My review

Once I picked up this book and read the first chapter I knew I was going to be hooked! What an amazing book and storyline. I read this in a day so you can tell I couldn’t put it down.

This thriller has religion threading through the story along with family and loyalty and death. We follow the story of the main characters Amber and Chad. Each one has their own problems and set of worries.

I cannot tell you too much as I will ruin the story for you, as you must all read this one. Lets just say there is shock after shock and twist after twist that will make it that you will never forget reading this book. I have to say this is one of the best books I have read for a while. I am still thinking about it now and I finished it a while ago.

I would really love to read a sequel so I hope the Author is considering that as I think that would be amazing too. A very talented writer.
