The first Karen Robards book I picked up was Bait, and I enjoyed that one. I liked this one, but I was disappointed. I don't know what Karen was thinking but first, the title doesn't go with the story! The action was good, especially at the end, and you could feel the static between Nicky and Joe, but Karen went way, way, way overboard with her details and descriptions. It made the book over-long for nothing, and I was starting to lose interest half-way through, but I stuck with it and glad I did. Yes, the book is good, but not what I was expecting... especially with Susperstition as the title.
