Austin Boyd and Brannon Hollinsworth

Dear Readers,

There are reviews that are hard to write, there are reviews that are easy to write and then there is this review.  H2O by Austin Boyd and Brannon Hollingsworth is a very interesting book.  It is not an easy afternoon read.  It is a book that I kept reading because I had to know what was going to happen next even though I had a pretty good guess as to where it was going.

The problem with this review is to tell you about the book and its story line might not make sense.  It is not a "normal" story line, which intrigues some people and turns off others.   

Kate Pepper is on top of the world.  She has the job she always wanted, she is dating her boss, and her life is in perfect order. She has left behind her crazy mother who was always seeing visions and her deadbeat dad who never left his chair in front of the TV.  Everything is going her way.

When Kate has her first vision, she is sure she can control them and she does not want to turn into her mother.  This cannot be happening to her, she just won't allow this to happen.  But what can she do?  What is causing them to happen?  She refuses to lose everything because of something so stupid.   

I said earlier in a spot on my blog that reading this book was kind of like watching a train wreck.  I didn't really want to watch Kate's descent, but I couldn't look away either.  I wanted to know what happened to her.  Which is why I found the book so interesting.  The authors do not write Kate as a likable character and yet there is something about her that makes me want to cheer for her and hope she gets her life on track.   

This is one of those reads that kind of sticks with you later and I actually had to mull this book over for a bit before I could write this review.  I think it might be an interesting book to read with a book club or even a Bible study.  

Happy Reading
