Sandra/Yasmin, I could be wrong, but I don't think so. The next book Zane has coming out (July 2003) is called Nervous and it is the second in the series to follow Addicted...the recurring character in all of the books of the series will be the doctor, Marcella Spencer.
The complete series will be:
Addicted
Nervous
Vengeance
Torn
Patience
I've read some of Nervous and am waiting on her to finish it now. It's about a woman who has split personalities that are exact opposites from each other. One is a naive, innocent, and a shy little thing while the other part of the personality is a straight up "ho" and she stops at nothing to get what she wants...men. I'm finding it interesting how she's switching from one to the other and that they're aware of each other. The "bad" side seems to have the most control out of the two...but I'm sure there's going to be at twist somewhere down the road.
I will admit that I've always been fascinated with the human mind and have even wanted to go back to school to study psychology. So, this is one reason why I'm really loving this book. It's my favorite of all her books so far.
I've also read parts of Skyscraper, but it was a few years back. I'm not even sure she's finished it yet, but I'll have to find out.
Sandra, did you read The Sisters of APF yet?

You're right Tee...I was tired when I sent the email and didn't even check to see which book I was referencing. Thanks for the correction. |

LOL...Sharon tell me about APF...should I move it up on my TRL? Is it a compelling read? Do you recommend it? I have about 8 review books so I don't know when I'll be able to get to APF but if you have some encouraging words I'm quite sure I can be persuaded to move it up...hehe. |

Yasmin, I enjoyed the Sisters of APF. I commend Zane for doing her thing as I can imagine that it would be difficult to take a short complete story and turn it into a novel. That is exactly what Zane did and did it well. Move it up on your list, you won't be disappointed and its a fast engaging read. I was done in an evening. |
