My Thoughts:
This book caught my attention from the beginning. I enjoyed learning things about France: the festivals, the traboules. I enjoyed Nikki. She was a bit naive and trusting, but under the circumstances it made sense. She trusted her "savior". I liked that she never forgot God, and felt Him close even during trying circumstances. Ruggiero, her hubby, was another favorite. He seemed to have a very patient personality, and didn't get too worked up over much. Probably my favorites were detective Kanaeholo and his wife, and the hotel manager Samy from France. Both of them impressed me very much with their willingness to help out someone they didn't even know, their compassion and the detective's faith.
The book was full of suspense and twists as they tried to find out what happened to Nikki after she disappeared. It was an interesting take on terrorism and very realistic in a sense. It definitely kept me hooked to the end as I cheered for Ruggiero to find Nikki and regain their happily ever after.
I appreciated the uniqueness of this plot. There were just a few things in the book that I felt might not be appropriate for a younger audience, so I would recommend this to mature readers.
I received my copy of this book from the author. I was not asked to review positively. All opinions are my own.
What a wonderful review! Thank you very much! I consider this an early Christmas present!
