Review
This novel is the kind of read that is perfect for a Sunday afternoon. There is suspense, mystery, intrigue and romance and the concept and location of the novel is original. The mystery was sufficiently interesting enough to keep you turning the pages and trying to figure out what had happened. Everyone was not whom they seemed (Poor Cara!). The romance was sweet and believable. Cara’s character fit her circumstances; she never came across to me as annoying and the decisions Rourke made, made sense. Spiritually, Cara has to trust God to be faithful and Rourke has remember that vengenance is the Lord’s. If there was any drawback, I would say that the novel is pretty straightforward. Yet, it was still a page-turner. Overall, a good book. Recommended!
