WOW...just...WOW! I don't even know where to start!
This was my first taste of Lynette Eason's spell-binding suspense, but it most definitely will NOT be my last! Too Close to Home grabbed me from page one, and didn't let go 'til the very end. I devoured it in less than 6 hours -- with a few annoying interruptions. ;)
Even though there were times I wasn't sure I could go on, I just could NOT put this book down! Those of you who know me well will understand what I mean by not being able to go on. I'm not a fan of in-depth descriptions of murderous crimes -- or anything involving blood, gore, intense cruelty, etc. -- but, I seem to be drawn to them regardless. I'm SO glad I took the time to read Too Close to Home, and I am SO excited that I get to read book #2, Don't Look Back, over the weekend. HOORAY!!!
I always try my hardest to unravel the mystery as quickly as possible, but usually end up being completely bowled-over in the last few pages. However, I'm happy to say, I actually figured this one out in just a few chapters. I'm not sure what gave it away, but something just clicked and I knew who "The Agent" was, as well as, the reasons behind his horrendous actions. It cast a completely different aspect on the story -- because I could see it from both sides -- which was an intriguing change of pace.
The story revolves around teenage girls being propositioned by an online predator, who they believe to be a modeling agent. He chats with them until they get comfortable enough to send their picture to him, and eventually agree to meet him in person. In this day and age, with technology so easily accessible by kids and teens -- this is a scary reality check for any parent.
I wasn't sure how God would be incorporated into this gripping story, but Ms. Eason made everything flow so perfectly that I was amazed with how naturally He fit into every situation. It just goes to show that God really is there for us, no matter what struggles or hardships we may face on a day-to-day basis.
