This is not my typical genre that I read but a friend recommended it to me. This book kept me fully engaged the entire time! I was so impressed and had no idea who the shadow man was till the end. I’d love to read a sequel!

This book literally sparked my love for reading after my 2 year reading slump. It is a phenomenally written mixed-genre work of art, to say the least! The author expertly weaves the multiple genres into a tale of suspense, love, courage and so much more. To say it has it all is an understatement. This book would appeal to any and all book lovers. Anyone looking for, quite simply put, a GOOD book. Hats off to Sarah Elmore on her debut novel! I doubt this will be the last we see of her and her amazing work, and i geniuenly cant wait to read the next one!

I just finished reading "The Knowing " and I must say that it is AMAZING! I was hooked from the very beginning. It has everything, suspense, murder, romance, paranormal activity! The plot is engaging from the start. It kept me on my toes as it twisted and turned and jumped from scene to scene and back and forth through time. It had me guessing and wondering throughout the book.The way the author brings everything together in the end will definitely leave you wanting more. This is a must read!

This book was great! I love books with a paranormal or psychic aspect. I think it makes the characters more fun. I usually don’t like books where there are too many coincidences but this book was written that way but it was only because it had to be. As each person came together it was because it was foretold. They already had a connection they just didn’t know it until they met. The ending had an awesome twist as well.

Satisfying and engaging!!!

I chose this book because it was described as multi genre and boy is it ever! The paranormal, fantasy, romance, suspense, mystery & thriller all rolled into one book. This was a really engaging and fun read. Many characters to keep track of, but definitely worth the read.
