Renee's Review
I can see it now, this book has the makings of a mini-series. Becoming Calder, by Mia Sheridan is like a fine wine, I had to let it a few day and get a breath before I could write this review. It was deep, dark and completely mind blowing. I'm really not sure where to even start to give this book a review it deserves. Mia Sheridan is a very talented writer, she has taken this series "Sign of Love" and every book is so unique from the last. This one takes the cake for originality! This had your suspense, forbidden love, best friend, religion/cult compound, erotica, kid-napping, all in one book. This all takes place modern day, but the works of the compound have none of the modern conveniences we all take for granted.
This book follows Calder and Eden over a span over years. The first time Calder sees Eden, she is introduced by Hector (cult leader) as "the Blessed One". She was about 10 years old, Hector told his congregation that she would be his bride and stand by his side, just as soon as she turned 18 of course. You know he had to keep it all respectable and everything.... nothing creepy there or anything (gag). Calder has a beautiful heart even as a kid, always doing the right thing. He is a hard worker, and loves his family beyond measure. Eden is an innocent child, scared beyond belief, not allowed to associate with the other children with her being the "Blessed One" and all that and the bag of chips. They catch each others eye several times though the years but their friendship really blossomed when she turned 17. When I say blossomed, I mean fireworks!!! They start meeting at a secret spring and things heat up 1000 degrees or so. They decide they love each other, but they know Hector would kill Calder and punish her, so they will never be together. See mini-series worthy.
The twists in this book had me gasping, my water works were going full force. My heart was not only going out to Eden and Calder, but a lot of the secondary characters. Like Calder sister, she melted my heart. Mia did a beautiful job, what more can I say.... It was epic.
