review 1: Very disappointing. I'm not sure where the author's head is, but I know I don't want to be there. I could not finish, despite what was actually technically good writing. When I started reading the depressing beginning to the story, I held on because I thought there would be some Christian elements of redemption (given the scripture). But I guess the author thinks it's ok to prostitute yourself to save your company (main male character, graphically depicted), hide from the law (both main characters), steal intellectual property (main female character), use very foul language, and do little or nothing to repent or change your ways. Completely unlikeable characters. Skipped to the end to try to resolve something in my own mind. Do not recommend, and I won't be reading an... moreything else by this author, including the Old Testament novel, Michal's Window, which I already had downloaded.
review 2: I really wanted to like this book and I am disappointed that I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Right off the bat in the book there is talk of a gangbanger, which threw me off entirely. Then the term was used again when said gangbanger passed on. I really do not think Rachelle, the author, understands the term. Just because a person has tattoos, is hard, rough and was discharged from the military due to psychiatric issues does not make them a gangbanger. This really drives me crazy, although, I did look past it.All of the technology talk was very confusing. While I am someone who understands computers, technology in general and can figure out just about anything, all of the technology talk was just a bit too much. I really think the book would have been slightly better if it was not in it.When I first started reading the book, I had no clue it was going to turn religious. I do not read religious books at all, so I was rather blindsided when it suddenly became that. This is definitely not the typical religious book. Quite frankly, I think the religious aspect takes away from the book. Every single bad thing that could happen happens to Jen, the main character. Somehow, she still manages to save the day with her tablet and fix the build.With someone that is running from a bad past, I feel like she should be more concerned as to where her personal items are – phone, iPad, etc.What I will say is that the author was a decent writer. And I would recommend this book to those that do not mind reading religious or technology lingo.I received this book from the author through tomoson for my honest review. less

Good read. Suspenseful. A little preachy at times, but I really enjoyed reading it.
