MY THOUGHTS.....
It's happened again! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to learn the identity of a serial killer responsible for a surge of murders in Sanctuary, Tennessee. Who was killing young women and leaving them, clad in white with an angel figurine in their hands? What evil was lurking in the beautiful Smoky Mountains?
Shattered Sanctuary introduces ex-police officer Erin Delaney and Police Chief Adrian Nightingale, along with the return of FBI profiler Kaely Quinn-Hunter. I loved seeing Kaely in action as she worked to find the killer, counsel Erin in her struggles with PTSD, and also keep both of them alive! Erin was a non-believer so it remained to be seen if Kaely's Christian witness would be strong enough to convince Erin that God was real.
This blend of intriguing characters, thrilling suspense, and Christian faith is captivating; I marvel at Mehl's ability to show the best and worst of mankind! We are reminded that evil exists, but redemption is possible, forgiveness is freely given, and God is all-knowing and ever-present! I recommend Shattered Sanctuary to all who enjoy Christian suspense, and I look forward to more books with Erin and Adrian!
I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
