Review # 1 was written on 2016-05-05 00:00:00 Thomas Gradante Those who loved her O'Malley series, will find this nearly equal in quality. It is intense, draws your attention from the first page, and makes you keep reading. I really enjoyed this!! What I liked: -The first chapter. WOW! It pulls you in right away. I had a hard time putting it down after that. -The sisters. Love them. I can so understand how it feels being far away from a sister and my throat choked up on the reunion. -Marsh and Conner. Before their POV's were introduced, I really liked Luke, but after that he didn't draw my attention as much as his officers. I didn't think about Marsh that much until... -Around page 310. I mean, I hated it, so why am I putting it her? But it moved the story along really well and I liked that. But oh my...talk about emotions! I had to set it aside for awhile after that part and take a deep breath. -MARSH!!! (just read the book before I give away everything!) -The suspense. As usual, Henderson makes you sit on the edge of your seat. I kinda guessed the suspect as the end neared, but I still think it was a really neat twist. -The spiritual content. Good as usual...a few great intense conversations. Church is mentioned, but never any scenes when they attend. No verses quoted (which I would have liked). What I didn't like: -I find that the author has relationships move really fast. Like a guy meets a girl and then two days later he kisses her. Hm. But besides that, I think the relationships were sweet and fun to read. -The end wasn't as riveting as I hoped. I was expecting this huge dramatic ending, but it was just slow. I think a few details could have been cleared up. -I got so confused with Caroline, Amanda, and Marie. I have no clue why. By the end I had their names sorted out. I think that was just me :) -Some might find it annoying all the different POV's. I think Daniel's was a little unnecessary, but all the others were good. A few things to keep in mind: -Two kisses. Slightly detailed. Also some of the characters talk about kissing. Not detailed. -Some mentions of a man that had a few affairs. Never detailed. -At the beginning brief thought that someone might be raped. Not detailed. -Three scenes mention dead bodies. Mainly talks about blood being splattered, the smell, etc.. Not quite as good as the O'Malley series, but I think it is pretty close in my opinion. Lovers of a good, Christian romance, suspense, and mystery will find this book riveting. Go read it!

Review # 2 was written on 2010-11-20 00:00:00 Robert Blume I must admit this is the first Dee Henderson book I've read so I didn't know what to expect. I bought it because it was said to be a Christian romance thriller. It begins with a bang and I couldn't put the book down for the first quarter or so. Then, it seems to go into slow motion for the next fifty percent or so. Then it kicks in again for the close. I was okay with the resolution of the story, unlike other reviewers. I didn't spot the lack of editing as some have reported, but I was distracted by the use of "couple" without "of" after it. I had never seen that before and it appeared a number of times. I watched for the Christion view, and felt it was subtle. Not preachy at all. Just a few personal prayers, some discussion of one's belief in God. I noticed that there was no swearing or the use of alcohol or drugs. This I appreciated. I plan to read more of her books.
