Journal notes: First off let me say if you don’t usually read faith-based fiction but love great suspense novels you need to read Burn. When faith is mentioned it is true to the story line and doesn’t stand out. Burn is one very, very good suspense story. I was first introduced to Mr. Dekker’s novels last year when I read The BoneMan’s Daughters. At that time I added Mr. Dekker to my auto-buy & favorite authors list. And reading Burn only confirmed that I’d made a smart decision. Burn was bit different due to a paranormal aspect but very interesting in concept. Mr. Dekker and Ms. Healy collaborated on Kiss which will soon be joining my Kindle library.

The past Janeal thought had burned away is rising from the ashes.

Years ago, the Gypsy Kumpania where Janeal Mikkado lived was attacked by outsiders. With her best friend about to be consumed by a fire, Janeal had two options: try to save her friend–at serious risk to her own life–or disappear with the million dollars that she had just discovered . . .

But the past is quickly coming back to haunt her. Both the best friend and the boyfriend that she was sure were dead have reappeared in her life, as has someone who knows about the money. There’s a debt to be paid for the money she found, but there’s an even greater debt she must face–and if the chaff isn’t burned from her own heart, it will consume her.
