Following an imprisonment, he returned to his hometown of Arrowhead, and tries to start a new life. He didn’t have many friends; his best friend and girlfriend Virginia, her brother Bryan, and another ex-gangster, Jackson, are about it. Besides his next door neighbor, Mrs. Jenson, and Virgina’s cousin Joy, no one really cared anything about Shawn.Except, the gang he left behind.He had hoped they would just forget him, but their motto, “Blood in, blood out,” was more than just a saying. It was reality. A reality that got slammed into his face just when he least wanted it.Thirsting for revenge, as well as to appease their boss’s personal vendetta, the gang known as The Shadows, chase after Shawn, trying to break him to their will. When he won’t yield, the boss decides to go after the few people that Shawn loves.The Writing Style:Miss Rising is very good at building her ‘world’ for the reader. Arrowhead and the surrounding area is very easy to picture. She also manages to describe it without long and detailed descriptions, instead allowing it to flow naturally into the narrative.She also describes emotions and pain very well. The reader’s heart wrenches when one character finally breaks down sobbing or holds their breath as another slowly loses consciousness. Pain or sorrow feels very real.On the other hand, certain aspects of the book felt like they could use some more research or realism. Things like recovery time after injury or how the police operate. Some areas of the book felt very unrealistic.The Characters:I liked Miss Rising’s characters. I liked their connection to each other. Even so, I didn’t like some of their behavior. Another area that felt very unrealistic is the danger these characters would put themselves into. Danger that could have been easily avoided, if, for instance, Virginia has listened to Shawn a little more often. Yes, they usually managed to survive the danger – sometimes just barely – but it felt so needless, all too often. More on that in a minute.The dialog felt stilted at times, but I liked the way they communicated. Miss Rising did letting the character’s relationships shine through the dialog. Not something that everyone is good at. I did like the strength of Bryan and Virginia’s sibling relationship, as well.A Few More Thoughts:There are a couple of things that bothered me, but don’t read if you don’t want some spoilers. Nothing from the conclusion, just a few aspects of the book.I know the author’s intent with showing the escape of the main characters from so much danger was likely to show how miraculous the protection of the LORD can be. I get that. However, the LORD is not an insurance policy to allow us to run our heads stupidly into danger. He doesn’t usually work like that. I appreciate what Miss Rising was trying to communicate, but I can’t help but think it needed to be shown in a different way. God does often show mercy and gives us protection, but it doesn’t usually look like a young woman going into Gang City Central, on foot, alone, and unprotected by human standards, with a pending death threat on her head from the main gang living there, justifying her actions by saying that the LORD will take care of her.The way Virginia broke off her relationship with Shawn also bothered me. She knew better than to enter into a romantic relationship with an unbeliever. She knew better beforehand and those close to her made sure to warn her about it, but she justified and defended herself. While this was shown to be wrong – and I applaud the author for that – Virginia kicked Shawn out of her house the first time he openly questioned and showed his disapproval of the LORD’s doings. Do I think Shawn was in the right? No. But I don’t think Virginia was in the right either. Besides, she hurt Shawn deeply by agreeing to date him in the first place – and this was never really acknowledged.Cautions:There was some violence and several deaths in this book, besides some rather intense situations, but being as it is a Thriller, that is probably to be expected. I wouldn’t give it to young children, but the book never goes into anything truly gory or overly descriptive. Even the deaths are handled with care.Conclusion:I did enjoy seeing Miss Rising’s characters again, Where Shadows Lie, after having read her first book, Holding the Future Hostage, a few years back. I would probably recommend this book for ages fourteen and up.

Full of surprises By Faith Blum Recommended ages: 13 & up for gang violenceIntroduction:This was the first Christian book in this genre I have ever read. I was pleasantly surprised at the obvious research bigstock-Urban-Alley-At-Night-30383132and hard work the author did to write this book.Characters: .75/1The characters were usually easy to relate to. I liked Bryan the best, even though he was a minor character. Virginia and Shawn were good, too, but Bryan just struck a cord with me. Maybe because we're both the oldest. There were a few times when the characters seemed a little forced or two-dimensional, but that didn't happen often. The good characters all had flaws and the bad characters had some good aspects, especially the villain.Dialogue: 1/1Tialla did a very good job with the dialogue. Each character had a unique voice and always said things realistically.Plot/storyline: 1/1Let's just say, I'm glad I don't live in a city like the one Shawn lived in. And I wouldn't want to be Virginia or Shawn. But, the plot and storyline was very well done and intriguing. Even to someone who usually reads historical fiction. :)bigstock-Burglar-Hand-Holding-Crowbar-B-25233641quoteOver-all writing quality: .75/1There were a few typos that diminished the reading, but nothing awful. Other than that, the writing was very good.Un-put-down-ability: .75/1There were a few times when the story dragged a little and other times I didn't want to put the book down, but had to.Overall: 4.25/5If you like stories about redemption, mystery, and don't mind some violence, this book is for you. The violence isn't awful and certainly isn't graphic, but it is still there for the imagination to pick up on if you allow it to.I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.
