I LOVED this book, even as it bothered, me and reminded me why we have to be so very careful about what we expose online. I picked it up one night and finished it the next. The writing is powerful -- one of Terri's best -- as she explores the dangers and pitfalls of online communities, all the while weaving a suspense that has the perfect thread of romance. The characters' emotions were real and deep. I could easily imagine feeling the same despair, doubt and grief that Krista and her father experienced -- though they dealt with it in different, yet similar ways. This book will pull you through the pages. And even though I guessed who the villain was about halfway through the book, it didn't slow down my reading as I waited to confirm whether I was correct. If you like suspense with a romantic thread, this is a great book for your summer reading list.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Ryan Adkins started the social network GrapeVyne in his college dorm and has grown it into a billion-dollar corporation. But he never expected it to become a stalking ground for online Predators. One of them lives in his town and has killed two girls and attacked a third. When Ryan meets Krista, the murders become more than a news story to him, and everything is on the line.
Joining forces, he and Krista set out to stop the killer. But when hunters pursue a hunter, the tables can easily turn. Only God can protect them now.
