Seeing Red

Sandra Brown

3.72 AVERAGE


This is my first Sandra Brown book and boy have I been missing out! It wasn't anything outlandishly spectacular, but it was exactly what a mystery/thriller book should be. I was engaged the whole time, I became invested in the characters, I was throwing out theories along the way. It was fun!

This makes me want to read more Sandra Brown, but there is a problem. She has written so many books I'm not even sure where to start. If you have read her other books and have a recommendation - hit me up!

A good story, but I'm not really into glorifying abuse relationships.
reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An enjoyable read, deserves 3.5 stars but I settled on 3 since there’s nothing to set it apart from all the other crime/suspense/thrillers out there.

Boy.... this one was lackluster. The villain wasn’t all that interesting and the reveals, if they can even be called that, were lacking.

Not my favorite Sandra Brown.

Sandra Brown rarely disappoints, and Seeing Red is no exception.

She can still pull off a plot twist like few can; unlike most suspense novels out there right now, I didn't see the ending a mile away, and I even think I gasped out loud at one point near the end of the novel. Like most of Brown's novels, Seeing Red was well-written, had a good plot and good characters. I thought Trapper was an interesting hero and Kerra was a great heroine. Definitely worth a read if you're into thrillers/suspense!

Sandra Brown did not dispoint with this book. great characters and fantastic plot twists. i love love loved Trapper 😍

Great audiobook narrated by Victor Slezak. I love Sandra Brown’s dynamic dialogues and interesting plots. Seeing Red does not disappoint. I felt the ending dragged a bit, but overall I loved Trapper and Kerra’s sexy, steamy relationship.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



Fucking genius!
It shouldn't come as a surprise having read a few Sandra Brown's before and yet I'm still amazed at how she nonchalantly places the pawns and makes me suspect every character in the book. By now I guess she would become somehow predictable... except she's anything but. She more than deserves her titles of 'Queen of plot twists' and 'Queen of Mystery'.
Only 30% in and my mind was already reeling with possibilities! A fast pace, twists and gasping out loud inducing revelations throughout the book made "Seeing Red" dangerous for my blood pressure! As much as I wanted to slow down and enjoy my reading time, I had no choice but to inhale those +400 pages, eager to know WHODUNNIT, damnit!

Sandra Brown, once again, made me doubt each and every characters and scheme to most inconceivable theories, constantly reevaluating every hypothesis.

You like a good romantic suspense? THIS IS YOUR BOOK. It starts with a bang, hooks you in and keeps you on your toes!
Bonus : A brooding and obstinate hero with a scruff opposed to an honorable and determined journalist, Sandra Brown builds up sexual tension like NO ONE ELSE. Banter, sarcasm and antagonism is a hell of a cocktail and she serves it burning hot, with sex scenes becoming the culmination point to a thoroughly built attraction. Seductive, provocative... Perfection!
“You'd blush to know all the places my wandering mind has taken me. I've touched you, tasted you...”He wedged his hand down between them and cupped her sex. “...everywhere.”

She keeps you engrossed in the investigation but the attraction between the main characters feels so potent you almost want to forget about the whodunit and focus on the romance between Trapper and Kerra.
He might have gone on forever just kissing her if not for a greater hunger that he must gratify or die.

I loved how rugged and cynical the hero—John Trapper— was, a man's man, exuding confidence and nerve but also so much charm—I you like heroes coming across as jerks! The banter between him and Kerra or his friend, Carson, was truly hilarious, and I truly fell for his brand of humor: dark and caustic.
-‘We didn't finish our conversation.’
-‘Yeah we did. Message received. You're morally superior and don't want to screw the likes of me. Fine. Occasionally I ask, but I never, ever beg.’

Recommendation : EXTREME
