Fear No Evil by Robin Caroll
Carlos would do anything to keep his little stepsister safe from her father. His mother let the stepfather beat on her, but Carlos wouldn't let that happen to his little princess. Then one evening, all hell breaks out...
Ms. Caroll did some extensive research before writing this book. She takes us into the world of gangs, domestic violence, Alzheimer patient's anger, and the psychological effects of violence on children. This is a Christian-themed story, but the biblical sayings don't take away from the value or action of the story.
Gangs often fill the void in a young person's life when families separate, aren't home enough or are substance abusers themselves. Being in a gang can offer safety, security, and definite guidelines on how you act. Those who are alone and feeling unloved can become an important part of a gang and achieve a feeling of family. However, there is no way out later.
Lincoln has moved from the Great Smoky Mountains to a small town in Louisiana to help his mother deal with his father, who has Alzheimer's disease. He's now a police officer, and his job should be easy in this small town. So why are folks being shot on the street?
When he meets Jade at a safe house where she is defending a victim of domestic violence, he thinks she's pretty and he likes her. But he has no idea of her past and the danger it represents. Of course, Jade doesn't either.
This story is very busy, has several plots intertwined, and is a very good read.
B & H Publishing Group and Net Galley gave me the opportunity to an eBook copy for review (thank you). The book is currently available as a trade paperback and available at your local bookstore. I enjoyed this read, why don't you try it?
