Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Rachel writes a crime-fighting blog called "The Lady of the Lakes" wherein she posts details of crimes, past and present, that have been revealed to her by lake beings.The police read her blog for the hot crime clues, but can't hack her blog and trace her.Is she, perhaps, an excellent networking computer goddess, you ask? Nope. Apparently she's just extra special.
She also manages to have sex with bodiless lake spirits/aliens/ohwhocaresjustgowithit beings.She isn't sure what they are, except they are ancient. Apparently showing her good time is how they communicate.The heroine is more than willing to communicate with them on a regular basis despite her uncertainty about what exactly she is communicating with. "She also tended to inadvertently dress in ways that showed off her assets, as she had this morning, in a sports top bra and tight denim shorts."
I'm not quite sure how Rachel manages to dress inadvertently, or why she would want to expose that much skin to the possibility of encountering hot oil, spilling coffee, or other kitchen hazards on a daily basis.But Rachel is OMG shocked, appalled, and dismayed that men look at her while she is working in her jog bras and short-shorts.
The hero appears at her diner when a handsome stranger shows up, looks at her short-shorts, and then follows up his evil ways by trying to rescue her during an unnecessary confrontation that Rachel has with a villain. Thereis after another confrontation with earlier in the book with two drunk men.All of which is intended to establish Rachel as a heroine in the Spirited and Can Take Care of Herself types.
I wasn't able to finish the book so I can't comment on more than I have.I picked up the book because of the cover art, and purchased it in the hope of finding a new urban fantasy author.I thought that this one was awkwardly written and rather silly.I wasn't going to bother to post about it, but when I saw only a single glowing review, I felt an obligation to fellow readers to comment.
If you like Laurell Hamilton's current books, you might enjoy this one.It features similar elements; an extra-special heroine, supernatural sex, and crime.

Product Description:
One by one they go missing. And in the lake a voice cries out: "Save them. . . ."In the darkness, in a lake in the middle of a prosperous college town, Rachel Matre feels the water caressing her bare skin, teasing her senses, drawing her body into a lush erotic embrace. For twenty years she has communed with the lake spirits this way-and told no one. The price is simple: She must help those in need.
But now a series of young women have gone missing. The police don't have any bodies, or even a single suspect. Only the spirits seem to sense the truth. Through them, Rachel finds herself drawn into a madman's web. She alone can save the missing women. But who can save her?
