My Review

This is an action packed novel for high school age readers. There is lots of suspense, some of it caused by decisions made by the young heroines. Jess and her friends are a brave group and go after bad guys without enough backup and get in trouble themselves. But it is the commitment to deep friendship that causes the girls to be willing to brave danger. I was impressed with the faith message contained in this book. Just when the situation seemed impossible to survive, and there were a number of them, the girls would be reminded, “But God.” What a great faith message.

The narrative is written in alternating first person. While the person is identified at the beginning of the chapter, a few pages in I became unsure as to whose viewpoint it was. The narrative is also present tense. Those are two aspects of Migit's writing style that are not my favorites. I also have a pet peeve of starting a chapter with a dream and not identifying it as such. Migit did that too in this novel.

Even though there were a few aspects of the narrative style I did not like, Migit's plot development is engaging. I blew through this book, the plot and action drawing me in. The ending left me wanting more so I will be watching for the next in the series. Even though there were references to events in the earlier books, I felt this one read quite well on its own. This is certainly a good novel for high school age readers.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

 

About the Author

Award-winning author and speaker Debbi Migit lives in central Illinois, surrounded by pumpkin patches and cornfields. Her first book, Child of Promise, is the true love story of a family formed through adoption. After ten years of infertility, Debbi and her husband Phil were just months from adopting when God said, “Not this way.” Child of Promise is the story of audacious faith resulting in multiple miracles. It encourages readers to remember their own promises and believe again.

Debbi has won multiple awards and contests, writing stories that are filled with faith and hope. She loves to share personal anecdotes about God’s faithfulness, infusing her talks with authenticity and humor. Debbi and Phil are the adoptive parents of Alex, Ethan, and Kate. The God-ordained spacing of their children offered the unique opportunity to parent a teen and two toddlers–at the same time. This is the season Debbi fondly calls the TNT years!

Debbi’s hobbies include reading, writing, and avoiding arithmetic. Her favorite color is turquoise, and she collects Trixie Belden books and typewriters. If playing Candy Crush was a paying gig, she would be rich.

Debbi’s Justice, Montana series begins with September Shadows, released in February, 2021. After the mysterious death of their parents, Jess Thomas and her sisters are determined to stay together and make a new life for themselves, which includes faith-testing danger, adventure, and romance.

October Outlaw was released in the fall of 2021, followed by November Knight in November 2023.

The series will conclude with December Dreams, and January Justice in 2025
