Product Description
NOTHING'S MORE TERRIFYING... One by one, the victims are carefully captured, toyed with, then subjected to a slow and agonizing death. Piece by piece, his exquisite plan takes shape. The police can't yet see the beauty in his work--but soon, very soon, they will... THAN BEING LEFT ALONE... In the lonely woods around Grizzly Falls, Montana, four bodies have been discovered. Detectives Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli have been hoping for a career-making case, but this is a nightmare. Even with the FBI involved, Selena and Regan have nothing to go on but a killer's cryptic notes, and the unsettling knowledge that there is much worse to come... TO DIE... When Jillian Rivers opens her eyes, she's trapped in a mangled car. Then a stranger, claiming to be a trail guide named Zane MacGregor, pries her free. Though she's grateful, something about him sets Jillian on edge. And if she knew what lay out there in the woods of Montana, she'd be truly terrified. Because someone is waiting...watching...poised to strike and make Jillian the next victim...

 Disenchanted October 12, 2008
I just finished "Left to Die" by Lisa Jackson and I can't even begin to describe how unfulfilled this book left me! I had a hard time picking it up since it was filled with so much fluff it became boring from the very beginning. But being a past fan of Lisa Jackson, I was sure it would pick up momentum once into the story. I was wrong! Not only did the original storyline focus on the serial killer and his victims, but the secondary plot seemed to override the first three quarters of the book and then just switches to an alternate primary plot. Anyway, to top everything off, the book doesn't end and evidently we are expected to wait until August of 2009 for the conclusion. I refuse to buy that sequel because of the huge disappointment of it's predecessor. Now that I got that out of my system, I think I'll go find a "good" book to read!
I'm SO annoyed... October 11, 2008
I can't tell you how irritated I am at having read this entire book, only to be told at the end I have to wait at LEAST a year before I find out who the serial killer is! The mystery they actually solve wasn't even the interesting one. Furthermore, I probably won't even remember the particulars of the plot in a year (hey, I have things to do). Writing a book without an ending is just so obnoxious!
In closing, if you must read this, at least wait until the sequel comes out, so you can find out how the story ends.
Very Frustrating.... October 8, 2008
This is a good story line, and very suspenseful with good plot twists. I am angry that the author didn't finish the story, instead - if I want to know what happens - I have to buy the next book when it comes out in 2009. I find this annoying, I am going to move on to another author who actually has a beginning, middle, and ending to his/her stories.
 Left to Die- A Joyfully Recommended Title October 7, 2008
He has a plan. Only he sees the beauty in it. His victims go from being terrified, to being relieved, to being shocked and terrified at the same time. The game he plays is a game that only he knows the rules for.
The police have found his first four victims, his cryptic notes, and the realization they have no knowledge of what he is trying to do or who he is. They don't even want to contemplate where he is going with his game. They do know they will not like it.
Jillian Rivers is in a car accident. Unknowingly, she is part of a killer's game. When she is freed from her car by Zane McGregor, she is not sure what to think or what to feel.
Left to Die had me from the first moment I started reading. Ms. Jackson knows how to start with a bang and keep the tension going from chapter to chapter. She makes the reader think about how safe can sometimes be not as safe as we think. I found myself so enraptured with her writing, I could not put the book down. I needed to know who the killer was, if I figured out who the killer was, and where Jillian and Zane were going to end up. And I was flipped all over mentally, and I still did not figure it out. I was so very impressed with Left to Die, I have to Joyfully Recommend it.

 Not A Complete Story Unto Itself! Stay Tuned for a Sequel! October 1, 2008
I strongly agree with other reviewers. I am greatly disappointed with the lack of plot closure in Left to Die.
Unless clearly stated, readers reasonably expect an author to provide a completed story in one volume. Page 497 "Dear Reader" is too late to be making this announcement. If the book cover had stated "Part One", I would've have accepted this lack of closure without complaint. Not knowing the story is "to be continued", until reaching the final chapter and finding it unresolved, is unacceptable.
Personally, I prefer to read a series from beginning to end, or at least over a relatively short period of time. Otherwise, the emotional interest I've invested in the previous book has disappeared by the time the sequel comes out - and I'm less likely to purchase it.
The bottom line is that once the reader has momentum, he/she wants to read the entire series. Since the readers are the ones who buy the books, I hope that Ms. Jackson and her publisher will listen to them and reduce the amount of time between books.
I rated this book a four instead of a five based on the lack of plot closure.
