Rivetting!,
By Rochelle Dian - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Forest of Harm (Hardcover)
Sallie Bissell has just become my favorite new fiction author. Her book, In the Forest of Harm, captured my attention from the very first paragraph. She leads the reader on a spellbinding journey while creating characters that are compelling, believable and of the heart. Entering the world of her main character, Mary Crow, we meet a purposeful and determined woman who needs no rescue by a white knight, rather looks within herself to find her strength. She follows a trecherous path into the unknown, because she must, because it could have been no other way. Sallie Bissels ranks with Tami Hoag in creating a witty and courageous female protagonist. I can't wait to read more and hope there is a follow-up book arriving soon!

Enjoyable and Scary!,
By Lisa Russo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Forest of Harm (Hardcover)
I read suspense fiction ravenously, and admit I didn't expect much from what appeared to be a simple story. Boy was I wrong! This was intelligently written and brave. Where other authors might shy away from open brutality, this author jumped right in, shocking the reader into rapt attention. I couldn't wait to read what would happen next! The interplay between the characters was wonderful, and not at all "coddling," as many women-oriented novels are. There haven't been many books in the past few years that made me want to sleep with the lights on...this was certainly one of them. I anxiously await Sallie Bissell's next book. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful:

Promising, but flawed debut by new writer,
By K. Corn "reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Forest of Harm (Mass Market Paperback)
I felt compelled to finish this one (if only to review it adequately) but there were times I wanted to put it down because of the excessive, graphic violence in several places- including a rape scene with such detail that I truly became sick to my stomach. Some readers, however, might consider this a recommendation for this book, depending on their tastes (not me). I'm able to stomach violence if there are other redeeming factors to a book, but this one didn't have strong, compelling characters or other qualities to balance the violence.The story itself focuses on Mary Crow, a woman who lost her mother to a violent murder and rape and whose entire life has been shaped by that traumatic event, eventually leading her into a life as a lawyer, prosecuting criminals. After trying several especially grueling cases in a row, she decides to take a vacation with two of her best friends. But two men (one with vengence on his mind against Mary, the other a deranged bad guy living in the woods) end up making the camping trip more terrifying than fun. There isn't anything particularly surprising about this book and you'll see what's coming ahead of time. If your interest is held by violence and you don't care much about characters seeming real, you won't mind reading this one - and your interest will be held. But I felt less than satisfied. |
