I never thought I would like this little paperback so much! It kept me turning pages to see what would happen, and I couldn't put it down --- the recipe for a good book. :) It was a fun, weekend read. I read it on the plane and I found myself wondering what would happen and got really into it! I was impressed with Brown's ability to get into the mind of Lozada's character which really added a creepy, mysterious factor to the story. Good read! ...less

This book was an easy read, and it was ok, but not one of my favorites. I had a somewhat difficult time connecting with the characters, but the storyline was sweet, although somewhat unrealistic. It was my first Lori Wick book, and although this one wasn't on my favorites list, I would like to read another one of her books to get a better feel for her as an author. ...less

Wow, this book is absolutely incredible. This book touched me so deeply and the resounding truth behind the story brought me to my knees. The metaphor of this beautiful story is completely undeniable, which made it one of the most powerful books that I have ever read. As a woman, there is something inside me that was able to relate to Angel on so many levels, and the feelings of unworthiness and mistrust that plagued her every day. I loved that Rivers included so much of her inner monologue in the story, because that really enabled us to get to know Angel for who she really was, and we saw her inner struggles between God and her flesh. I was absolutely amazed at Michael's unconditional love for her. Time after time he would pursue her, and bring her back home to him, and it caused me to think about all of the times that the Lord pursues me and brings me back home. I absolutely LOVED the last 75 pages or so of this book, I just couldn't put it down. I found myself completely overcome with the beauty and the resounding truth that was laced through this entire book. One of my favorite quotations from the book is actually in the note from Francine Rivers at the end of the book. She describes the book of Hosea as, "A deeply moving story of His passionate love for each of us - unconditional, forgiving, unchanging, everlasting, self-sacrificing - the kind of love for which most people hunger their entire lives, yet never find." As followers of Christ, we have that kind of love ready and available to us if we so desire it. This book motivated me to seek that love from the Lord on a deeper level and truly helped me to understand the meaning of redeeming love. ...less
