She'd spent her lonliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling resort off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending to her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all--a photo of her mother...naked, beautiful, and dead. Now Jo must return to the island, and to her bitterly estranged family--and, with the help of one man, learn the truth about her tragic past. But Sanctuary may also be the most dangerous place of all... Insightful reviews Joana Marques: De vez em quando sabe bem voltar a Nora Roberts. Uma leitura mais leve, que não nos obriga a pensar, que nos abstrai dos problemas que nos rodeiam e que, quase sempre, se torna agradável. Desta vez a autora leva-nos a conhecer Jo Ellen, uma fotógrafa profissional que tenta superar o abandono da mãe no passado, que foge de casa para construir uma vida autónoma sem precisar da ajuda de ninguém. Mas depressa Jo percebe que, como dizia Hemingway, “nenhum homem é uma ilha”. Depressa percebe que o passado não pode ser simplesmente apagado e que é a companhia dos outros que nos permite superar os obstáculos e viver. Quando começa a receber fotografias suas, demasiado pessoais, Jo percebe que algo está errado. Mas não imaginava que no meio delas surgiria uma foto da mãe. A mãe que os abandonara há 20 anos, sem nunca mais dar notícias, aparecia agora na foto nua e morta. O que seria real naquela foto que desaparece misteriosamente? Tudo isto leva Jo a voltar às origens. E as suas origens estão em Desejo, uma ilha quase privada onde está a bela casa de família conhecida como Refúgio. 20 anos depois Refúgio é um hotel familiar dirigido pelas hábeis mãos da prima Kate, e dos irmãos de Jo, Brian e Lexy. Mas o passado desembarca com ela na ilha e quer confrontá-los a todos com o que aconteceu há 20 anos… A história está bastante bem construída, como é normal na autora. As descrições de Refúgio e da ilha são fantásticas. Apetece-nos ir lá passar umas férias. As personagens estão bem delineadas e são interessantes. Como sempre, nos livros de Nora Roberts, há o romance. Neste caso três casais, os três irmãos, que enfrentam os seus medos de abandono. E depois há o policial. A ânsia de descobrir o assassino, o perseguidor de Jo. No entanto achei-o bastante fácil de identificar. O ponto fraco? O fim. Demasiado rápido e sem a emoção que se esperava. Um livro para quem gosta da autora, para quem quer um livro fácil de ler e que, apesar do tamanho, é bastante rápido. Samantha: I loved it. It was great. Full of suspense, love, and mystery just like all of Nora's books. I loved the island setting, too. It was easy for me to paint the image in my mind being a Floridian. Amber Beasley: Didn't care for this book all that much. I liked the plot and the main idea for the story. And I really like the mystery of it. But for one thing, it was a little too easy to figure out. A little too much Criminal Minds, I guess, but I picked up on who the stalker/murderer was pretty easily. Also, the characters were really annoying. They can't decide what they want, who they want. and they're constantly yelling or telling each other off. I understand that that is kind of what the story is about, but it got old after so much of their bad attitudes. There was way too much language. I don't like hearing a curse word every other word in a movie, why would I want to read it in a book either? There's no reason for it, and I don't want to pointlessly have these words going into my brain every other line of the page. Also, WAY too much sex. Sorry, but you can totally tell a woman wrote this book. Yeah, when a male writer writes a love story, there is sex. But it is not explained in detail. In Nicholas Sparks' novels, I've yet to find much more than "and they made love". That's it. No further explanation, I think we get it. And I love that. Men don't go into detail. Apparently female writers do, and feel the need to because of some fantasy or whatever. I can handle maybe one detailed love scene in a book, but please, I'd rather not read it every other chapter. I really liked the end of this book, which is probably the only plus I can really say about it. It was alright overall, but I'd only give it two stars. It just isn't my kind of story. Nikita (NjKinny's World of Books & Stuff): Jo Ellen Hathaway is a well-known photographer and has it all- name, fame, cash delight yet something that also eludes her is psychological peace. She is haunted through goals of her past. whilst she left Sanctuary years ago, she had was hoping of leaving her horrid prior in the back of however the secrets and techniques and sadness nonetheless stick to her. as though this isn't enough, she is now being stalked via a person who's sending her images of herself clicked everywhere, in and out her house. Afraid yet decided to not provide the stalker the pride of seeing her afraid, Jo keeps together with her common routine. yet then comes an image of her lacking mother, appealing yet dead, that leads her to a worried breakdown and weeks within the hospital. Now she needs to return to her estranged relations and to Sanctuary to stand her demons and settle the previous forever. Her stalker isn't really a ways at the back of and the secret of her mother's disappearance 20 years in the past nonetheless remains.I had no longer learn any booklet from Nora for nearly a yr and so whilst I picked Sanctuary to read, i used to be very excited and expected an exhilarating journey. i used to be no longer disappointed. The booklet is particularly crisply written with specialist use of poetry, witty dialogues and goosebumps inspiring scenes. the tale is definitely considered and admirably executed. even though i used to be a section dissatisfied with an excessive amount of of savagery and nastiness and felt that this would were toned down a section without opposed impression at the secret that's superbly woven. i used to be hooked and completely spooked correct from the beginning and because the tale advanced my curiosity and interest to grasp extra additionally increased. even if i used to be in a position to pinpoint the most offender ahead of his disclosure within the book, this did not have an effect on my entire engagement with the tale which saved me glued to it until eventually the very end. :)Nora has tackled 3 romances during this e-book and all dealt with brilliantly. She indicates that she is able to dealing with a number of characters with their separate story-lines in addition to constructing the most story. Nora Roberts has proven a development of relocating from sweet, homely romances with nice mysteries to candy romances with grisly, abhorrent legal mysteries. even if this is strong in a few cases, I simply want she does not thoroughly forgo of the candy and fresh romantic suspense tales she gave past in her career.The characters are robust humans divided through their misunderstandings and absence of communique but if they arrive jointly to struggle a typical cause, its a good sight.All in all, a really gripping tale that might pull you and preserve you hooked until eventually the end, thus, proving a superb timepass. With many nail biting moments and a promising plot, I provide Sanctuary a four out of five and suggest it to readers above 18 years of age.This assessment can be on hand on my web publication Njkinny's global of Books FreeNightFalls: - Your mom all of sudden disappears and also you simply suppose that she has deserted your family? You by no means record it or glance extra heavily into it, seriously?- Your pal by surprise disappears and also you locate it unusual yet don't do something approximately it, seriously?- Why Nora Roberts LOVES placing a personality of a slutty sister in nearly each book? i will identify dozens of her books with the sort of character. This one (Leslie) was once slutty and stressful similar to any other.- Nathan virtually fucks Jo's sister, yet manages to forestall in time, and that makes it okay? do you want to be with a guy who will get a boner round your more youthful sister? i would not imagine so.- Brian looked like a pleasant man till i noticed he's only one of these assholes who prefer to annoy ladies and push them off till they cause them to cry and endure basically simply because they're insecure and once they reach that, in simple terms then they can announce their "huge" love. complain please. - in terms of the mystery/crime part, i need to admit that it used to be kinda.... creepy and interesting, although it left a good looking undesirable flavor in my mouth. RNOCEAN: two decades after her mother's disappearance, Jo Ellen will get images within the mail. they're pictures of her mother: a few candid, a few close-up, and a few of her naked, beautiful, and dead.Jo Ellen hasn't been again in years. She idea that she had left that condo many years ago.

With assistance from one man, she learns the reality approximately who's stalking her and in regards to the sordid past. however the danger that drove Jo again to the island within the first position has her there. And Sanctuary proves to be a extra harmful position than somebody had ever thought.Nora Roberts's newest novel, Sanctuary is a narrative of harmful liaisons and relatives betrayals. Roberts's characters are correct there, genuine and honest. those characters are the plot. they create you right into a assorted international for a time and maintain you there with their story, their words.****Rate this four out of 5. i have not learn Norah Roberts before, yet I did benefit from the secret linked to this one. relatively a superb learn overall, saved my curiosity and that i loved the characters.
