Never Let You Go by Erin Healy

Erin Healy's book Never Let You Go was excellent, and very reminiscent of Frank Peretti's fiction. Milder, though. While Peretti would keep me from falling to sleep at night, Healy's book was frightening in places, but not unbearably so. Demons and angels are a recipe for a good read, but only when evil loses, and this book was no exception.

I like to read books that give good and evil actual human bodies. To visualize the unseen world is appealing, and Healy depicts that well. In this story, the main character, Lexi, is haunted by situations from her past that stole her husband from her, and paved the way for her sister's death. Lexi ends up being tormented by a couple of men (a term I use loosely), and any normal person would crack under the pressure. Fortunately in my experience, life is never quite as suspenseful as fiction writers would have us believe.

Bravo, Ms. Healy. More please.
