    This review was written for Shadow in Serenity.
    This book had my hooked from page one, so much that I actually read the whole book in one day. I just had to know how it was going to end and I did not want to wait, so I didn't. I would highly recommend this book to everyone it is that good. It is listed as a suspense book but I wouldn't call it that at all, more of a drama and romance. Actually it is similar to the Music Man musical and it made me want to re watch it at some point.

    Logan Brisco has arrived in Serenity, Texas and is a handsome, charming man who is trying to find investors to build a theme park nearby. He comes from shady past, but it won't be easy for others to find out about it since he had used several other names and identities but now he is using his own.

    Carny Sullivan has been a resident in Serenity for the last nine years after being raised in a traveling carnival with her parents who like to con who ever they can. Since being raised by con artisit's she feels confident that Logan is trying to con the innocent people of Serenity.

    As the story progresses she starts liking him more and more, and finds herself confused if he is a con or not. Logan also starts to change as he falls in love with the town and Carny, and does not want to devastate the town. Will she be able to stop Logan's biggest con every or will her heart get in the way? Will Logan find a way out of the con or will he leave and ruin the town?

    I received this book from Zondervan in exchange for my honest review.

    This review was written for Shadow in Serenity.
    i enjoyed this book from start to finish on a subject that I'd never read about before. i agree with the other reviews that this is definitely not one of Terri's best books but was still a great read. Be sure to read the acknowledgment at the front of the book. it's a wonderful thing for an author to make the change from writing worldly books to writing to the glory of God!

    This review was written for Shadow in Serenity.
    Con man Logan Brisco breezes into Serenity, Texas, with the aim of relieving it's good citizens of their cash. Carny Sullivan is a widowed single mom who grew up surrounded by con artists, and who is not about to let her friends get ripped off by Logan, despite his good looks and endless charm. Carny makes no secret of her desire to bring Logan down a peg or two, and her challenge both amuses and intrigues him, setting the scene for some colourful goings-on.

    But trying to persuade a town full of honest people that Logan is running a con might be more than Carny can manage. Meanwhile, Logan is excited by the challenge Carny presents, and stays in town even though it is against the 'rules' of a good con. However, as Logan spends longer in Serenity, he develops relationships with more of the people, and his perceptions gradually begin to change. Meanwhile, Carny knows from her own life that God can change anyone, even a con artist, and begins to doubt her initial impressions of Logan.

    Basically, this was a hoot. The scenes between Carny and Logan were consistently underpinned by an amusing combination of mistrust and attraction, the story was fun, and the book had the desired ending without in any way appearing predictable. I really enjoyed this as a fun read underpinned by a sound Christian message.

    Terri Blackstock was published in the general market before she became a Christian, and this book was previously published with another title and under a pseudonym. Terri has now revised and updated it for the Christian market. The new and revised passages are well integrated into the overall story, and there is no sign that you are actually reading an updated book.

    Thanks to Zondervan and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
