MY GRADE: C
FROM PUBLISHER:
AN INTRUDER HAS ENTERED JENNIFER'S WORLD...
A glamorous world of music and movement and sensual excitement.
Now someone watching Jennifer.
He watches her beauty, her grace, her supple young body. He watches the curve of her slender neck as she smiles at her lover.
He watches from the shadows and smiles, plotting, imagining...imagining her dazzling gifts are his alone...imagining her soft warm flesh beneath his hands.
He watches with tingling excitement as he watched all those other girls, all those other times.
He has waited so long, so patiently.
Soon now, Jennifer will dance.
For the very last time...
MY THOUGHTS: The book starts with the body of a ballerina being found, one of ten from three major ballet companies in New York City that have been killed, then the abduction of another one, nineteen-year-old Jennifer North, who willingly went home with the killer, then was abducted by him. She's not a character for me to have sympathy for since she's a cheater and I just didn't care much about what happened to her.
The killer has always had a screwed up relationship with his mother yet he remains close to her. I don't like that she was in this except for in flashback. She kind of ruined it, that and that they were in on some of the happenings together, which was completely unbelievable.
This wasn't very good or too suspenseful. I like part of the ending, at the ballet, but some of the things that happened there with the killer's mother, I didn't like at all. This would have been so much better if the mother had been left out and we'd seen more of the killings.
The cover is die-cut and this image is on the stepback page behind it, but in color.
