First, let me start by saying that the description above is misleading. Out of the three things it described this book to be — the “scariest, strangest, and funniest James Patterson novel yet” — the only one I agree with is “strangest”. And I don’t mean that to be a compliment. James Patterson is one of my favorite authors, and I’ve read quite a few of his books. There are quite a few that I would rank higher in the “scary” category. And as far as humor goes, I would even rate his Women’s Murder Club series higher in that category. Patterson tries really hard in this series to be funny — to the point that it becomes obvious that he’s trying too hard. A lot of the lines that he believes would be appealing to young teens came off as lame and, quite frankly, annoying. Here are a couple that actually made me stop reading in order to write them down because they were so atrocious to me: “Dean looked at me, I dunno, as if a hamster had just snarled at me.” ~Page 39 “”The agent guys had come in with some, like, yoga mats for us, and they weren’t bad.” ~Page 50 “After that I gave them candy bars and they looked at me as if I’d just given them — Uh . . . Candy bars.” ~ Page 304 Maybe it’s just me and my pickiness, but I really can’t see these sentences appealing to anyone, even teens. Sure, it fits with Max’s character and gives her a personality that can’t be ignored, but it’s unfortunate that Patterson couldn’t find a better, less distracting way to do that. Other than the language, the book was good. It was full of Patterson’s famous plot twists and surprises, and there were a few scenes that were actually quite touching. There were also some action scenes that impressed me quite a bit. The book is fast-paced, and highly entertaining. Patterson answers a few questions from the first book, but he also brings about a whole new set of questions — something that will keep me reading this series. Even though the language annoys me, I have to admit that I am attached to the characters and am curious as to how their adventure turns out. Though, I think it’s necessary for me to take a break from Maximum Ride and her flock for a while.

Mesu has written a winner in Love Amid the Ashes! The opening scene pulls you back in time and gives you a story that some people might have never considered – Jacob’s daughter Dinah living with Job during the time of his inflictions. It was a very interesting viewpoint and one that compellingly drew the reader into the story. Dinah was a very strong character. Many people in her day saw her as tainted or a harlot because she laid with Shechem before they were married. Because of this she was shunned, her father didn’t acknowledge her, and no one would marry her. While she did sin, the amount of slander she had to put up with was sad. Often it came from people who had only heard about the events at Shechem—and the stories that were rumored around held many falsehoods. What a weight Dinah had to carry! I loved the way Mesu portrayed this woman. Dinah’s personal story, thrown together with Job’s, was a very neat twist. Job was amazing. This book opens up a new viewpoint that the bible doesn’t give—Jobs thoughts and feelings. The scene when Job gets the news of his wealth destroyed and his children killed is powerful and heart wrenching. Just reading the account in the book of Job is powerful, but to read Job and his wife’s, Sitis’, reaction...wow. Talk about walking into a nightmare! While a lot of Love Amid the Ashes is from the authors imagination, it is still—to some degree—very probable. The conspiracy of Sayyid’s, to destroy Job, was an interesting twist to this book. When one reads the book of Job you wouldn’t think of a conspiracy against him, but Mesu has added intrigue and suspense to this biblical fiction by giving Job an evil nemesis—Sayyid. Some may think this a little “out there”, but I enjoyed the refreshing and interesting plot. Even though I already knew what would happen in the story of Job, the addition of Dinah, Sayyid, and Aban was captivating. For this being her debut novel, I predict wonderful things from future books by Mesu. Her writing style is appealing and refreshing, taking the reader right into the moment. I could almost feel the dust clinging to Dinah’s skin as she journeyed with the caravan and I could picture Job’s tortured, rotting body. When events finally slowed down and the book drew to a close, I was sad to leave Dinah. Love Amid the Ashes explores a story from a viewpoint that most people have not considered, and that alone sets Mesu’s book apart from others. What a wonderful, powerful, convicting story is told within these pages!
