Temptation: A
Novel by Travis Thrasher

I choose to read this book first, and then I realized that
it was the third in a series, so I read the others first. Now that I have spent my whole weekend
immersed in this series, it is killing me that I have to wait for the last one
for the resolution to the story. The series is an absorbing read, but they are
definitely set in the mind of a teenage boy with teen angst and
rebelliousness.
The Surprises and
Twists Continue
Chris Buckley and his mother moved to Solitary, North
Carolina after his parents separated over the issue of his father’s faith. After
months of pressure, Chris just shuts down. Forces to attend summer school, he
believes that he is stuck when Lilly walks through the door. Then when she
notices him, his angst turns to joy and he forces all the scary things out of
his mind and focuses solely on Lilly. After his mother tries to commit suicide
while on a drinking binge, Chris believes that he is on his own with total
freedom. Behind the scenes, though, manipulation increases forcing him to open
his eyes.
In this third installment to Thrasher’s Solitary Tales, the
mood lifts a little as Chris finds a new girl, but the level of evil increases.
The surprises continue keeping the reader locked into the series. Still a good
bet for anyone looking at the horror, suspense genre with the added benefit of
a Christian slant and no blatant profanity or sex scenes.
