Rating: 4 out of 5

When I started to read Thorns of Betrayal, I noticed it was the second book in the Spirit of Destiny series. I went online and saw that The Wishing Well Curse was the first. My curiosity was piqued enough, and I read that book before finishing Thorns. I'm glad I decided to do that. It made my enjoyment of the second in the series much better, since I had the story behind many of the returning characters, like Zeke, whose story is told in the first book. Something else I also enjoyed in this book and series was the interesting blend of Christian faith and the paranormal.When it comes to the main characters, I liked Rose, and I found her story to be compelling. She had gone through so much in her life before she had turned 18. Because of that, I found her to be a sympathetic character, and I understood her fears and her hesitation. I wanted to keep on reading to see how things were going to turn out, as there were elements of mystery too. There were other returning characters including Pastor James. He was in the first book as well, and I took an instant liking to him.I recommend this book to anyone who likes a blend of paranormal, faith, and christian fiction. I also recommend reading the first book, as it has some events that tie into Thorns of Betrayal, which I give a rating of 4/5 stars.
