Rendition As Books You've Been Warned
Kristin Burns has lived her life by the philosophy "Don't think, just shoot"--pictures, that is. Struggling to make ends meet, she works full-time as the nanny for the fabulously wealthy Turnbull family, looking after their two wonderful children and waiting for her glamorous life as a New York photographer to begin. When her photographs are considered by an elite Manhattan art gallery, it seems she might finally get the chance that will start her career.But Kristin has a major distraction: forbidden love. The man of her dreams is almost hers for keeps. Breathless with an inexhaustible passion and the excitement of being within reach of her goals, Kristen ignores all signs of catastrophe brewing.
Fear exists for a reason. And Kristin can only dismiss the warnings for so long. Searching desperately for the truth through the lens of her camera, she can only hope that it's not too late. This novel of psychological suspense is a stunning achievement for thriller master James Patterson, "one of the bestselling writers in history" New York Sun.

James Patterson has been named " the author who never misses". I disagree. He misses by a wide margin in YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. It is not up to his usual plot excellence, and certainly can not be included in his suspenseful thrillers genre. This book was scary, but in the supernatural realm. If I wanted to read about ghosts and such, I'd pick up a Koonz book. Trick or treat time of year....this book was one colossal trick, and was absolutely NO treat for the reader. BOO, Mr. Patterson. Furthermore,The best way I can explain this book is that it is a really poor attempt at creating a story that would do The Twilight Zone or M. Night Shamalan proud. It fails on most accounts as it becomes a novel that is bogged down in an ability not to ramble on and on.Kristin, a young nanny from Boston who moved to New York three years earlier, finds herself truly in love with Michael. He is sweet, romantic, and everything she could ever want ... and more. The problems is that "more" is his yuppie wife
Minor Spoilers:I know people are going to look at my three-star rating and go "What on Earth was he thinking?! This book was terrible!" Oh, well. :) This book follows the story of Kristen Burns, an aspiring photographer who is, in reality, a nanny who is having an affair with the children's husband. What starts out as a dream spirals into a convoluted story of Kristen having macabre dreams and meeting up with people who should be long deceased. So really, it's nothing like the dust jacket says.

Well that was a strange one! I didn't see that coming when I picked up a James Patterson at random off the shelf. Mind you it is one with a co author and they can be unusual at times.You've Been Warned is definitely a Patterson like book. It has short, snappy chapters, lots of action and is fast paced. However it is different in that the main character sees dead people who apparently come to warn her of a very unfortunate future unless she makes some major changes in her life. She also has
A highly awarded 5 stars for "You've Been Warned" - I love these typically quick, fast paced, easy to read chapters that nearly always end in a cliff hanger. James Patterson has wrote many, many books and I've read a lot of them and can honestly say his books are always fab, he is a just a master at this genre. This standalone written with Howard Roughan is an excellent supernatural psychological suspense thriller that has you hooked from the start, it was chilling in parts and keeps you
From a blog post I wrote in 2007:If you're expecting You've Been Warned by James Patterson and Howard Roughan to be a 'typical' Patterson book, you're going to be disappointed.Sure, there are short chapters and a first person narrative. But, other than that it's not at all what you'd expect. The story revolves around a young woman in New York City who's got secrets in her past and present, obsessions for her camera and her married boyfriend, serious nightmares and who sees dead people. It's
