Review:

This wasn’t too bad of a story. I found myself quickly drawn in to the story and the world came alive around me as I read. I found it to be easy reading and enjoyable. Though this was youth fiction and I am no longer a youth I still found it to be a book that I enjoyed. The story really does leave you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next. I have always loved mysteries and books that make you think so the beach scene mystery really caught my attention and kept it. Best of all, unlike the mysteries and books I read when I was younger, this book has a positive, godly message contained within. The main characters, Jon and Tara not only face a spine-tingling mystery, but also many questions that drive them to God and develop faith. Stories like this are wonderful. They not only entertain readers but teach them about God without forcing Him down their throats. It is a much-needed form of not only entertainment, but also education. I really enjoyed the book and think others will also feel the same about the book. A great story by a talented author.
