"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7My sincere condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. God bless you and those still seeking reunion with the missing.
"The tragedy of a typical American--a salesman who at the age of 63 is faced with what he cannot face: defeat and disillusionment." (Goodreads)The inner workings of the Loman family relationship was intriguing here ...old fashion, endearing, and frustrating. There's a social class moral going on about the American dream ...will you really go far if you work hard?
"A freak storm has spawned three tornados that are bearing down on the town of Summerville. Yet under the cover of the storm looms a much more ominous threat: A vindictive killer known as Red who’s left a string of victims in his wake and is now bent on exacting his final revenge on the unsuspecting town. But there is an enigma surrounding Red that the FBI is unwilling to admit—closely guarded secrets of something gone terribly wrong beneath the skin of Summerville. Secrets that will destroy far more than one small town. Wendy Davidson is caught in the middle. She’s a recovering cult survivor who takes refuge in Summerville on her way to visit her estranged mother. And with her, four strangers, any one of whom could be the next victim..." (CD blurb)Listening to this over a two week period may not have been a great idea. I think I missed the heart pounding effect it would have had, had I read it. Nonetheless, I still sensed the twisty thriller that I'm becoming aware of Mr. Dekker's writing. This one played on the core of reality and beauty. It was a bit psychologically gory for me though. And I'm not sure about the ending too ... I want a definite game over! ~BTW, I will get to the highly recommended Dekker book, Blink. some day ...I just keep forgetting to check it out when I'm at the library!! :)
"Clarity "Clare" Fern sees things. Things no one else can see. Things like stolen kisses and long-buried secrets. All she has to do is touch a certain object, and the visions come to her. It's a gift. And a curse. When a teenage girl is found murdered, Clare's ex-boyfriend wants her to help solve the case--but Clare is still furious at the cheating jerk. Then Clare's brother--who has supernatural gifts of his own--becomes the prime suspect, and Clare can no longer look away. Teaming up with Gabriel, the smoldering son of the new detective, Clare must venture into the depths of fear, revenge, and lust in order to track the killer. But will her sight fail her just when she needs it most?" (book's blurb)Being busy lately with real life affairs, my reading time was sacrificed. So, it's been difficult to get through a book. I'm glad I stumbled into this one because it was just the right light and entertaining read I needed for a relaxing break. It had a nice balance of mystery and romance. The light whodunit aspect was a wonderful surprise. The simple prose, the enthralling storyline, and the captivating characters made this a seductive read. It was quick, refreshing, and packed a spellbinding effect. The ending rounded the book well and gave enough appeal for the sequel. It wasn't the kind of cliff hanger that left you angry at the author for potentially waiting a year for the continuation ... I was satisfied but eager enough to await for what's next.
