Phantom in the Night

This book definitely had a different feel than her previous books. I think the addition of Diana Love changed the feel a little bit, not in a bad way, just an observation. The story is similar to the first in the series but different at the same time. I enjoyed the dynamic between Nathan and Terri, but I liked Nathan better than Terri. I did not like that this book didn't start out with the other B.A.D characters (from the previous book); I really enjoyed all of them in the last book. Some of them did make appearances but what I really want is the book for Joe and his lady love. This one was pretty good, can't wait to give the next one a try

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This novel by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love is an installment in B.A.D. series. This novel was published by Pocket books in 2008. This series is more romantic suspense and not the paranormal style Kenyon and Love, as well are known for. Terri, working with B.A.D. and as a consultant with the New Orleans Police Dept., is out to shut down a possible terrorist attack. Terri's confidence is not at it's highest. She gets a bit defensive anytime her boss questions her on why she doesn't call in back up or request a partner. She thinks they doubt her ability to do the job. Nathan, a military man, has sacrificed his good name and reputation for the sake of his twin brother. After switching identities with his brother show more and serving a two year prison sentence in his place, Nathan is released, only to discover his brother has been killed. Now he's out for justice, his way. This puts him in the same boat with Terri as they continue to run into each other every time they catch a lead. Initially, they believe they are against some of the most dangerous drug lords ever, but soon find that is the least of their worries, as a large scale terrorist attack is what is really in the works. Terri doesn't trust Nathan, but she can't really trust anyone else either, so the two of them work together to save the entire population from a deadly virus. Oh, and of course there is a little sizzle between Terri and Nathan- to put it mildly. I wish I could add a half star this one. I didn't have any preconceived notions going in. It just took me a long time to become engaged in the story. In fact, it wasn't until after passing the two hundred page mark that things really got going. That was the main reason for the lower rating. Sometimes when two authors work together to write a novel it just doesn't work out so well. This might have been the case with this one. On my blog I have included a video interview of the two authors discussing the difficulties in co- authoring a book. The link to my blog is http://www/cluereview.blogspot.com show less

Good story. I like Sherrilyn books because they have an interesting plot plus some fun, love, and sex . This is the story of Nathan & Jamie Drake and their involvement in a drug smuggling group. The NOPD is involved as is BAD where Terri Mitchell becomes involved. This book gives more detail on the Fratelli de il Sovrano group. I enjoyed the plot and the characters, Terri's grandmother was a great addition as were the folks with the DEA. You will enjoy this book.

Secretly serving a jail term intended for his troubled twin on the condition that his brother will address his drug problem, overachiever Nathan finds his own life systematically destroyed when the arrangement goes terribly wrong, a circumstance that compels him to pursue vigilante justice

I don't usually go for the non-paranormal books. But I had read one of the BAD in an anthology and enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the first of the series as well. So I'm continuing on with the series and Ms. Kenyon, has not let me down yet.

Despite a rather disappointing conclusion to the story at the heart of this book, I enjoyed it.

Started off ok. The end. Better off sticking to her other universes.
