Review
Faith is a lightworker and she hasn't quite lived up to her potential. She finds out that she has one year to make headway on her life's mission or her journey will end. Not knowing what exactly she is supposed to do, she begins to live her life. Dating and love have not been a great experience for Faith and her willingness to jump into the dating world is sluggish, to say the least. Bridget sets her up on a blind date with Dick, who stands Faith up. Upset at the fact she was stood up, Faith damns him, only to find out that he died sometime before their date. Shocked by the news, Faith feels compelled to solve the mystery surrounding Dick and his death. Will Faith make enough progress to save herself and live up to the expectations of a lightworker?
Shearer has concocted a truly authentic story laden with mystery for a debut. The characters, although fictional, are completely realistic. At any given moment, you could genuinely relate to a thought, feeling, or experience they were having. It was nice to see that Faith remained normal throughout the story, considering the powers she possessed. Her willingness to help the others was refreshing.
Faith's spiritual journey adds to the intensity of Dick's mysterious death and the investigation. There is a perfect blend of humor, life, love, and spirit within the pages of this novel that make you think of your own life and the choices you make. This is the first book in an exciting new series with a plot like no other. I highly recommend you read it.
