Where to start.
This book grabbed me from the first chapter. every chapter left you hanging (sign of a good author!) and brought a new question or a new mystery. although not all of the questions were answered in the first book of this exciting new trilogy, most of them were--but they were all answered in amazing, unforgettable, unexpected ways. drop your classic ideas about "demonic" novels--this book belongs on any fiction-loving adventurous reader's bookshelf!

Fifth book in the Cal Leandros series, and Rob Thurman appears to have learnt her lesson from the disappointing "Deathwish".

Again, the narrative is told in the first person but (thankfully) this time, Rob Thurman does not take it chapter about to have different characters speaking. Whereas "Deathwish" had it brother about per chapter (who 'sounded' far too alike), "Roadkill" only has Cal Leandros narrating, with his sections 'book-ended' by a chapter told by a completely different character, complete with their own distinctive voice.

This is a return to form!

Each chapter is from one of the 3 main characters POV. (1 more)
Has a nice flow to each chapter.
Fantastic Book
What an amazing book. Each chapter is written from one of the 3 main characters point of view so it really allows you to see into the mind set of each of them and how they perceive the events happening around them.
The chapters are quite consice making it all too easy to say "just one more" right the way through to the end.
It was nothing like I expected but so much more. Its quite dark and has a sinister feel throughout the book even ending with an "oh my god, what the f*ck" feeling.
I would highly recommend giving this book a read.

This is a short book with only 10 chapters and each chapter reads like a devotional. The chapters each begin with an "Encouraging Word," an "Everyday Step" and "A Mom's Thoughts," and ends with "Mom's Quiet Corner," which contains a summary of the chapter in the form of a "Busy Mom's Tip," "A Mom's Special Scripture," "Mom to Mom," and a "Prayer for the Journey." Peppered throughout each chapter are related verses and useful advice from the author and other anonymous mothers. Each chapter also encourages journaling with appropriate questions, plus the book ends with a Discussion Guide that is meant to be used in a group setting among other moms.
I enjoyed reading this book slowly, savoring the words and advice from so many other moms. With three daughters of my own, all under the age of five, I can use all of the tips on less hurry and worry I can get. I may even pass this book on to other moms who need the same kind of encouragement that I got from reading this lovely book.
