toralea32's review against another edition
dark
Wow, Christian ghost story is right. Felt similar to something Peretti or Dekker would write (only with more ghosts I guess), so I wasn't surprised to see Peretti on the author's list of influential writers. It didn't really challenge my theological views like the summary claimed because, you know, fiction and all, but that certainly didn't affect my enjoyment of the book.
I believe this was one of my free kindle books (not sure, I've had it on there for a while now), and it was pretty good for a freebie. I love good Christian fiction, and I'm always up for a good ghost story, so I was intrigued to see how the two would mesh together. It worked out pretty well as it turned out. Unsurprisingly, a lot of it was attributed to demonic activity of some sort, but it was a lot more inclusive of proper ghosts than you'd typically expect to find in a Christian book.
It had a few of the random typos you'd expect in a kindle book (especially a free one!), and I'm not into the horror genre enough to know if it's overly cliched or not, but it definitely kept me glued to my kindle until the very end, and it handled the Christian element well (intertwined in the story without getting preachy or extraneous), so overall a great read.
All that said, I should probably warn that the past "perverse events" referenced in the book's summary are indeed pretty nasty. No explicit details or anything, but still definitely something to be aware of before heading into this bookÂ
