David Galloway runs
a book store in Northern Michigan. He keeps to himself only
interacting closely with the people, like Tiana, who work in his
shop. David has a secret that keeps him apart from others. He’s
over hundred years old and unable to die although he must rejuvenate.
David thinks he’s
alone with this phenomenon, but when he reads about Zachary Wilson, a
daredevil who survives a fall that should have killed him, he begins
to wonder. He finds Zachary and learns that there are other like him.
Suddenly, he has a community, but he’s not sure how to react to the
closeness. This becomes a problem when the group is forced to band
together to solve some ancient crimes.
I enjoyed the book.
It starts slowly with David in Michigan, but after he meets up with
Zac the tempo speeds up. Although there is action, much of the book
is character development. This is particularly true of David trying
to come to grips with his attraction to Tiana.
This is a Christian
fantasy. The characters in the books are believers and in the course
of the story they must grapple with what God wants them to do. The
choice is not always easy
.
The book is well
written. The cadence pulls you along making this an enjoyable read.
If you like serious fantasy, this is a well done book.
I received this book
from Barbour Publishing for this review.
