Capricorn: Zodiac Killers #2

<strong>Great read yet again</strong><br /><br />This was an awesome book just like the first one "Zodiac Killer". It kept me on the edge of my seat and kept me guessing who's the mystery man/woman. I can't wait to start the next book. <br />??

OK, I'm hooked. The second installment builds even more tension (if that's possible) and drives the reader from page to page with a hunger to know what is going on that parallels the characters. Some conclusions arrive, but they are far from satisfactory. I believe that is intentional. And still the mystery persists. Who is threatening the lives of these people and why?

Probably still 2.5 stars like the first, but this one was a little less blatant with the sex so it was easier to read. Also, Tad is a somewhat likable person compared with all the jerks in the first one. May actually continue this series slowly...

Well decided to bite the bullet. Will try to read one of these monthly. Wasn't too bad except it get's too repetitive when it keeps telling you how the character's past is coming to haunt them.

I hate myself for admitting this, but I actually liked this book... It's definitely 3.5-stars but I can't bring myself to round it up to 4-stars.<br /><br />Where the first book was a bit disjointed and quite vulgar and leud, this one was more flushed out and, sure, still vulgar and leud but... Tasteful? Nothing about this is happy-go-lucky, and the more you find out the worse it gets, but it's fascinating to see how everything plays out. I have some hunches of who and why but I'll keep those to myself for now.<br /><br />I can't say I'd recommend this... But I'm continuing with the series.

I was given an ARC and here's my voluntary review. <br />Wow, this story gets always more intriguing!<br />There is suspense, tension, mystery, all good ingredients for a thrilling novel!<br />Some of the characters we met in the first book are developed here and we become acquainted with other sides of their souls. <br />The style is perfect, you won't stop turning the pages!<br />I can't wait to read the rest of the story!! Totally recommended!

I read the prequel, book one of this series and moved immediately onto book two, Capricorn.<br /><br />There's an improvement in characterisation as we learn more about Tad and Darek specifically but overall there are still too many characters that aren't fully rounded yet. A format is established as to how each subsequent book will proceed which can be quite comfortable in a longer series of books. However, I was disappointed with the ending of this book, the cliffhanger was a lot less punchy than in the prequel. There clearly won't be a resolution to the story as a whole until the very end of this thirteen book series which is a big commitment. I'm not convinced these books are strong enough to keep me entertained for that long. Capricorn lost a lot of the gritty adult themes from the prequel which left it a bit cold, it became more of a whodunnit crime novel than the thriller it started out as but maybe this book took an unfortunate dip and the next will be better.<br /><br />It's an easy read, basic dialogue, obvious heroes and villains. It would be a decent holiday read for crime fans. I still think the great initial premise would be better served as a more thorough BBC drama. Perhaps it's a strength for some readers that you could pick up the next book in the series as and when you fancy around your other reads. It's possibly the best way to enjoy it and probably what I'll end up doing...if I remember.

<strong>I'm Hooked!!!!</strong><br /><br />First off I want to give kudos to Ali and Lexi on this amazing series!!! This is a totally new genre for me, I mostly read romance, but I am hooked. This is the first book after the prequel and it will keep you mesmerized. Capricorn is Tad Halston's sign and is the focus of this story. Tad is a pretty boy with secrets that Bay only knows until now. Someone is after the twelve kids from Camp Victory of twelve years ago. The Zodiac Group has a secret to keep and someone is flushing them out with murders and threats. Dareck is a deceive trying for an FBI position but these murders are hitting too close to home for him and his past. One click this awesome murder suspense to see what happens when the Zodiac Killer sets his sights on your sign. Can't wait for Aquarius, I already ordered it!!!<br /><br />I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book<br />Thank You Ali and Lexi for a great read

WOW . This series of books just gets so much more captivating as it goes on. I Have recently just finished this second book in the series and its so amazing. The character of Tad is shown as the main character as opposed to Darek which i found very refreshing. His story is just so heartbreaking and tough and real. You are constantly on the edge of your seat as you read about the horrific murders and then twist of the ending of Tads character. But as well as this we have the constant fear that Darek and the boys from camp victory will be found out. Not to mention the ever pressing and frustrating romance and friction between Darek and Lizzy. This book is still dealing with adult and sexual themes but i still find it very interesting. I devoured Aquarius (the third book) right after i finished Capricorn but i wont write another review until the last book on this series. There is 13!

I loved this series so far mainly because...,<br />It’s meaty, there are lots of characters and lots of detailed back stories and plots and schemes and depth and quality to the writing. I can’t quite figure out if Darek is the ‘Good’ goody guy or the ‘Bad’ good guy, the first book had me believing the latter - now I’m not so sure. Tad’s story is so sad and touching, he’s been serially abused throughout his life and can’t seem to get away from his victim persona - a lot of that is down to his toxic relationship with Bay... who I must admit is Seriously high levels of twisted and messed up, Excellent series so far, can’t wait for next book.
