Customer Reviews

Absolutely addictive.

I love this book. It has twists and turns that will keep you reading it well into the night. I can't put it down. I'm currently awaiting the arrival of Lisa Jackson's other novels and I can't wait to dig in. Great writing! 👍

Absolute Fear Review

Absolute Fear was the second book in the New Orleans series. The characters were familiar and I enjoyed them in this book. The new characters were very intriquing. The end really stunned me. I couldn't believe that Kristi saw her father's death in the near future.

Absolute Fear--Lisa Jackson

This is a wonderful book one you can't stop reading. Lisa is great at with twist and turns through out her books. This is a must read! Be sure you buy Shiver first...so you get the total feel of Our Lady of Virtues Mental Hospital. I read around 3-4 books a week and I'm always waiting on Lisa's newest book to arrive.

Suberb thriller

Three months have passed since that fatal night that still haunts Eve Renner, the adopted daughter of Dr. Terrence Renner, former chief psychiatrist at the now closed Our Lady of Virtues Mental Hospital. That evening her borderline paranoid childhood friend Roy demanded Eve meet him at his Uncle Vernon Kajak's remote fishing cabin as he has evidence. Instead the serial killer the Reviver murdered Roy; Eve saw her boyfriend Cole's face just before going unconscious. She suffers from amnesia, but fears Cole is this number tattooing psychopath avenging an apparent affront received at the asylum. Detectives Reuben Montoya and Rick Bentz lead the investigation but though they question Cole, they lack evidence to hold him. As the cops try to stop a deranged killer from adding new numbers to the body count, Eve believes answers to the murderer's identity and why can be found in Our Lady of Virtues Mental Hospital where she grew up. However, she needs help so she wonders whether she should turn to Cole, who just might be the killer. ABSOLUTE FEAR will bring shivers up and down the spine of the audience every time the Reviver leaves his tattoo numbers behind on the latest corpse. Eve is a terrific central character as she wonders if the man she loves is the killer while deciding to uncover the truth by going into the asylum where she knows "hell" awaits her. On a personal side note for those fans following these Bayou thrillers, Reuben's fiancée Abby Chastain thinks Eve might be her half-sister. Though asylum serial killers and heroines with amnesia can be trite devices, Lisa Jackson keeps her plot brisk and fresh as the action-pack twisting story line thoroughly entertains readers.

Absolute Great Read!!!

Suspense, thrills, chills and romance what a fantastic read!!! I love a book that it easy to follow, but not easy to predict. This is so important with thrillers and mysteries. Absolute Fear is one of Jackson's best! Eve has unspeakable horrors happen to her. When she finally is able to go back to her life, those horrors just won't leave her alone. Now ritualistic murders are happening and they are somehow linked to Eve. She has to turn to Cole, the man who was once her lover, and who may be a killer.
