All Lips Sealed....

I just got hip to Collen Dixon and I can't quite understand why....Well this is the 3rd book of a "quadrilogy". It all starts out with Simon Says then Behind Closed Doors ..In My Father's House and now Every Shut Eye. One could pick this book up and enjoy the read without having read the prequels....I'd compare that to taking a shower or a long hot bubble bath. This book had me going. Definitely a page turner. I tried to guess and came close on some points, some points I missed totally. I'm now on the final book and I really don't want the story to come to an end but I guess just as every road.....Money well spent!...My eyes might have been shut on Ms. Dixon...but from here on out my eyes are wide open and when I see her name...it's going to be a "no-brainer purchase"....

Don't Be Fooled

I waited for the sequel to Simon Says, and was not disappointed. I found the storyline stimulating, with the characters coming full circle. Every cliffhanger was answered, and the ending took me completely by surprise. Kudos to Ms. Dixon. I can't wait for the sequel to "Behind Closed Doors..."

Remember Me?

In Simon Says by Collen Dixon, we met the ruthless Simon Blake, Mayor of Washington D. C. Alex Baxter, his son-in-law and aid, discovered a seedy side of Simon and his business holdings. It is a story of power, political intrigue, greed and betrayal. Alex, a boy from the hood, met Simon's daughter Tiffany in college and the two became friends, protectors and lovers through a series of tragic events. EVERY SHUT EYE by Collen Dixon is the sequel to Simon Says. As the story opens we find Alex and his wife Tiffany Blake Baxter still reeling from the events of a boating accident and the powers that be touting a spin on the misfortune to protect Simon's name. Although EVERY SHUT EYE is the sequel to Simon Says, Dixon penned a second novel, Behind Closed Doors: In My Father's House, which introduces the affluent and mighty Cavanaugh family of Washington D. C. via New York. This same family plays an integral role in EVERY SHUT EYE, and it is amazing to watch how it all plays out! Dixon is an amazing mystery writer, leaving no stone unturned as the reader navigates through the history of the Blake, Baxter and Cavanaugh families. Her descriptions of places, things, and peoples' emotions are vivid and uncanny as she introduces and reintroduces some savory and humorous characters. Dixon also provides thorough information so that EVERY SHUT EYE can stand on its own, but why miss the chance to read Simon Says and Behind Closed Doors: In My Father's House? They are very good reads and mystery buffs will simply love this series. Each book gets better and better as more tantalizing information is revealed. (RAW Rating: 4.5) Reviewed by Dawn R.
