Riptide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Riptide (Hardcover)
This was a ridiculous book that made me want to throw it after I was finished. I won’t bore you with the details since other reviews have them. The main problem with the book is that it involved both the FBI and CIA and they obviously don’t know how to protect anyone. The author suggests that the protectors would allow the heroine to wander about freely and call all the shots when obviously that wouldn’t be the case. During one part of the book, the government agencies neglected to think that someone could enter a house from a tree onto the roof to enter via an Unlocked HATCH which just happened to be on the roof of a house. The CIA and FBI certainly wouldn’t be looking for something so obvious that one of the Little Rascals could do it. Another scene has them hoodwinked by a bad guy shooting a gun at a house. During the search for him, all those guarding a house abandon it. When they return to find an empty house, of course, they don’t search the house. The pitiful story is filled with these type of plot twists. Everything in the book is very predictable as far as the major two plots concerning a murder and a stalker. DON’T BUY THIS PIECE OF TRASH!!
Page-turner of a plot!,

Well, this was a great read. I was a bit uncertain after the last hard cover release by Coulter (The Edge). I was glad to see Coulter return to her 3rd person style of writing. I also enjoyed the plot twists. It was a bit of a challenge to pull the different plot strings together from time to time. It was almost as if there were two books in one. I really did enjoy the primary characters of Becca and Adam. The only missing element in this great suspense was the deeper development of the romance between Adam and Becca. It was almost an afterthought in the story. However, I truly was engrossed and couldn’t put it down until I finished it. So, overall it was very enjoyable.
Not her best work,

I have thoroughly enjoyed Impulse and Beyond Eden, but Riptide is definitely not Coulter’s best work. The storyline is fairly good and at times I was very engrossed in the plot. However I did not become too invested in the characters as they were not likeable. The heroine is somewhat annoying as she tries so hard to be strong and tough, but in the end you realize how stupid she actually is. All in all, I would not recommend this book.
