This book started out to be very scary. Voices of death and horrifying images in this little girls head, about put me off. But once I got through the beginning, the story line was easy to read and intriguing. I like the character Sam and thought that his choices to chose right from wrong were very realistic. The spiritual battles in this book were very present and can be very scary for someone who is not aware. I would definitely recommend this book to those who like scary books. Otherwise, it might be too much for the average reader. Some hard decisions are made in this book and I loved how it ended.
I received this book for free for the purposes for a review. I have not been compensated for this review. The opinions of this book are entirely mine.
I read some books a long time ago by Frank Perretti(sp?)"This Present Darkness" and "Piercing the Darkness" that were about the spirit world. Your review reminded me of them. I want to read this book and may go back read those again, I remember how much I enjoyed them! Thanks for the review. I love a good book.
ReplyDeleteI am currently doing a one-year Bible plan and it has me reading Revelations. I have always been scared of this book, I mean I know that we win in the end, but I hate the details until it happens. So I am being tested on this I know, but I will get through it! LOL! Maybe I should try those books, I have heard a lot about Frank Perretti!
