Felicia feels all is well with the world. What could be better than turning 21? However, her world is about to change forever. On her 21st birthday, Felicia’s legal guardian gives her a letter from her mother. Her mother is alive and well and living just behind her home. Felicia needs some answers and she needs them now.
Natalie, her mother, explains a story to Felicia, which almost seems too much to be true except for the fact there is proof to back up the story. Natalie left her baby because she has been running for her life. Natalie had mistakenly gotten involved with a cult and in particular the leader of the cult, Luther, who thought of himself as a God and her, his future queen. Luther had been thrilled to know he had a daughter.
Luther also knows his daughter has achieved the age of 21 and is still a virgin because he has known where she was all along and had people "guarding" her. It now time for her to begin her life with him and her sacrifice will take him to the next level of godliness.
Natalie takes Felicia on the run to a detective friend, Dylan. Dylan has his own mission where Luther is concerned so he is happy to help them with theirs. Together they work to avoid being captured by Luther and in the process take down his little empire.
I found Pursued by Evil to be a very intense book. Being intense is certainly not a bad thing but be prepared when you read it. This isn’t the type of book to sit down and read when you want some light before bed. This is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat with anticipation.
I truly appreciated the dynamics formed by the play between good and evil, God and Satan, in Cynthia’s writings. The book causes the reader to stop and think a bit about the life that they are involved in and the world around them. The characters are well thought out although I would have liked just a bit more information about them in the physical sense. However, keep in mind that is my preference where you might like to create more on your own. The nuances in this book are well defined and clearly lead from one step to the next so the flow in this book is fantastic.
