Synopsis: Sparrow Thibault is drawn inexorably to the waters of the deep, flowing Arizona Canal during a summer thunderstorm. There, she is struck by a bolt of lightning, and when she awakens, she hears a disembodied voice telling her something she cannot believe--something astonishing and wonderful.

The revelation sends her on a dangerous journey to escape those who believe in the voice’s prophecy: a darker, stranger force, desperate to stop her from the realization of her destiny. Accompanying her is a renegade priest, Father Patrick Kilian, who struggles against his own dark forces.

For the most part I really enjoyed this book. I felt the characters were really well done and I felt the plot was well developed. The writing was superb and I felt the whole story flowed really well. I loved how the book showed the development of each characters and how realistic it felt to me.

However, I missed the lack of action in this book. I felt that if there were more action scenes or more suspense in the book that it would have gripped me more. I just felt that there were moments were I felt the action scenes came out of nowhere and it left me confused and disjointed as a reader.

Verdict: A book with a great message and great characters. If you liked The Da Vinci Code, you’re like this!
