Book Reviews of The Empath (Silhouette Nocturne)
Book Review: Repetition...repetition.....repetition
Summary: 2 Stars
Silhouette and Harlequin books can be good for a quick read and I was looking forward to The Empath based on the other reviews. That said, I finished the book but it could have been better. So much better.
Others have given you their reasons why they liked this book. Let me tell you why I didn't care for it. The first reason was because of Nicolas-the-Man-Tease. Supposedly Maggie-the-Empath doesn't know her history. She was raised by foster parents and had blacked out the past prior to living with humans. She thinks she is human, too. Add to that, she is a virgin. Here comes Nicolas who believes in control, control, control. He starts something with her, she lets down her inhibitions and then, "No. Not now." This goes on for awhile. Come on.
Then there is the continual explaining of the Morphs, and what evil they can do. Once, yes....twice, OK.....three times, boring. I am going to give Maggie credit since she had the intellect to become a veterinarian that she doesn't need the constant explanations. But Ms. Vanak plays her differently. She is in constant denial and Nicolas repeats himself on these issues numerous times throughout the story.
Also, Maggie knows she can heal animals sometimes yet she doesn't want to believe she is the Empath- a healer. Again, come on. I love a good paranormal book but I don't like it when the characters are written to play stupid. I know, I know, I shouldn't expect so much from a Silhouette but if I pay for a book I want it to at least be interesting. This book just didn't do it for me.
