Nine by Rachelle Dekker



Synopsis:

Zoe Johnson spent most of her life living in the shadows, never drawing attention to herself, never investing in people or places. But when a wide-eyed, bedraggled teenager with no memory walks into the diner where Zoe works, everything changes. Now, against her better judgment, Zoe, who has been trying to outrun her own painful memories of the past, finds herself attempting to help a girl who doesn't seem to have any past at all. The girl knows only one thing: she must reach a woman in Corpus Christi, Texas, hundreds of miles away, before the government agents who are searching for her catch up to them.

Award-winning author Rachelle Dekker throws you into the middle of the action and keeps the pressure on in this page-turning story that, asks Are we who the world says we are--or can we change our story and be something more?


My Thoughts:

Action packed!  A must read!  Sometimes I hesitate on reading some Christian fiction because its just too fluffy! I need a dose of reality.  I mean sure, God performs miracles all the time, but sometimes it really has to hurt before we feel the joy. Also, there’s violence in the world. When a book bypasses that reality it just feels so fake to me and I lose interest.  Not with Rachelle’s books though. She is her own person and earned her following. This book, like Rachelle’s others definitely held my attention from beginning to end. I’d love to see more of this world in the future. Dekker is phenomenal at writing a series.
