RATING = NO STARSDNF - DID NOT FINISHI wanted to read this so badly! However, a sub character (more like a main character) that I adore doesn't fair too well at all and I just abhor when the good guys don't finish last. Selfless, beautiful people who known nothing but tragedy in their life, deserve a HEA, at least in the fiction world anyway.So, nope, not gonna do it. I struggle enough with illness everyday in my own, very real life. I'm sure not gonna try to entertain myself by reading stories
This is not a new book for me, nor is the author new to me. This one has been on my 'keeper' shelves for some time. I finally got some reading glasses yesterday ... since the paperback print seems to keep getting smaller the older I get. I wanted to try them out and grabbed this book to re-read.This is not a sweet romance story, although romance does play a part, but the story itself is Jade. Jade was taken by her mother to a cult. As you can imagine what a young child's life is under these circ...
This was my first book read by this author and it was good for the most part. Quite a bit of faith in God thrown in....not completely preachy but more than I care for. After awhile it kind of felt like product placement....think I'm going to H.E double hockey sticks for comparing God to Chex Mix? Anyway, the last 100 pages seemed to drag and I thought as traumatized as Jade was, I felt that her couple months of therapy that turned her into a woman emotionally available for a full on relationship...
My second reading of this book. I liked it although it is uncomfortable in spots. The heroine has the most horrific childhood of any heroine I've EVER read. Solving the mystery part was interesting how they went about it. I appreciated the choice the author made to have the authorities actually carry out the arrests etc., instead of the hero/heroine involved in every little bit of it. It seemed more realistic that way. Although, they had a definite hand in it and the hero did involve himself in
This is the second book by Sharon Sala that I've read and she hit the ball right out of the park with this one, I LOVED this book! It's good thing that I read it over the weekend because I couldn't put it down and I didn't get much sleep. =)Jade (h) at the age of 4 her mother has a chance meeting with a cult leader named Soloman and The People of Joy. One day she decides that she needs to join them and leave her husband Sam , she can't however leave Jade. So one night she wrapes a sleeping Jade
good book but will make you mad but has a happy ending
Sharon Sala has become one of my most favorite authors. King’s Ransom truly blew me away, Chosen hooked me, and now Out Of The Dark sealed the deal. I’m a fan forever!!! This was one Amazing book of courage, danger, and the evil lurking in our world. Ms Sala truly cast a spell on me with her storyline and exceptional writing.
When Jade was four, her mother joined a cult and took her with her. Her mother died when she was six and for the next six years, she was pimped to child-molesters by the cult leader, Solomon, until her friend Raphael, a boy three years older than her who was also being abused in the commune, took her away. After that, they lived on the streets mostly, Raphael contracting AIDS during this time. Jade is a talented artist and manages to keep them fed by selling her paintings, but when a painting sh...
I love this bookI have read this book several times. It's just as good as the first time I read it. I love the characters and I love the story, how anyone can do a child like they did in this book needs their private cut off.
