Book Review - "Fatal Tide" by Lis Wiehl

Fatal Tide by Lis Wiehl is the third book in the East Salem trilogy.  It starts out very fast paced, and I couldn't put the book down!  It picks up right where book two left off.  Reese, a 17 year old boy, is in the car with 2 men, trying to get him to safety, when their car is attacked by demons.  Reese is the only survivor.

Tommy and Dani are trying to figure out the mystery, and who/what is the dead body in Tommy's pond, and who killed him?  And will they be able to stop the plot to contaminate the world's water supplies?  And what really is going on at St. Adrian's Academy?

This story has a lot of mystery and intrigue, and yet, a bit of a love story, as you are anxiously waiting to see if Tommy will ever get a chance to ask Dani to marry him.  You bite your nails, as Quinn and Cassandra go undercover, to try to help Tommy and Dani solve the mysteries.

I have mixed feelings about this book.  Yes, I love the mystery and intrigue.  But, some things were just too hard for me to grasp--as in being able to shoot and kill demons, and that demons would show up blue, on an infra red scope.  I loved the old Frank Peretti's books, as they would really open your eyes to see that we need to pray--and that when the saints began to pray, the angels would be strengthened, and be able to defeat the demons.  In this book--they don't pray to defeat the demons, but shoot them with guns, in a real battle, and not supernaturally.  What does Corinthians say about our weapons?  They aren't carnal (or physical).  I also didn't like the "twinspeak" in the book--where twins can see and speak to each other, even thousands of miles apart.

I received a complimentary copy of the book,  Fatal Tide, from BookSneeze and Thomas Nelson, for my honest review.
