I thoroughly enjoyed this book although it was not exactly what I expected. I picked it up on sale during a store closing and never even read the back to see what it was about. The title sounded good and the price was right so I bought it.
At first, it flowed like a typical mystery/suspense novel and had just a dash of the paranormal. The story was engaging and fast-paced and there was enough intrigue to keep it moving. As the mystery unfolded, however, it became clear that reincarnation was one of the primary themes of the book.
Honestly, I don't believe in reincarnation and I usually wouldn't bother reading a fictional book that delved into the subject. But the author created a story that was so believable that the paranormal aspects of the book seemed...well, normal.
Best of all, in spite of a few hairy moments toward the end, the author wrapped things up in such a way that all loose ends were tied up and I was left completely satisfied by the conclusion.

I bought this in audiobook format not realizing it was a "supernatural thriller". I would normally never chose this genre... but it was a very pleasant surprise. Considering the way characters intertwine, this could have been a difficult listen, but it was not! It all comes together in such a perfect way! The end is spine-chilling!! I really enjoyed this book!!

This book had potential- I like the fact that the main character was linked to multiple past lives... wow, great twist!! But then her boyfriend had this too? Um, okay. Wait, now Evan embodies her mum? Okay, now I'm just rolling my eyes.
A review I once read made me laugh because the reviewer pointed out how "middle aged" the author came across when speaking about technology or current slang. I felt the same way with this book. I'm sorry, but who had dial up internet anymore?
And why is the insult "fruitcake" used so often by these hardened criminals? Really? Fruitcake?? Oooh, I'm scared!
Also, people don't "do a Google."
I suppose the main issue I had was how quickly it went from a crime mystery with a paranormal twist to a full fledged Sci-fi fantasy complete with time travel machine. Just confusing.

Supernatural Thriller. I've been on odd string of supernatural books lately. Not on purpose. And I'm not a big fan so when I realized I'd picked yet another one I did a hard eye roll but I continued on and I'm so glad I did.
The storyline pulled me in and I was fully within it's grasp and it was not letting go. Not much I can saw without giving it away. Just insane how it all comes together. Of course, as long as you believe in the supernatural. And in this case I believed, it was all to crazy not to just go along for the ride.

This book certainly has an interesting plot line, one I’m not sure how I feel about. I don’t know, there was a lot going on and some things felt a little too far fetched. Obviously the whole plot of the book conveys things that are hard to believe, but the thing with Evan and Anna was too much for me. The ending felt a little underwhelming, throughout the book many people die but Anna’s final decision makes everything pretty much moot as all the bad guys die and all the good guys live.

Very well written. Great ending

Written by Robert Gregory Browne, just under 10 hours of listening in the unabridged version. Kill Her Again is book three in a series: A Fourth Dimension Thriller and released in February of 2014 by Audible Studios in audiobook format. The original paperback was published in 2009. Until writing this review I was not aware of the series - so as you can imagine, the book stands alone.
This story begins with a beautiful, vulnerable, fragile FBI agent called upon to assist in the investigation of a grizzly murder, more than one victim, missing children. Combine this with the agent being subjected to the bizarre visions of an abducted little girl. Enter a handsome hypnotherapist whose wife murdered his little boy. Throw in reincarnation. Sounds like a winner, right? Sadly, the book doesn’t measure up to the potential of this intriguing plot.
Why I liked. Everyone is intrigued with reincarnation, no matter if one believes or not. The concept is rich fodder for fiction and many wonder: ‘What if...?’. Rather than a typical ‘who-done-it’, Kill Her Again is about preventing the cycle of murder transcending multiple lives over decades. A really cool concept for a book.
Why I didn’t like. Execution, initially. The author introduces a sage-sooth-saying fortune teller, candles, tarot cards and all, as a solution to explaining plot, characters, and tying up loose ends. A cop-out to fleshing out the story with more creative writing. Another reason I wasn’t too wild about this story: The 'grandfather paradox’ … Google it … of changing the past isn’t addressed and, the ramifications are food for thought the author ignores. This is a plot hole, in my opinion, because in the scenario presented it would be a factor. You may find it peachy. An interesting ending, but predictable.
Via an Audible special, acquired this book as one of many narrated by Scott Brick. He does okay - no trouble discerning who-says-what-to-who. A clean read, no explicit sex, no language issues. A listenable book … but I’m not motivated to continue the series.

Like a so-so episode of the X-Files, Browne’s book brings pulp style and a whole heap of coincidences to a fairly unlikely plot where a sinister gypsy appears to be bumping off incarnations of the same woman over and over again. To say more of it will spoil what surprises there are. Which is not to say there are many of them, the plot is pretty well signposted throughout, but the enjoyment in these crime thrillers is to be had almost exclusively from watching them click along their pre-ordained paths, not from trying to figure out who the killer is a la Agatha Christie. Bloody these plots may be, but this type of low-rent genre fiction offers a kind of comfort. This is particularly in the case of Kill Her Again, with its overtones of fate and arrow-straight seam of true love.
It’s easy to see the book as a mid-range Hollywood effort, and it is exactly as imaginative as that makes it sound. In the end it’s a massive case of sibling rivalry. The police procedural aspect of the story is a long way from Thomas Harris’ quality, while the supernatural goings on are at best serviceable. If you want the definitive scary American gypsy story, read Stephen King’s Thinner. This is pulpy trash; diverting for two hours, but one to toss in the airport trash when done.

Oh good grief. Words cannot describe how much this book irritated me.
This book is about a female FBI agent. She is called in to help solve a child kidnapping, after her mother, her mother's boyfriend, and her sitter are found dead in her home. They initially think her brother has been taken too, but he hasn't, he just scarpered, so he can't be seen by the baddies, when they arrived. The problem is he's so traumatised, he can't speak any more.
This book has a potentially interesting premise, but once it's established we take a random left turn into weird when psychic links between people are formed (cops and children, dead spirits and other children) are formed to push the story along. I know. Dumb right? Once it's taken this left turn into Crazytown, you're stuck there. I've read book where this happens (The Outsider by Stephen King does it well for example), and it can work well. It's just this book isn't one of them, and I'm inclined to say it's probably not worth reading.

So I really disliked the writing style of this author. His word choices and descriptors I found severely lacking(like, she wasn't classically beautiful, but there was something about her that made her beautiful), and every time I picked this book down I swore I wouldn't return to it.
However, the premise got to me and the author did a great job expanding on it to the point I wanted to know how it ended. The author also did a great job of leaving just enough information out so that I couldn't figure out the ending without either skipping ahead and reading the ending or just reading the whole book.
I chose the latter though this one took me longer to read as I didn't enjoy the writing style. Still, in the end I enjoyed the book enough to finish it... and that's why I gave it three stars.

It's like a good episode of the X-Files; FBI agents, paranormal phenomenon, and a little bit of sexual tension.
