Tolliver talk about it.
Third, (and this is the worst)re-read the phone conversation between Harper and her small sisters. Work out their ages on a time line. The youngest is 9, building her 16 years younger than Harper’s 25. Then Harper says her sisters were 3 and 5 when Cameron(?, the missing middle sister) disappeared. Doing the math makes Harper 19 when Cameron disappeared–BUT Harper was supposely younger, as she spent her senior year in a foster home after Cameron disappeared!
Lack of Continuity ruins what could have been a excellent tale.

having agreed myself a few days to figure out how i felt about this book, the only thing i came away with was “i paid 23 dollars for this small thing”. and it’s not like the tale was terrible, it’s just too similar to the first. i expected a small more than the same speech only different actors.
the psychic and her grandson are appealing, but, and i’ll be curious to see what becomes of them, but i reflect from now on i’ll wait for PB or get it at the library
