I'm not quite sure about what to say about this book. There are things I enjoyed and liked about this book, but others were disappointing. First, I was (still am) confused about the series. It's supposed to be about Ollie Chandler, but in this first book he wasn't the main character, the story was more focused on Jake, so I don't know if the rest of the books in this series are going to be like this. Second, even though I'm a Christian, this book was too preachy for me. But I appreciate the themes of abortion and salvation throughout the plot. There were some predictable scenes, and I wasn't surprised with those ‘twists' in the story. However, there were some things I definitely didn't see coming. Overall, I would say it's a good book, a bit slow in some parts, but fast paced in others.

I won this book through GoodReads and I thank to publishers for providing me this copy. My review isn't influenced by this fact.
