Peretti's route through story is a rough and bumpy one. Hubs has walked in on my listening twice now and has heard the two scenes I hate most. "It's a Christian book, honest," I giggled. Yeah. If one has to explain that, you got a problem. I'm a lowly indie author and not a NY Best Selling one, so what do I know, but in my own work I feel is wise to NOT plant visuals in readers minds that may cause one to stumble.

The pacing in this book is killing me. I switched from my paperback to audio so I can black out during the repeated explanations about what or who is killing people in the town. Just. Get. On. With. It. Yesterday while painting my flower boxes outside I heard "you know" in the dialogue so many times, I stopped painting and asked the author to "please stop" down to my paint brush.
