"Shattered by Death" by Catherine Finger is a book that literally kept me guessing who the bad guy was and then when it was revealed, it was hard to believe.

This is the second book of the series, but it is an enjoyable read. In fact, I have read the entire series out of order and it wasn't hard to follow alone as the plot are all different.

I like the faith element in this story. I love this quote "All I ask is that you bring your fears into the light. Remember, God is not a God of fear.But of peace and of power. Do you hear me? Our God is a God of love. And perfect love casts out fear. That's what I want for us...."

This book does deal with death and violence, but I still recommend this series because sometimes we have to be reminder that real life isn't all roses and sunshine. Don't get me wrong I don't want a lot of violence in the books that I read but sometimes you have to face reality.

I receive a contemporary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

More from Catherine.

“If you could kill someone and get away with it, what would you do? How would you do it?”
Having posed this question over dessert during a really good first date several years ago—to my surprise and delight my date proceeded to share a story about an international cosmetic gone badly awry. I was so taken with this story, that I couldn’t wait to get home and start writing. And I did. That night I sat down to write a scene between two powerful women, intending one to toy with the other by playing with a jar of deadly moisturizer as they interacted.
As I wrote that night, an unexpected scene involving spiritual warfare popped into my head and onto the screen. The edgy, scary, lock-your-doors-before reading story I called Shattered by Death was born.
While the moisturizer scene didn’t ultimately stay in the book, the idea of powerful women pitted against each other did. I strive to create antagonists that are as strong—or stronger—than Jo Oliver. When I feel the tension of wondering whether or not Josie is going to make it out alive—that’s when I know I’m in the middle of a great story.
I hope you think so too.
Enjoy the read!
