Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)
Read: August 2024
Format: Kindle e-book
Challenge Prompt: ARoCF’s, “a suspense book by an author you haven’t read before”
Book #81 of 2024: New author to me. This is her debut novel and it’s a strong start to a continuing series.
This novel had very likeable characters without making them ‘perfect.’ Corina’s tragic past is a lot to take in. There are a lot of tense moments and suspense in this story. I actually would have preferred a little less of that. More info about the characters would create a better balance for me. I didn’t feel I got to know them as well as I would have liked.
The dedication to friendship with Bryce and Allye (pronounced Allie) toward Corina was remarkable. I wish I knew more about what it was like before Corina and Bryce had parted years before.
The ‘hair’ scene raised the hair on my arms! That was my favourite suspense scene. Corina’s moment of surrendering it all to God was my favourite non-suspense scene.
I look forward to book 2 with Allye as the main character.
