Great Suspense

As an avid reader of mystery and suspense, I am extremely pleased when I find a new author who can tell a great story. In Obsession Wanda Dyson continues the story of her two main characters, JJ and Zoe. Sparks fly between these two whenever they get together-JJ wants to protect Zoe and Zoe wants to be free to work independently. Dyson does a great job of weaving in the Christian elements and message by using her characters' struggles and doubts. And the suspense is great-Dyson masterfully weaves in her red herrings, keeping the reader wondering who the true villain is until the very end. I had trouble putting this book down until I was through.

Great Book!

Loved the twists and turns that kept me guessing right to the end. The relationship between JJ and Zoe keeps things from getting too dark with the way they are so mature and intelligent with everyone--except each other. Pushing each other's buttons sends them into feeding frenzy of adolescent behavior that amuses. Bought this after reading ChristbookReview said it was a shining example of what Christian fiction is becoming with all the pace and terror of the best secular police thrillers.. they were right on target. Can't wait for the sequel.

Obsession-suspense, fast moving, good clean reading

As an avid reader of all types of novels, I find this sequel to Abduction fast moving and exciting. I like the manner in which the author, Wanda Dyson presents her story line and her characters. The dialogue between Zoe and JJ is delivered in a clean format. By clean, I refer to the language used. As a Christian I expect our choice of words in our home to be respectful and void of guttural slang. As a father, I encourage my daughter to read books such as Obsession and her being away at college, made me think of the real dangers out there. Wanda had me pondering whom might be the killer right to the end, where I thoroughly enjoyed the interrogation room scene. The references to Scripture's were relevant and well placed. Zoe had transitioned from psychic to a believer in the Word and Dyson made that transition logical. God loves to talk to us; we often can't discern at first whether it's Him or instincts. I recommend this book and I look forward to a sequel to compete a Zoe trilogy.

Awesome!!!!

Obsession so totally ROCKS!!! It's the type of book you stay up all night to finish. Wanda L. Dyson puts a lot of red herrings in her book to keep you guessing. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

Turn on all the lights

In this fast-paced sequel to Abduction, Wanda Dyson takes all her talent for suspense and goes a step further. She handles Zoe Shefford's struggle to find her purpose as a Christian with skill and wisdom, all while delivering a story that grabs readers by the throat. Dyson refuses to let you discover the true killer until she jolly well decides it's time...by which point in the book, if you're like me, you'll be creeping around your house turning on the lights.
