This was just fabulous. It's another book in the series of the Bentz/Montoya and Our Lady of Virtue sanitarium.

It's amazing how Lisa Jackson has connected Absolute Fear, Cold Blooded, Hot Blooded, and Shiver. The same characters keep popping up. And I was absolutely STUNNED with the ending of Absolute Fear. I just know she'll be writing another soon. LOVE this writer! :)

This book was fantastic! Lisa Jackson does a great job of weaving her characters together in a way that is relevant to the story. The ending of this book was perfect. Concludes this novels story but,leaves alot of possibilities open for future novels.

If you are a fan of Lisa Jackson don't miss this one. If you have never read her before,give this one a try!

In her stunning follow up to the 2006 best seller "Shiver," Lisa Jackson has proven that there's room for a little romance amid all the death and depravity. Absolute Fear is part of the Bayou series, which includes, "Hot Blooded, Cold Blooded, and Shiver." The plot line is in depth and complicated yet developed simultaneously with the characters, in such a way that Absolute Fear stands on its own. This book has it all, child abuse, scandalous behavior within the church, unethical medical practices, sex, murder and mayhem. Having enjoyed this novel on every conceivable level, I have added all three previous titles to my list of must reads.

Absolute Fear is an Absolute Best Seller! Lisa Jackson has continued her series, while creating a novel that stands tall on its own merit. Jackson's ability to explore the inner workings of this characters depraved mind is an astonishing literary feat, that should not be overlooked. Successfully delivering to the reader a fright filled journey into the dark recesses of a madman's desires, while maintaining a relationship filled with explosive passion places Lisa Jackson in the company of the best! This book has the perfect mix of secrets, lust and murder to keep readers coming back again and again. And with the door left open at the conclusion, we can hope that there will be another installment.

Enjoyed the audio book Absolute Fear. The story held my attention to the end.

I finished this book but almost stopped a few chapters from the end I was so sick of the ridiculous behavior of the characters. Eve is maddening. She thinks her lover shot her and he would have been in prison except her story wasn't solid enough to go to court so the guy gets out. Meanwhile, he's lost his job as an attorney, possibly his license, his home, and car, and all his worldly goods. Still, he goes running back to her against his attorney's advice with no obvious resentment of any kind - just sweet, and loving and patient. She, on the other hand, is on and off. She's has a legal order to keep him away, then she cancels it. She's constantly hot and wants him to take her to bed, or cold and ordering him out of her life. She takes no sensible advice from anyone. None of the women in the story do - they are foolish people every step of the way.

Another great book by Lisa Jackson. It was a real "page turner."

Absolute page turner. The research and fore thought involved in writing this book is absolutly mind boggling. As you read and she brings clues to light the reader is awed by how it all pulls together. You will not regret getting this one!

I really enjoy Lisa Jackson's New Orleans series. What's nice about this book is that it introduces new characters as the main characters so if you don't read the others its fine. Pretty good book. Lots of plot twists and of course my favorite detectives, Bentz and Montoya. Lots going on and the history of the characters make you grateful you didn't grow up in that family.

Meh. The first book in this series, "Shiver", was spellbinding. "Absolute Fear" was a tired copy. Not as exciting since a lot of the plot devices were recycled.

Good mystery. Recommend reading Jackson's book "SHIVER" before reading this although not necessary. Characters from Shiver are further developed in Absolute Fear.

If you like Lisa Jackson then you will love this audio cd. This was the first book that I have listened to and I can say that this book kept me on the edge of my seat till the very end. It is truly a Pulse-Pounding Novel of Madness, Deceit, and Twisted Revenge. This was my first read of Lisa Jackson and I will say that I will be reading more of her. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes listening to something that will definently keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen next.
