Wicked #3
Something Wicked
From the bestselling Sisters of Suspense, the third installment in their New York Times and U SA Today bestselling series featuring a cult-like group of women with psychic abilities - reissued for the first time since its original release a decade ago!
YOU SENSE HIM
Some refer to it as the Colony. To others, it’s a cult. But few locals in the Oregon coastal hamlet of Deception Bay have ever been invited to the inner sanctum of Siren Song. Even the sisters who live here, far from strangers who might recoil at their unnerving psychic abilities, don’t know all the terrors buried within its walls…
YOU FEAR HIM
Eight months into a surrogate pregnancy for her sister, Kristina, Detective Savannah Dunbar just wants to wrap up paperwork before taking medical leave. But her department’s investigation into a brutal double homicide has suddenly become much more complex—and personal. And now there are disturbing rumors about the Colony, its matriarch, and a long history of bitter secrets…
BUT YOU CAN NEVER STOP HIM
Death has come to Siren Song before. But this time there will be no refuge and no remorse. For everything born in wickedness must die that way—and a killer will not rest until he has claimed them all…

I really wanted to like this book more than I did, but somehow I found it difficult to get into and even harder to stay focused upon. I don't enjoy any book that I can easily be distracted from. I think the main problem was that it seemed to lack cohesion. There were far too many incidental characters and details that didn't add much to the story, and then in the end the characters that mattered most weren't really ones that were mentioned much at all. I had trouble bonding with any of the characters, even the main character Savvy. I think the story could have used a lot of editing to remove some of the unnecessary details and to provide a little better foreshadowing regarding the important plot twists at the very end.

I thougth this book of Lisa Jackson's was really good. Her "Wicked" series deals with the women of Siren's Song, a commune like "cult" of women who have special powers. NOW although I'm not really into the paranormal/fantasy/woo-wooo shit, I do find, Lisa Jackson adds a great deal of mystery, suspense, thriller, and a little romance which keeps me coming back. The "special powers" are pretty much more like a 6th sense, they can feel danger, or see something that could happen in the future, so thigns don't get to woo-woo weird like.

Review:
This was my first time reading a book by Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush so i had HIGH Expectations since all the reviews on Goodreads were fairly high rated but sadly this one was a little disappointing mainly because of the slow start to it and the drama between 2 of the characters that i felt was unnecessary.
The Characters were OK but none of them really made me say "She/He is my favorite so far."
The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book with helping solve the murder/disappearance with them while reading especially when the scenery was described.
Overall an OK Mystery Thriller iin the Wicked and Colony Series but ive read better Thrillers!! I will read more by Lisa and Nancy but i hope their others arent as slow starting as this one was.

It has taken me a while to get really invested in this series. The mystery swirling around the colony of gifted women is definitely strange, but now that I am connected to the characters it really is exciting to see the evil one close in on his targets. There are twist and turns that carry on to the very last page. I look forward to reading Wicked Ways.

A little bit chaotic, but the storyline about the Siren Song women (and men) is intriguing. I think I have to keep reading this series.
Overall rating: 3.5/5.0 stars.

I enjoyed this book. I didn't realize it was the 3rd book in a series. I always like a good mystery, and this had one, at least to me. Savannah is a dectective, whose a surrogate for her sister, Kristina, and husband, Hale. There's something going on with Kristina, but Savannah doesn't know if it's the baby, or Hale. Savannah is asked by Catherine Ruttledge, the leader of Siren Song, who the town people think is a cult, into something. Is it tied to another case, the Donatella Murder, Savannah's office has just reopened?
There are a lot of different characters in this book, but I was able to keep them separate. Some readers said it made it to confusing. I guess I will have to go back and read the first 2 in the series, before I move onto the 4th book.

Disappointed in this book. A little too out there! Then at end looks like there is a sequel which I will not real.

Something Wicked by Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush is a Kensington/Zebra publication. This was a May, 2013 release.
This is the third book, I believe, in the "Wicked" series.
In Oregon the small enclave of Deception Bay, we revisit the strange family of women that seem to have certain "gifts". The girls are now being cared for by their aunt Catherine. They all feel the imminent arrival of "the devil". He's coming and Catherine is very worried. Worried enough to confide in Savannah, a detective in the Sherriff's department.
Savannah, is pregnant with her sister's baby. She gets the feeling that her sister and brother-in-law are getting cold feet about becoming parents. Her sister has been acting strange lately. Savannah is determined to work until the last possible moment on a murder case where two people were found dead.
Then the unthinkable happens- Savannah's sister disappears and another double homicide takes place. Do these homicides have anything to do with Catherine and her nieces? What does Savannah's sister have to do with any of it and how does it all tie together?
I really could not decide how to rate this book. It was multi-layered mystery, a good dose of suspense and just wee bit of romance. At times there was almost a Gothic feel to it when the book was focused on the "cult" of women. I got a real spooky feeling sometimes while I was reading this book. However, there were times when the story got too busy. The thoughts of the killer, the thoughts of Savannah's sister, the real estate development disaster, the relationships of Mary, the girls mother and the havoc she reeked on the lives of everyone in the community, the murder investigation, and Savannah's pregnancy made it hard to keep up with everything.
There were some unbelievable aspects as well. Savannah is a better woman than me if she can give birth under dire circumstances and be back at work in two days, doing physical activities and able to fit back into her regular clothes right away.
The very tiny amount of romance was also a bit unrealistic, in my opinion. If I had endured these monumental life changes, I just don't think romance would be in the fore front of my mind. I know there was a bit of paranormal nudging to the relationship's development, but under the circumstances, I don't know how appropriate it was to have the relationship start the way it did.
After a period of time had passed, I could see it happening, but I thought it was just way too rushed.
The book had good points and bad points. I do believe we will hear from the "girls" again sometime in the future.
Overall this one gets a C+.

Possible unfairly of me it is getting a 2 star rating. It is, for the most part, competently written. It gets a 2 because it is just so damn trite - damsel in distress saved by a handsome, rugged, strong patriarchal archetype.
Just shoot me now.

Ok, this one was a little too queer for me....
May 9, 2026
I struggled with this book, it was too long, too complex (it did not need to be, as the story was good before the complicated additions), there are too many new characters, needlessly I feel, who did not enhance the storyline but detracted from it was instead. I am, however, enjoying the main theme in these books so I will read the rest of the series, but I feel I will be left with more questions than answers due to the increase of characters.

"Something Wicked (Wicked #3; Colony, #5) by Lisa Jackson was an intense thriller book. The book was engrossing that it only took a few days to read the entire book. I read this book as a standalone and it surpassed my expectations. A cult of women with powers which involved the characters in one way or another. Romance, mystery and thrilling. A must read.

Pretty wicked, yes ! Set on the Oregon coast a family of women with different super powers. And then the men with evil super powers. Law enforcement tangled with family and quite a tale is woven.

This book was okay. Sad and weird are the firs words that come to mind after finishing the book. I’m not really sure what to make of this book.

Decent characters, fairly absurd woo woo powers, improbable plot twists, but still good pulpy fun. If I can keep the eye rolling on an even keel, I might read more of the series.

Just too unbelievable. Felt like it was just churned out....if I had been reading it and not "listening" in the car I would have abandoned.

Savannah is acting as a surrogate for her sister Kristina & Hale St. Cloud. But Kristina isn't acting like herself and and at various times ask both her husband Hale and sister Savannah if they believe in sorcery.
Before taking maternity leave Savannah is hoping to wrap the Donatella case up, she has also been asked to investigate Mary's death by Catherine who wants the investigation kept on the DL. While Savannah heads to Portland to interview some Bancroft employees, Kristina goes to meet her lover "Good Time Charlie" aka Declan Jr (Mary told him he was Declan Bancroft's son) who attempts to kill her. Kristina is found still alive and taken to the hospital. Hale calls Savannah to tell her and she starts home from Portland only to be caught in a storm in the mountain pass when she goes into labor. When Hale finds out Savannah is wrecked on the side of the road and realizes that the emergency services are stretched thin he goes to rescue Savannah himself, and winds up delivering his son on the side of the road. Shortly after Hale, Savannah and Baby Declan get to the hospital Kristina dies.
Catherine is in the hospital after "falling" at Siren Song and Ravinia and Ophelia are there with her. Ravinia takes the chance to talk to Savannah. Catherine also starts opening up to Ravinia and gets her to help with digging up Mary's body and putting it in the grave with Mary's tombstone on it and removing the bones of Declan Jr's Father. When they dig up the grave they discover "the bones" are missing Catherine realizes Silas (Mary's son with Hale's Father) removed the bones and burned them on Echo Island after he gives Ravinia the adoption papers Catherine was looking for. Catherine also ask Ravinia to find her daughter Elizabeth and keep her safe when Ravinia leaves Siren Song. Ravinia seems to be accompanied on her journey by a mysterious Wolf.
Charlie captures Savannah and takes her to the Donatella house, and uses Savannah to lure Hale there. Hale calls and tells Detective Clausen Savannah is in trouble and Clausen says he will meet him at Bancroft Bluff. Clausen gets to the Donatella house before Hale and Charlie shots him, but Savannah manages to escape. While Charlie is pursuing Savannah a homeless man (Mickey) enters the Donatella house and starts building a fire. Shortly after that Hale arrives and then Charlie enters the house intent on killing Hale. Mickey manages to trip Charlie and he falls into the fire. Savannah enters the home and a badly burnt Charlie shoots at Savannah and Hale but hits Mickey before he escapes with the help of Hale's former nanny.
Really wished more questions were answered in the book, the secrets seemed to be doled out sparingly and there always seem to be new questions that need answers.
* I think Mickey/Silas/Wolf may have been the same person. And Mickey's fate is unknown. We know he was hit, but we do not know if he survived his wounds.

I don’t understand why so many did not like this book. I thought it was very good. Yes, there were a lot of characters but it was not difficult to figure out who was who. The books should be read in sequence. The main character is Detective Savannah (Savvy) Dunbar who is a surrogate mother for her sister Kristina. She is only a few weeks away from giving birth and should not have been driving in a blizzard. Stupid on her part. She was in a hurry to get to the hospital where Kristina is fighting for her life after she was nearly killed. Savvy has been told by several that Kristina was seen in one of the empty houses having sex with a man that is called "good time Charlie".
When she starts having contractions, she calls Hale St. Cloud, Kristina's husband, who hurries to find her. He helps deliver his son and takes Savvy and the baby to the hospital where Kristina is. Another person has been brought here too. Catherine, the leader of the colony, fell in the snow and hit her head. She tells Savvy about the son of a man who tried to rape her. This son has the evil of his father and is coming to kill Catherine and the others. He is the one who killed her sister Mary. But who is Charlie? No one really knows who his real name is or where he can be found. He thinks he is the son of Declan Bancroft and the company should be his.
He forced Kristina into wild sex and she was there when he shot and killed the owners of the house. He thought he had killed her when he hit her in the head with a wooden beam and he sat beside her waiting for her to die but she held on spoiling it for him. Now he tries the same thing with Savvy but she blocks him and thinks about Hale and the baby.
He had taken Savvy and Hale was on the way to rescue her. One of the detectives came first and Charlie shot him and watched the life leave his eyes. Savvy got loose and ran but he was after her. He came back when he heard Hale. Savvy looked and saw three figures--Hale, Charlie, and the homeless man Mickey. There was a fight and Charlie fell into the fire. Savvy ran to Hale and Charlie disappeared.
Charlie was receiving telepathic messages from someone that he thought was one of the sisters in the colony. The messenger was a man. Who? Another brother?
A lot going on but I enjoyed the book.

June 10, 2013Interesting
While I cant dislike the book I was not thrilled with it.
I have read better books in this genre.
The biggest hurdle that I had was not on the writing but on the way it read on my Nook. The page numbers were in the middle of the pages and the authors names also. Most of it was formatted as double spacing. Some areas were single spaced but 95% was formatted weird.
The murder possession theme was slightly weird but all in all an interesting read. I thought the changes of thoughts were a bit abrupt. (My feeling on this may have been the way it was formatted.)
All in all I give it a 3. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t that memorable. I just finished it yesterday and all I can remember of the characters is Sister 1 (Detective) is surrogate for sister 2 and husband. Husband builds houses and they are falling into the ocean. Double murder in one of the condemned houses. Enter group of women with special “Gifts” who live locked away from the rest of the population.
Sister 2 thinks she is going nuts and Sister 1 is having fantasies about Sister 2’s husband. Enter murder ‘brother’ of women with “gifts”. He kills a bunch of people with no evidence at any crime scene. Sister 2 is killed and sister 1 is still on the case. Too many characters to keep up with on a poorly formatted version. Hopefully that will be fixed soon.
If your into the paranormal you will probably like it a lot. It does have that.

A dark supernatural thriller, Something Wicked will send a shiver up your spine. I'm sure I'll catch some flack for this, but it is my opinion that men write better horror than women do. I'm not so close minded that I don't give female authors a chance, obviously since I entered the giveaway for the book. In any case Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush can give any male author of horror a run for their money.
This is the first book by either author that I have read. As I understand it, Lisa Jackson tends to fall into the romantic suspense category. So I would imagine that some of her normal readers may be disappointed since this book is light on romance. I hope they would at least give it a shot though because it is a great read.
**I have received a free copy of this book through a GoodReads First Reads Giveaway.

SOMETHING WICKED is a suspense mystery which leaves the reader guessing until the end as to the killers true identity. Although it is part of a series, I had no problems following the story even though I'd not read any of the others.
The story opens with Echo Island and the discovery of a dead body posing more questions than answers. Then, we go on to meet the main character of the story, Savvy who works as a detective and is very pregnant. At times the story is disappointing when you realise scenes are just too unreal for words, ie having a baby, in a blizzard and back at work the next day and at others you're wondering how could you kill this character off. Overall the story is excellent and if you like a good mystery you'll love this book. Be warned though, there's more coming in this series.

Had mixed feeling about this one. It was a fun and exciting read but just too much going on for me. Then the end left me wondering.
