Devil’s Dance, by Arliss Adams, is an emotive read. The story tells of Jen Conner, a promising young dancer, who experiences crushing blows that take away her dreams, her innocence and almost her life. She learns of heartbreak, betrayal, violence and fear; yet she battles it all on a quest to discover the rewards of perseverance and second chances.
Although Jen encounters much pain in her life, she doesn’t drown in an ocean of self-pity. Sometimes she barely treads the water, sometimes she becomes submerged in painful and bewildering memories; yet she emerges from it all to show the world, and herself, that the power of good is stronger than evil.
I couldn’t put this book down. It is a fast-paced page-turner that isn’t for the faint of heart. There is violent imagery, excruciating pain, and agonizing nightmares that will surely stay with you after you finish reading, but it also leaves you with a poignant message that ‘what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger’.
I'm off to read "The Devil's Due"(book 2).
Wow! That sound like a really awesome read!
ReplyDeleteDo you still have my email? If so would you be able to drop me a line? My hotmail got hacked and I think my MSN is messed up and Nano closed their messaging service! It's just to ask you and the other girlies a question about our project? Lol.
