I rarely enjoy Christian fiction, but Rene Gutteridge is amazing at it. I also rarely enjoy romances, but Miss Gutteridge is amazing at that too. I love the characters, love the plot, and love the ending. ( )

Cute book. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. Very quirky characters! ( )

Renowned horror novelist Wolfe “Boo” Boone really horrifies his hometown of Skary, Indiana – which has created a haunted tourist trap industry around him – when he decides to quit writing and pursue the girl next door.

Plot Summary: What happens, When & Where, Central Characters, Major Conflicts
In the town of Skary Indiana, a man awakens to a sudden realization. Horror writer Wolfe Boone (nicknamed "Boo" by the town) walks into a church and asks how he can be saved. His sudden conversion rocks the small town, which has built up a tourist industry around his best selling novels. The mayor, an older woman who you might call your typical busybody, is particularly horrified and soon launches a plot to change Wolfe's mind--and save Skary. Meanwhile, Ainsley Parker, the only daughter of the police chief, is (unexpectedly) enjoying getting to know the new Boone. She couldn't stand him before, but once she give him a chance she is quite surprised at the way she feels about him. Her father and wanna-be boyfriend are not so sure though.






Style Characterisics: Pacing, clarity, structure, narrative devices, etc.
Gutteridge creates a good setup for plenty of mischeif and mayhem. Wolfe's character is more fleshed out than the others, as he ponders the implications of his change of heart and the funny way that these so called Christian people react to it. And the character of the pastor is a winner, his attempt to teach his flock about serving others one Sunday is a memorable scene. What would you do if you showed up at church and the doors were closed with just a note saying "Today I want you to go do what I've been teaching you to do"?






How Good is it?
Light hearted, and while a bit shallow a fun read with a bit of a lesson. ( )
