Hey guys,
I just received my copy of Romantic Times magazine, December issue and had the pleasure of reading the review written for Devil In The Mist...here is an excerpt, the entire review will be posted on their website in December or you can read a full review on my website.
ROMANTIC TIMES MAGAZINE - DECEMBER ISSUE - ROMANTIC SUSPENSE RATINGS AND REVIEWS:
Devil In The Mist - 4.5 = Fantastic-a keeper
"Dorce weaves a diabolical plot that holds readers captive from the first page. Set in Atlanta, years after the Olympics, this novel centers on Zack Monstar, who risks everything to protect those he loves and to face a stealth killer who claims the lives of everyone in his path.....Dorce spins a tale of corporate conspiracy, germ warfare, greed and human determination that readers will not be able to put down. Her characters are well developed and really fit the setting of the book. This is not your typical thriller-with-a-happy-ending; it's a realistic representation of the underworld and it will leave you eagerly anticipating her next book." |

update - RAWSISTAZ Review 4 stars :
DEVIL IN THE MIST: A Biological Thriller by Diane Dorce
Door of Kush, November 2005
377 Pages, Paperback, $14.00
ISBN: 0758212860
Genre: Suspense Thriller/Mystery
RAW Rating: 4
A Biological Thriller
Zack Monstar is a detective assigned to what appears to be just a murder case, in the heart of Atlanta. Yet, upon closer inspection, the bodies are damaged so badly it's impossible to identify them and one has symptoms of a virus that is circulating in Africa, killing thousands of people. After numerous events, which close off all leads, Zack begins to believe some type of conspiracy is taking place. Witnesses begin disappearing and everything leads back to World Health Systems (WHS), a company known for its biological work locally and abroad. Dead end after dead end, Zack continues working the case, with the assistance of Regina Miller, an employee at WHS. Neither of them are sure what's going on or who is behind the murders, mayhem, and mystery of the deadly virus, but they do know their lives are at stake.
Diane Dorce, in her debut adult fiction book, introduces a fascinating and sexy image of good guy Zack Monstar, whom I look forward to seeing in future books. Readers will immediately love him, become interested in his background, and want to know more about his life as a detective. Additionally, Dorce does a great job of keeping the reader immersed in the happenings of the story, the development of the various characters, and the outcome, to find out who is behind the original murders. It is suspenseful, a bit horrifying, and has a touch of romance that will appeal to readers across various genres. The one thing, however, that would make the book better is a round of proofreading to catch the typographical errors as they were a bit distracting and slowed down the story. Fortunately, DEVIL IN THE MIST is intriguing enough the reader will want to continue. It is a realistic portrayal of what big companies have the power to do to an unknowing world.

Man, I've got to find a way to spend more time on the board.
