“Your opening pages set the tone for the entire novel, so make sure you follow through with the promise you’re setting up from the first page. Is the mood light or serious? Romantic or mysterious? Tense, suspenseful? Comedic or literary?” Maureen Lang gives this advice on ACFW’s blog today.
Which was funny, as I read it right before starting this review and the very first thing I was going to say is that this debut novel by Dineen Miller is clear from the first pages that it’s not your usual book. The Soul Saver is a supernatural story of a woman in a mismatched marriage, meaning she is a strong believer in Christ and her husband has lost his faith.
Desperate to love each other and have the strongest marriage possible despite their different beliefs, Lexie and Hugh find common ground in many areas. But Lexie has a special talent, a calling straight from God, and Hugh could never understand it. Or could he?
With a demonic presence out to get Lexie through a most unlikely source, both she and her husband will be stretched beyond what they thought they could bear emotionally, physically, and spiritually. If you are a fan of Frank Peretti, you will love this book!
(BTW, he just released his first new adult release in years and years, Illusion.)
