Review: Pretty Good First Novel
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 3, 2014
This Christian suspense novel was my first.  It kept my attention to the end.  The plot rolled out at a steady pace, there were some unsuspected surprises that cropped up in the storyline.Although I liked the book, some of the situations (like the two main characters living in the same town and meeting up by chance at the public library) were a little to convenient and coincidental.My favorite part of the book was the first 4 chapters of the book; the lead-in to the book (in these 4 chapters) really caught my interest.  The history lesson on Cardinal Wolsey and Hampton Court Palace was interesting.In the later chapters of the book there is enough action and suspense to keep the reader hooked on finishing the story, even if some of it starts to become unbelievable.If I could change something about this book I would leave out the Wiccan references since I see it as demonizing one religion while glorifying another.  I would instead put the onus for this suspense on something other than another religion.All in all this was a pretty good debut novel.
