4.0
A mysterious girl. A dark night. A frantic rescue attempt. When Tyler and Chris are out fishing one night, little did they expect to rescue a girl from drowning. They expected even less that this girl would have such a huge impact on their lives.
Reese has a story. A sadness so great it consumes her. Little did she expect to find the truth about it.
A story filled with good and bad, light and dark, battling each other in a most real way.
I thought this was a fascinating book. It was nothing like I expected. I got it because a friend recommended it and it was free through Kindle.
I am not sure how theologically sound it was, but it was a fascinating portrayal of spiritual warfare, and I loved how they portrayed Christianity as Oneness. I thought it was a beautiful explanation of irrevocably becoming one with other believers.
As far as clean goes, it was about as clean as you get. There were maybe two minor curse words, but that was it other than the intensity of the topic.
My complaint is what I normally say - I wish it had been longer! I would have loved to get to know each of the characters more and watch them interact. I felt like it needed to be flushed out more than it was.
*Spoiler Alert*
I expected Tyler to be the love interest, which I think would have been cute, but I am excited to see where Chris and Reese go.
