I can NOT wait until this book comes out! The Last Victim was amazing!
Dr Charlie Stone is back along with her ghost pal Michael. Fans of Darynda Jones's Charley Davidson series will love Karen Robards Dr. Charlotte Stone series as it features not only ghosts but also serial killers and murderers. In The Last Kiss Goodbye, Charlie is still recuperating from her escape of The Boardwalk Killer - the one that fifteen plus years ago killed her best friend Holly while Charlie was staying at her house. Now the FBI is back and this time wants Charlie's help in catching a
1,5starAfter reading The Last Victim, the 1st book in Karen Robard’s Dr Charlotte Stone Series,https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... which I found interest albeit not crazy about, I wanted to find out where the series where a renowned psychiatrist, who studies serial killers and a serial killer that is killed during one of her studies would go.Hell, did I struggle through The Last Kiss Goodbye, the follow-up book. I eventually found myself skimming over a lot of the pages….why??Okay, Dr Charl...
It was with great reservations that I went into this one. There was so much that I didn't like in the first one. Sadly some of those same issues came into play with this one. Charlie personifies, for me, the whole TSTL. I can't stand that she is attracted to a serial killer ghost, too preposterous. In the end I just can't get past these issues, so in the end this book and series just isn't for me.
I wasn't able to finish this book and probably won't read anymore of her books although I have enjoyed the others that I have read. I just found it a bit long winded and too much romance for me, I don't mind a bit but this was too much.
I continue to enjoy this series. I've already bought into the whole fall in love with a ghost thing so I have no problems with that. I say that because a lot of people seem to get mad at that element. But I say just don't read it then. Plenty of books out there and it's not like it isn't clearly spelled out on the back of the book that the guy is the ghost of a convicted serial killer. (view spoiler)[Although of course I don't think he is. He has convinced Charlie that even if he was a bad man,
I'm confused by all the 5 star ratings, I won't lie. I'm halfway through and struggling to finish. I feel as if the author thinks I'm an idiot. I'll bet Charlie has shot Michael 150 dirty looks so far and I don't need to be told why every single time. I get it. She can't reply instead because people will think she's crazy. Yeah, I caught on the first time I was told. Geesh! The book would be pretty good if there was more murder mystery and less dirty looks/explaining of said dirty looks. There a...
The Last Kiss Goodbye offers the same major obstacle as The Last Victim: Charlie's overwhelming attraction for the ghost of a man who was convicted as a serial killer. Yes, Michael's ghost claims his innocence (just like most convicted felons do). But as far as Charlie knows, Michael is guilty of killing 7 women.Maybe if Charlie's character had started her own private investigation into the circumstances and evidence in Michael's case and found concrete proof of his innocence in the The Last Vic...
***ARC provided through Netgalley*** Oh my... I didn't read the first book in the series but I truly loved this one. I think I rated it 5 stars because of the end, yup it's definitely the end who got me. I hope there will be a third book, please Karen I am begging you, because I need to read more about Charlie and Michael! They're just so perfect for each other! "Baby, I'm telling you up front that if you go into hotel room with Dudley with the intention of having sex with him, that's going to
I enjoyed the first book of this series but Charlie really annoyed the shit out of me in this book.
http://ripeforreader.blogspot.ca/2013...No one expects to come home after a nice dinner out, topped with a nice goodbye kiss at the door from nice, attractive, available FBI agent, Tony Bartoli.......to find the ghost of a dead man lounging on your couch, watching TV.Dr. Charlotte Stone does........the renowned psychiatrist who specializes in the workings of the mind of the serial killer, also sees dead people.....and this dead person on her couch is no stranger. It is Michael Garland, recently
This is one of the hardest books I have had to rate. I will start off by saying I absolutely loved the first book in this series, The Last Victim. The Last Kiss Goodbye, however I found difficult to get through to the point where I considered putting it down and not finishing it. About 80% of the book involves the heroine, Dr. Charlotte Stone – criminal psychologist, arguing and giving dirty looks to her love interest suspected serial killer ghost, Michael Garland. I am actually a fan of the Cha...
Originally published at Book Lovers Inc.My Thoughts:I wonder if every book in the Charlotte Stone series is going to have the word “Last” in the title. The only problem is that none of them actually are the last anything. And maybe they ought to be.You really have to enjoy train-wreck books in order to read this series. I’m serious. The main character is Dr. Charlotte Stone, a criminal psychiatrist who studies serial killers. Charlotte is an utterly classic case of a shrink who really, really ne...
There is going to be a third book right?
I loved this second installment. Charlie and Michael are sooo hot together and I loved the progress they made in their relationship. I also loved how jealous Michael kept getting, OMG. He went ape shit on Tony and I was thrilled lol. I did get annoyed at how much Charlie was fighting her feelings... BUT it totally made sense that she couldn't let herself hope for a relationship with a ghost. I can't wait to continue on to book 3!SERIES IMPORTANCE: Medium. While I don’t think anyone would be lost...
Chillingly Good! 5 "blended genres" stars! I don't even know how to describe this book, as it's unlike anything I have ever read before. It's in a genre all of its own: equal parts paranormal, thriller, mystery, romance and even a touch of humor! I had recently listened to one of Karen Robards historical romances (Dark of the Moon) and, loved it so much, I knew I needed to experience more of her writing. When I was lucky enough to get a copy of The Last Kiss Goodbye, little did I know that I wou...
Difficult to rate. I love ghost stories, serial killer stories and romance. This book has it all. Unfortunately, it also contains some of the things I dislike the most in a novel: a love triangle, a heroine the author presents as smart and who acts mostly like a twelve year old, and... what's the equivalent of "jerk" for a woman ?Both the hero and heroine act rather selfishly, so in a way, they deserve each other I guess... I won't start on the thriller part, very basic, and the psychology... ev...
4.5 Stars This is such an unusual series. And I soooo want Charlie and Michael to have their Happily Ever After. I'm holding out hope.
4.5 GRIPPING STARS!I actually enjoyed this more than the first one, "The Last Victim". I was more caught up on the profiling, and exploring into the mind of a serial killer. Plus, Charlie has managed to control her constant puking on crime scenes.. :DIn this sequel, to sum it up, murder comes knocking on Charlie's door, literally!!! So, with Charlie's life maybe in danger.... she and the FBI team lead by Agent Tony Bartoli, are once again out to stop a serial killer, this time known as "Gingerbr...
Ugh.... this book was completely disappointing. I actually enjoyed the first the in the series book and was really looking forward to this book. I even was tempted to buy it when I could not get a copy out of the library fast enough.Let me just say, that this entire book can be summarized as such: Dirty looks, small mind games for small minded children, He loves me Loves me not, She loves me She Loves me not, a barely plot, and so much stupidity I swear you could wear a "I am with Stupid" T-shir...
