#1 New York Times bestselling author Terry Goodkind reinvents the paranormal thriller with a provocative, page-turning walk among evil. Kate Bishop is in a world of trouble. In the wake of several inexplicable and brutal murders, Kate is thrust into a police inquiry that reveals shocking family secrets. Suddenly exposed to a shadowy network of global evil, her life takes a dramatic turn with the arrival of Jack Raines, an author with a mysterious past, who says he has the answers to her questions. What s more, he suggests that Kate herself might be the solution. But hot on their heels are a force of super-predators, vicious and bloodthirsty killers who will stop at nothing until Kate and Jack are eliminated. Like Jack, they ve realized just how special Kate is, and now she s marked for death. An explosive mix of action and suspense, Nest is a landmark new novel from worldwide bestselling author Terry Goodkind, and a complete reinvention of the paranormal thriller. Travel with Goodkind on a dangerous journey to the back alleys of the darknet, to the darkest corners of our minds, and to the very origins of what it is to be human, a place few have ventured and fewer still have survived."

There were parts that I enjoyed. Overall, it was decent. Some parts flew by & I was sorry they were over so quickly.

The last 30 pages are thrilling. The first 300 are terrible. I suppose this was written to be the first in a series about people who can identity killers by looking into their eyes, but the book spends so much time explaining the idea ad nauseam that I just didn't give a damn by the time the action started.

In addition to a good opening paragraph it has a pretty cover. And, to be fair, after being lectured to for several hundred pages the heroine rescues herself in the end. Just a shame it's so dreadfully poorly written, and the world view espoused makes Fox News look moderately left leaning. Pretty cover or not, this book goes in the bin. Not inflicting it on a second hand store. (And I never bin books. Making an exception.)

readordierachel Yikes. Sounds like you'll need a palette cleanser. 6y
Leniverse @ReadOrDieRachel Yes! Or at least I need something that is 1) well written 2) contains no torture, disembowelment, eye gauging, or rape, and 3) no evolutionary pseudoscience or 4) right wing conspiracy theory propaganda. 😆 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai I really enjoyed the first few Sword of Truth books back in the day...but they went downhill reeeeeeeally quickly. 😒 6y
Leniverse @GrilledCheeseSamurai Agreed! That series started to go very wrong around book 4. Book 5 was a disaster. I'm not sure I read beyond that. I should have known better than to try this book. 😜 But now, never Goodkind again! 6y

Look at that opening paragraph! What a great hook! Unfortunately it's the only good part of the book. I have 50p. to go and think I would rather have my eyes removed (as happens in the book). If Ayn Rand and Ted Nugent had a political love child it would be this book, only better written. The plot is a flimsy excuse for political conspiracy theory and dodgy evolutionary biology. >50% is people explaining the sorry state of the world to the MC.

slategreyskies Ugh. Sounds tiresome! 6y
Leniverse @slategreyskies Very. I'm also tired of the phrase "bad guys", as it must have been used about 12 dozen times. It makes the characters sound like they're about 8 years old. Murderers? Bad guys. Terrorists? Bad guys. China? Bad guys. Hackers? Bad guys. And so it goes. 6y
Moray_Reads I loved the first few books of his Wizard's First Rule series when I was young. And then I got older and I realised the politics were awful and impossible to ignore. Totally overwhelmed the story and the characters 😝 6y
Leniverse @Moray_Reads Likewise! I thought the first three books were quite exciting, but then he just lost it completely. I found Nest at The Works for Qa and was curious to see if maybe he'd write a decent thriller. But it's awful. 6y

2nd time reading and still a great read. There were a few sections that felt like the author was on a soap box but overall I enjoyed it, hope for a sequel in the future.
This book is very violent and has many triggers.

Trying to break out of this month long reading slump. Hoping this creepy read from one of my fave authors will be the cure.

Kate Bishop finds herself helping the police try to solve not only her brothers murder but others as well. You see Kate has the ability to identify killers just by looking into their eyes. Because of this ability the “nest” of killers are stalking Kate and want her dead. Truly an edge of your seat read!

This was a pretty good thriller. I really liked the idea behind it with technology playing a big part in the story. I also really liked the way the author brought in some other elements as well to enhance the story. Some of it got a bit too technical and it became boring in areas. Despite that, I did really enjoy this book!

It was a pretty good book, a couple of dry parts, but if you push through out makes a pretty good story

Can take it any more. 100 pages in and nothing is happening but a bunch of 'splaining by the author.

schmia This seems like a book for which many (myself included) don't have the patience coming off the election of a historically unqualified fascist who said racist and xenophobic things anytime he was handed a microphone. I recently posted about books by conservative authors I think are genuinely smart and interesting (and both women) even if I don't agree with everything they say - but this novel just sounds like a paranoid angry white male narrative. 7y
BamBamSushi I couldn't have said it better myself schmia!!!!! 7y
Leniverse The whole book is more of the same. The plot is a flimsy excuse for the author's political views. He should just drop the excuse and write a manifesto. 6y

And more of it. Gee I wonder why some people feel that way. There are people who are terrified of being shot and killed due to the color of their skin. Get off your soap box and get on with the story.

72 pages in and so far this seems to be a rant about how the public does not revere cops like they should. I'm getting irritated. It has nothing to do with the plot either (at this point). It's things like this and it has occurred multiple times and feels constant. It gets in the way of the story. Plus there's no opposing view point about it either suggesting that the author needs to find another place to rant about their political leanings.
