Sara's Review
When I started to read Thorns of Betrayal, I noticed it was the second book in the Spirit of Destiny series. I went online and saw that The Wishing Well Curse was the first. My curiosity was piqued enough, and I read that book before finishing Thorns. I'm glad I decided to do that. It made my enjoyment of the second in the series much better, since I had the story behind many of the returning characters, like Zeke, whose story is told in the first book. Something else I also enjoyed in this book and series was the interesting blend of Christian faith and the paranormal.
When it comes to the main characters, I liked Rose, and I found her story to be compelling. She had gone through so much in her life before she had turned 18. Because of that, I found her to be a sympathetic character, and I understood her fears and her hesitation. I wanted to keep on reading to see how things were going to turn out, as there were elements of mystery too. There were other returning characters including Pastor James. He was in the first book as well, and I took an instant liking to him.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes a blend of paranormal, faith, and christian fiction. I also recommend reading the first book, as it has some events that tie into Thorns of Betrayal, which I give a rating of 4/5 platypires.

Excerpt
About the Author:
Lynn Donovan spends her days chasing after her muses, trying to get them to settle down and behave long enough so she can dictate their words and actions. Thank goodness her muses love Christ or she’d be in big trouble. The results have produced The Clockwork Dragon, a collection of nine short stories in which she wrote half (4.5 stories), The Wishing Well Curse, and Thorns of Betrayal, Rocking Horse Shadows, and Christmas Grace, Signing Seeds. A speculative fiction called The Abraham Project is hovering out there somewhere. Lynn enjoys reading and writing Christian fiction, paranormal, and speculative fiction, but you never know what her muses will come up with for a story, so you could see a novel under any given genre. All we can tell you is keep your eyes open, cause these muses are not sitting still for long! Oops, there they go again…
