Heart Sick,............and twisted!!! April 20, 2008

Just finished this book and ready for the next! Lots of twists and turns and a real page turner. Ms Cain brilliantly created the relationship between Archie and Gretchen and towards the end you could understand how Stockholm Syndrome could happen in this situation. I'm eager to know more about both characters! Put this book on your wish list!
 Heartsick - Chelsea Cain March 1, 2008
There is little to add to the reviews already written which rightly appraise "Heartsick" as a strong debut and excellently explain the plot and characters.
All I would add to these are that the theme of psychological wounds and how to deal with them together with the victim/tormenter relationship is interesting - and rightfully remains unanswered.
I agree with the other reviewers that this is a gripping read and will evolve into a good series but I felt that the red herring added in was easily seen through and that the ending was too contrived for me.

I brought Heartsick in August 2007 and was sceptical of a novel involving a female serial killer but I have to say that it has been the best book I have read in a very long time. The main characters in the book are Gretchan Lowell - serial killer who has perfected the art of inflicting unimaginable pain on her victims and Archie Sheridan - detective hunting her! It is not long before the hunter becomes the prey and Gretchen Lowell acquires her greatest prize off all Archie Sheridan. Chelsea Cain expertly shows the reader the bond developing between the two and as you read the tension in the book builds at an extraordinary pace. This is one of those rare finds - a female serial killer, a gut retching plot and a book you will not be able to put down!!!!
I simply cant wait for the follow up novels - Sweetheart and heart breaker whcih are due within the next 2 years

I looked at this book several times before deciding to buy it and I'm so glad I did. I thought it was excellent. I could hardly bear to put it down and consequently read it in two days. I'm really looking forward to the next book whenever that may be!
