MY THOUGHTS:



If you'e ever read a Mike Dellosso book before, you know not to read it alone in the dark! This is a great one to read in a crowded, well lit room. But make sure you have plenty of time because you won't be able to put it down. Each chapter ends in a way that just requires you to keep reading. The story line is fabulous and the characters are so real you'll find yourself praying for them.




I love how Dellosso twists the Civil War and current day events together, contrasting darkness and evil with love and light. The character of Eva, the daughter of the main character Sam, is my favorite. She has so much love and will do anything to try to show her father that God truly cares for him.




This is a real thriller -- hang on until the very last page.

ABOUT THE BOOK


Sam Travis lives in a Civil War era farmhouse in Gettysburg, PA, where he awakens one morning to find an old journal with an entry by a Union soldier, Lt. Whiting…written in Sam’s own handwriting. When this happens several more times, both at night and during waking “trances,” Sam begins to question his own sanity while becoming obsessed with Lt. Whiting and his bone-chilling journal entries. As the entries begin to mimic Sam’s own life, he is drawn into an evil plot that could cost many lives, including his own.

Can the unconditional love of Sam's daughter, Eva, break through his hardened heart before a killer on the loose catches up with them and Sam’s past spurs him to do the unthinkable?
