The Devil In The Deep South by Amy Craig

This is a dialogue driven story that I sometimes had to go back a few pages to figure out who was speaking at a particular time.

It was a unique book in that it was written around a tornado hitting a small town and how the people all worked together to recover.  Christopher was a billionaire from Atlanta and originally visited Taylor’s bookstore in the small town before the tornado and couldn’t stop reading and commenting on her Facebook posts for the store.

This was the first book I have read by this author and it gave me mixed feelings.  The romance between Christopher and Taylor was my favorite part and was done really well.  Some of the secondary character conflicts seemed random and in some cases disconnected from the main story.  The Bible verses were certainly part of the story, but the actual role of religion seemed incomplete.

Some of these observations may be personal preference so please read the book yourself and enjoy the atmosphere of the “old” south.

I received an advance copy of the book to read and wrote this voluntary review after reading it.
