Ratings and reviews

It has been a long while since I read one of this author's books, but once again, Sharon Sala proved to be one of my favorite authors. Last Rites is 400+ pages and I read every word. There was no superfluous filler that is often used to increase word count. Every word had purpose; each one carried the reader further into the world of Last Rite. There was plenty of suspense and romance. While there was an open door to the intimate scenes, there was no vulgarity nor crudeness, just a sweet encounter. Last Rite had several things going on. There was the stalker, a senseless shooting and the treasure hunt. The author wove each thread into the novel with a precision honed through her prolific writing. Sharon Sala moved me to tears and provided comic relief; and I absolutely loved it! 10 stars (although only 5 stars count)
