A freak storm has spawned three tornadoes that are bearing down on the town of Summerville.
Yet under the cover of the storm looms a much more ominous threat: A vindictive killer known as Red who's left a string of victims in his wake and is now bent on exacting his final revenge on the unsuspecting town.
But there is an enigma surrounding Red that the FBI is unwilling to admit-closely guarded secrets of something gone terribly wrong beneath the skin of Summerville. Secrets that will destroy far more than one small town.
Wendy Davidson is caught in the middle. She's a recovering cult survivor who takes refuge in Summerville on her way to visit her estranged mother. And with her, four strangers, any of whom could be the next victim . . . or the killer.

My Review:
Ted Dekker is usually one of my favorite authors. However, this book really left me feeling blah. The first third of the book I was really into it and couldn't put it down. The rest not so much. As I had received the book in exchange for a review I had about 30 or 40 pages left with it expiring on the 13th of the month. In the early morning hours of the 13th, figuring I could finish the book I discovered it was no longer accessible. Usually being so far into the book, I couldn't let it go not knowing the ending. For this book, I didn't find that--I have no desire to buy it. The plot just really fell flat for me and while I usually love Dekker's books for making me think and stretching my spiritual life, I didn't find that to be the case in this book.
Thank you to FaithWords/Center Street for a copy of this book--the opinions and thoughts are my own.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
