Erica Sparks has
just taken a job with a new cable news station, GNN, Global News
Network. She's thrilled to be in New York and hungry for success. Her
first assignment, to interview the Duchess of Cambridge, turns into
an unexpected news break when a ferry crashes into the seawall very
close to where the duchess is scheduled to have lunch.
The news story
catapults Erica into one of the top reporters at GNN and opens her to
the jealousy of rival reporters. It also brings her to the notice of
the billionaire owner of the network. The immediate fame has payoffs,
but as Erica and her colleagues pursue the story about the ferry
accident, it leads them into danger.
This is a very fast
paced read with action based on current events. If you like a
thriller that moves quickly from crisis to crisis, this is a good
one. However, the writing is merely okay and the character
development is minimal. We learn a great deal about Erica, her past
and her drive to succeed. However, the other characters have almost
no background information and act as foils for Erica.
Although this book
is sold by a Christian publisher, it's not typically Christian
fiction. Erica doesn't rely on God or pray, except for the Serenity
Prayer. None of the other characters appear to have any religious
conviction. If you read secular thrillers, this isn't a problem, but
if you're looking for a typical Christian novel, this may disappoint.
I received this book
from BookLook Bloggers for this review.
