This book was extremely engaging. From the first few pages I was totally eager to see where the author was going with it--and I must say by the end I was genuinely impressed.I'd have loved to see a bit more background on what time period the piece took place in. There seemed to be a mix of confusing details--like the fact that there was some occult compound somewhere in the U.S. that holds people hostage and arranges marriages for girls at age 15.Of course any type of minor on adult sexual relations is highly illegal--so I would have been interested in knowing when this was all taking place. Every bit of evidence of life outside the compound suggests that the story is taking place in real time or in the very near future.This story really hooked my interest the moment I discovered that not only was the author writing about angels come to earth--but the fact that the angel in question had gone bad and was killing people to gain power.The story takes you through a lot of twists and turns as you discover exactly what the background of the main character, Melinda, is really all about--and why she can see angels and demons when others cannot.Child of Mystery is truly an intriguing tale.  One I'd be interested in reading more about out of sheer curiosity if nothing else.
