A missionary family finds themselves having to make a decision to move to a secluded home for the winter. The wife is uneasy about the move but she is having issues with nightmares and sleep walking so she figures it will be best to agree to the move. Once they get to the home, things start happening that disturb the family. The family has only their faith to lean on and they are beginning to question even their faith.This is a well written Christian thriller/horror. I picked this book up at a Christian bookstore when I visited my family. I had never read a Travis Thrasher book and I am glad I picked up this book. I loved the suspense throughout the book and I did not figure out who the "bad guy" was until the end of the book. Thrasher kept me on my toes throughout the story.What I loved the most about Thrasher's book was that the characters faced real conflicts about their faith. The way he wrote it was so realistic. So many books have conflicts about faith that are hard to relate to but Thrasher wrote a conflict that many Christians can relate to...having faith and questioning God. There were things that the characters said that I could relate to and I have said myself. It doesn't make me (or others like me) a bad Christian...it makes me real and I felt that Thrasher wrote the conflict in such a way that makes you not feel like a bad person for having the same kind of conflict in your life.I also like that Thrasher wrote about some intense things without being too graphic. The reader gets the idea of what the characters are seeing without giving extreme descriptions. I was impressed that I could "feel" the evil in the rooms without the graphic descriptions.This was a well written and intense story. I will definitely look into more Travis Thrasher books. I received this with I won another book on the Goodreads giveaway.I didn't know it was a 'Christian' book; I'd already started and the author knows how to write and gives a good hook right from the beginning so I went with it. Too bad I figured it out in under 30 pages. I had hoped I was wrong and the author gave me a false lead but no, it was as I thought. It wasn't too preachy early on but towards the end the author got his preach on full force and it became annoying. "Yes, I know, you only said 50 times already" was how I felt, bombarded over and over with the same thing. In the future when I book is listed as Christian on someone's shelves, I'll take their word for it and pass it up.
Travis Thrasher doesn't disappoint with this edge of your seat thriller.
