Tandem

When I chose the book TANDEM to review, I did not realize that the story line dealt with paranormal issues. As I got into the book and was caught up in the story line and plot, I was somewhat surprised by the direction that the story took.

The main character, Lauryn McBride, has worked for her father in the auction business for some years. Having lost her mom in a car accident, she is very close to her father who is in the final stages of Alzheimer's . The author does a great job describing the effects of the disease on Lauryn and her dad.

The second main character is Amede Dastillion who is searching for her long lost sister, Eden. Amede is brought together with Lauryn when Lauryn sends her a packet of letters found in the estate of Markus Chisom and addressed to the Dastillion family. Amede travels to the small town in Missouri convinced that her sister is there. The author skillfully weaves together the paranormal with the realities found in this small Missouri town and adds many surprises along the way.

I am not a big fan of the paranormal but this author did such a good job in developing the plot and characters  that I was kept interested in the outcome of the story until the very end.

I would recommend this book especially for those readers who enjoy the paranormal. The fact that this book is written from a Christian perspective adds new aspects to the paranormal content.

This book was provided to me for free from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers for review purposes.
