 Interesting read December 2, 2008

This is the second in the Night series of T-FLAC (Terrorist Force Logistical Assault Command) novels by Adair, following Night Fall. br / br /Psi Operative Lucas Fox crashes from a bad teleportation experience onto the beach at an exclusive medical spa specializing in plastic surgery near Rio. Lucas, needless to day, is a wizard, with special skills that make him a perfect operative for T-FLAC, and he is tracing some terrorist Half Wizards who are involved in some very nasty business. br / br /Lying on the beach in the dark, trying to keep himself invisible, Fox is confused by the sputtering failure of his powers. He is able to gather enough power to escape the soldiers and helicopters searching for him, and teleport himself-naked-into the beachfront cottage of writer Sydney McBride. Her publisher has her writing a book on destination spas, and having been pushed by her publisher to get her breasts enhanced to make the book more realistic, she is recuperating. br / br /Lucas uses his powers of Empathic Perception to control Sydney and the soldiers a bit, so the soldiers searching the cottages are convinced that he is her boyfriend. He notices when he is in contact with Sydney that his powers seem enhanced, and he is forced to use her to search the facility for the nasty Half-wizard he is chasing, Escar. br / br /While Sydney is attracted to the handsome Lucas, she is also using him. She senses a huge book might come out of her assisting him and discovering exactly what is going on at the spa. As they work together, sparks fly as they get to know each other. Sydney discovers the advantages of being the lover of a wizard and the distinct disadvantages of being along on a T-FLAC operation. Fortunately Sydney isn't just a pretty face as her older brothers have taught to shoot and fight. The two uncover more plots than they ever expected. br / br /This Harry Potter with guns and steamy sex is for adults only, and is a spicy and savory addition to the T-FLAC series. The third book in the series is out soon, Night Shadow. br / br /Armchair Interviews says: Another in this series from a New York Times best selling author.
Good but left me hanging November 24, 2008

I enjoyed this book and as it's not a long wait to read the 3rd installment I don't mind. I knew as soon as I saw them that I would buy all 3 as I love her books. I was hoping for a bit more at the end and I'm hoping we get to have some time in the 3rd book with all of the characters. I buy the ebooks as they are usually a bit less expensive compared to the hard covers.

I was very disappointed with this book. After reading and enjoying "Night Fall", the first book in the "Night" T-FLAC/psi triology, I was really looking forward to this one. I liked the characters and thought the story had potential but it just didn't come together. Too many things were left hanging. I want to know why Lucas's powers kept "going out" (as Simon's did in "Night Fall"), why/how Sydney acted as a power boost, what was really going on in the warehouse, what was up with the semen samples, what is going on with the room service waiter, is Mason Knight somehow involved and what's the story behind "Christy"??? The book ended with only vague, partial or no answers to all these questions. It was only loosely tied into the first book with only brief mention of Simon's relationship to Lucas Alex Stone who was introduced and set up as the main character in the next book. I'm sure, as another reviewer mentioned, that this is a ploy to get us to buy the next installment which is a hardback. I understand setting up the next book in a series, it's done all the time, but this one was done poorly with the first installment pretty much stand alone and this one totally NOT standing alone. I will read the next installment, "Night Shadow", if for no other reason then in hope of finding out the answers to all the unanswered questions from this book but I am very disappointed in Ms. Adair for doing this to her readers. I read all of the other T-Flac T-Flac/psi books and although I did like some better then others I loved them all and considered Ms. Adair one of my must read authors. I hope that she can redeem herself with "Night Shadow" but I will wait and try to get it from the library before I spend my money on it this time. br /
 Not worth the money November 6, 2008

This is book 2 of a trilogy. The first two books are paperbacks and the third is a hardback. In order to get people to pay double the price for a hardback, the two paperbacks HAVE to be great so that people will want to find out how the trilogy ends. This book isn't great. It's not even close to being great. A lady gets a [..] job to write a first person account about cosmetic surgery and ends up with a T-FLAC psi agent who powers are on the fritz unless he holds on to her. Give me an Edge brother any day. br / br /Save your money. I recommend the library if you really want to read the book. That's the only way I'll read the hardback.
