Jaguar Addams #5
The Green Memory of Fear
On Prison Planetoid Three, Jaguar Addams uses her empathic gifts to make criminals face the fears that drive their heinous acts. Very few escape the telepathic web she weaves around them . . . until now. When Jaguar takes on a home planet assignment, investigating a psychiatrist on trial for abuse of a little boy, she finds a killer unlike any she’s faced before. Dr. Senci’s psi skills are a match for her own, and unless she consents to do as he wants, he’ll use them to kill everyone she loves. Once she realizes who and what he really is, she leaves the Planetoid to go after him. But Supervisor Alex Dzarny isn’t about to let her go it alone, even if it means losing his own life to save hers.

Another great installment in the Jaguar Addams series! Not only is Jaguar on another deadly mission, but this time, Alex is out to protect her. Even though Jaguar usually keeps the romance on the down low, there are a few swoon moments in this installment. Chepaitis's dialogue with her characters is crisp, clever and really tugs on the readers emotions. I was elated, had chills running up my arms as well as felt some joy. Jaguar would rather kill herself than let Alex die, but he would do the same for her. With a psycho on the loose, all bets are off. Can't wait for the next one, A Lunatic Fear! If you like science fiction urban fantasy - definitely pick this series up!!

Jeez, I really like this series. Just when I think there won't be another one, the next one pops up. I find the world concept interesting and the author can really creep you out with the bad guys mental voice and actions. This book in particular disturbed me.
The main characters are always complex and layered and the relationship that has developed over the series continues to unfold. Some of the plot timeline was a little confusing towards the end. You figure it out easily enough but it's a little cumbersome.
I, as always, will be on the look out for the next one.

This book was just "ok".
I have not read the first book of the series which may have influenced how I viewed this one.
It was very middle of the road on just about everything.
Story was there but very vague. Characters were present but they felt "vague" too.
Even during moments of strong emotion, the reactions were very closed off to me. As a reader that means the situations and events had no lasting impact. Things happened, reactions noted, moving on.
The issues of child abuse (ALL levels and on multiple children) will probably turn most people away. It wasn't something I enjoyed reading, and thus thinking, about.
The baddie was Evil (with a capital E) but the whole explanation of what he was and how his powers worked was very lacking. I felt that I needed to do a Wiki search to find out more info!
The romance, while sweet was very understated. Almost non-existent in fact.
I definitely felt I may have missed some things from the first book. Probably the good stuff.
In this book I'm in the "friends or more?" stage and so the whole thing feels stilted and cold.
The ending packed a definite punch but I'm not sure it was enough to save the book.
Also, not sure if I like the idea of a child being involved. Again, something that most people should keep in mind.
I may have given the book a higher rating if there had been more for me to sink my teeth into.
Then again, I'm not sure I would want too much more detail on certain things.
