I loved this book! Fast paced, exciting, and kinda creepy at times!
I made the mistake of reading this book while I was camping... O_O
Overall, a very good book-I learned a lot too :)

This book had me for the longest time. Scary, thrilling, adventurous. But, as I continued reading I began to wonder if I was reading the children's classic, "Where the Wild Things Are". A story of a kidnapped woman living amongst a family of Bigfoots/Sasquatch in the forest... it was at this point that I thought the story got quite hokey and couldn't bring myself to finish it.

Well, it was definitely an interesting introduction to the world of Christian literature.

I didn't know what to expect when my book club selected this book. I was hooked! It had suspense, gore, mystery, and a bit of coziness. I loved it!

I’m not sure how this got on my list. Generally responses to a FB post I write down are the odd ones on there. This isn’t my general genre so it started off at a deficit. I thought the story was alright. There some twists but I didn’t care for any of the character really. I listened to this and it was read by the author. That was partially a good thing but somewhat over the top with emphasis and the added sound was a turn off for me.

to cheesy for my taste
