Shadow of Fear

The plot had many twists and keeps the reader on her toes. The main character is the only one with depth. The ending was a little lacking.

I thouroghly enjoyed this book. It had a wonderful plot and a good storyline. I was a bit dissapointed with the ending but it was so exciting during the middle of the story. I couldn't put it down for a while and finished it in a day.

Challys finds herself practically alone in the world, with no money and a five-year-old brother to take care of . She embarks on a perilous journey to find long-lost relatives, trying to stay hidden from her evil stepfather at the same time. Mysterious incidents occur during the journey which keep her away for months, and when she does at last reach them, her dreams of protection are shattered. In the years of her absence, her relatives' health and financial status have diminished, and now Challys must be the protector. She finds work, but it brings her face to face with events in her past that she would rather keep secret. A mysterious stranger from her past, a threat of blackmail, and a newfound love interest keep Challys living under her ever-present Shadow of Fear. Only relying on the Lord can help her.

Shadow of Fear was a very nice little mystery story. Appropriate for adults and teens.
