My thoughts:
I have read many of Colleen Coble's books and I have enjoyed most of them. This, however, isn't one them. I hate to write a negative review, especially when it's a Christian book, but I have to be honest.
I had two major problems with this book. The first being it was too violent, in my opinion. Several murders took place in this book and most of them where described too much for my tastes.
The killer was creepy and the way he murdered people was weird.
The second problem I had was inappropriate content.
Two unmarried characters had had an intimate relationship with each other in the past. They both repented of it and asked each other for forgiveness, but they still struggled with lustful thoughts throughout most of the book. That tended to make the book a bit suggestive at times.
I'm sad that this latest book by Colleen Coble wasn't great. I hope that her books in the future will be better.
My rating: 1.5
