Because someone is waiting...watching...poised to strike and make Jillian the next victim...

A let-down November 27, 2008
Callida (Australia)
I'm surprised at all the people who thought this book was boring and had too many characters. I found it a gripping thriller which kept me absorbed to the end, and the characters were likeable and believable. I enjoyed the intricite details which others complained about. But it only gets 3 stars because it's a cheat. The lack of an ending is dishonest and a cheap trick to play on readers. I doubt I'll bother finding out what happens next, the emotional involvement will be long gone by the time the sequel comes out. I hope Jackson gets the message that this format is not appreciated by readers and simply doesn't work.
It was OK left me Flat October 15, 2008

This was OK, I like Lisa Jackson I wished it was BETTER. I'm glad that she's turning it into a series, but left me flat. Easy to predict about Zane and Jillian, however didn't make any sense about the serial killer that is on the loose going after Pescoli. Well we'll see how this ends, hopefully its MUCH better.

I just finished "Left to Die" by Lisa Jackson and I can't even begin to describe how unfulfilled this book left me! I had a hard time picking it up since it was filled with so much fluff it became boring from the very beginning. But being a past fan of Lisa Jackson, I was sure it would pick up momentum once into the story. I was wrong! Not only did the original storyline focus on the serial killer and his victims, but the secondary plot seemed to override the first three quarters of the book and then just switches to an alternate primary plot. Anyway, to top everything off, the book doesn't end and evidently we are expected to wait until August of 2009 for the conclusion. I refuse to buy that sequel because of the huge disappointment of it's predecessor. Now that I got that out of my system, I think I'll go find a "good" book to read!
I'm SO annoyed... October 11, 2008

I can't tell you how irritated I am at having read this entire book, only to be told at the end I have to wait at LEAST a year before I find out who the serial killer is! The mystery they actually solve wasn't even the interesting one. Furthermore, I probably won't even remember the particulars of the plot in a year (hey, I have things to do). Writing a book without an ending is just so obnoxious! br / br /In closing, if you must read this, at least wait until the sequel comes out, so you can find out how the story ends.
Very Frustrating.... October 8, 2008

This is a good story line, and very suspenseful with good plot twists. I am angry that the author didn't finish the story, instead - if I want to know what happens - I have to buy the next book when it comes out in 2009. I find this annoying, I am going to move on to another author who actually has a beginning, middle, and ending to his/her stories.
