Indelible is light versus darkness

This review is from: Indelible: A Novel (Kindle Edition)

Indelible by Kristen Heitzmann was a very interesting book! I had never heard of eidetic memory-terrifying but still such a gift. The book was really a page a turner, plenty of action and tension between characters. It kept me up reading late at night. The author's use of Paradise Lost was very creative and effective. At times is was scary but never gory. There were so many dysfunctional families and damaged adults; might have been overkill on the drama, since Redford was such a small town. I can see many of these characters in their own novel. Piper was the only bright spot in the novel.Trevor's character developed to a mature supportive hero. Jay was interesting and could have given more depth. Neglected and abused children is a real problem in today's world, it was a worthy topic. Once people realize God is the only source of strength in so much despair, they can heal from their early childhood experiences. I really did like the book; it flowed well and integrated all the character. The ending was satisfying. Hopefully the author will write a sequel. Indelible: A Novel. This book was given to me by Multnomah Books for review.

The Scroll gives plenty of suspense

The Scroll by Grant R. Jeffery and Alton L. Gansky
Dr. David Chambers is a nationally known archaeologist and author. He spent most of his life trying to substantiate the truth of the Bible by uncovering artifacts.  After his greatest discovery, Herod tunnel that runs under Jerusalem, he has not been back to the Holy Lands. In fact, after his mother’s death, he has forsaken his biblical research. And he has given up on just about everyone, especially God. His friend and mentor, Abram Ben–Judah calls to try to pull him out of his depression. Abram is putting together a team for a once in a lifetime chance to search for the treasure listed in the Copper Scroll.  Stir in the mix is ex-fiancée, Amber, and you have a book filled with history, romance, danger, mystery, and murder.
Once I started this book, it was hard to put it down. The suspense of discovery ancient items, the danger in the underground tunnels, and the rich cast of characters made this a worthy read. Lots of factual history from the Bible is included in the novel. It is written in the future decade and the technology is astounding. You never know which technology is real or fabricated, but it is true to life and very realistic.  This copy was given to be by WaterBrook Press for review.
