The Canary List
By Sigmund Brouwer
Lately I've been more open to reading books from the Christian fiction genre. This particular book had an interesting name and an artsy book cover. While I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, sometimes I do! And it was a decently good choice this time around.
The book is about a young girl with a special ability to sense evil, specifically demons in those around her. While running from someone who wishes to do her harm, she inadvertantly drags her unsuspecting school teacher into a conspiracy of epic proportions. The teacher's life spirals out of control as he does his best to not only clear his name but save his student from trouble.
Brouwer tells a compelling story that held my interest almost to the end. In general, I find a lot of suspence novels wrapping the story up too quickly without as much detail as I'd like to read. I found this to be true of The Canary List. I did find the exploration into the spiritual realm and the world of demons and angels to be fascinating even if not completely believable. All in all, I enjoyed this read and would probably categorize it into a good "summer beach read".
