I always enjoy Ginny's book as they have so much more going on in them and this book was no exception flashing between past and present and following several different stories. I really enjoyed the characters, but caught on pretty quickly with who was behind the modern stuff. Still a good read, solid characters and lots to think about! |

CONVERGENCE. by..Ginny...Yttrup Anticipation or fear, a dread, that she is not in control, something as simple as a pen, is not in its place, where is it. Deni teaches a class of adults in the .introduction of Psychology., the file is not on her lap top. A stalker from before, is he back, he is to be in jail, after she suffered a brutal arrack. A book deal dealing with bullying, the appearances, then life changed, and she doesn’t want anyone to notice her. Compelling story, of the past and present, Is given to us. We have an inside look at her, her life, how will she move forward again, if it is another stalker. Compelling one to read, a life before that had so much to offer her. The author did a good job, and will look for more by her. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion by Net.Galley and Barbour. |
Convergence definitely falls into the suspense category. Plenty of ingenious plot twists will thrill suspense fans. The story line is intriguing – Psychology professor Dr. Denilyn Rossi deals with her past and present after a brutal attack left her emotionally scarred. Now her stalker is back, and Denilyn has to confront her fears head on. While the book had elements of suspense, the writing style tended to slow the pace of the action at times. Lots of wordy description of scenery and other minor plot points seemed to bog me down as I read. The story took place in three timelines, and at some points it worked, but in other places it became confusing as to what was happening in each timeline. Convergence is an enjoyable read despite with some of my stylistic opinions above. Observing Denilyn’s character change from the first page to the last kept me invested in the novel. Plus, there are quite a few shocking twists which is a must for any suspense novel. I received an ebook review copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own. |

“Convergence” by Ginny Yttrup was a great read! I have to admit, though, I had a hard time getting into this book, but once I got further in, I was hooked! I couldn’t wait to see how the story ended and what really was going on with Denilyn, the main character. Denilyn Rossi is a psychology professor who is trying to deal with her past. She is trying to put everything behind her and get on with life, as she tells her students. However, that is easier said than done! Adelia Sanchez is ready to confront her past and get on with life. Both of their lives converge, eventually. This book had a couple of great twists that I really didn’t see coming. This was the first book I read by Ginny Yttrup, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to reading more books by her. I definitely recommend this book if you enjoy good, clean, suspense novels. I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion. |
Dr. Denilyn Rossi wrote a book on bullying. Then she picked up a stalker. Years later Deni once again is feeling out of control. She feels eyes watching her all of the time. How can it be her stalker? He hasn't been released from jail yet, or has he? Once again Deni's life is in danger. How can this be happening to her again? This is author Ginny Yttrup's first suspense book and I have to say I was hooked from the very beginning! It did take me a bit to get used to the flow of the book. There are flashbacks and then present scenes so pay attention to the dates at the beginning of chapters. Denilyn wasn't my favorite character at first, but as the story developed she matured and became more likable. I really liked the spiritual lessons that Deni learned and how her faith matured. CONVERGENCE kept me turning the pages and not wanting to put it down until the end. It was exciting and well developed. If you are a suspense fan then I definitely recommend it to you! |
I had a hard time getting into the story line. By chapter five it got better and I was hooked. I loved the mystery of the story line and the ending. |
Wow. I was completely floored by this book. This is one of the most complex stories I've read in a long time. Dr. Denilyn Rossi is a psychology professor - but she still deals with debilitating fear and PTSD over events that happened over 8 years ago. This character is so incredibly multi-faceted, it takes the length of the entire book to unravel all her complexities. And there are loads of plot twists along the way. Despite how intricate her character was, I was still able to relate and empathize with her on many levels throughout the book. The plot. Wow, I don't even know where to start, or what I can say without giving too much away. However you think this story is going to go, you're probably wrong. There will be a multitude of twists and turns before you reach the end, and the suspense keeps you turning pages. I have not read one of Yttrup's previous books, but I greatly enjoyed her writing style and will definitely be checking out more of her work. The themes of fear and faith she weaves throughout this story were masterfully done, touched my heart in so many ways, and really make the reader think. Overall, Yttrup pens a complex and unique novel of suspense and faith and knocks it out of the ballpark. I highly recommend this book! |

Fasten your seatbelts. Convergence is a fantastic suspense. I throughly enjoyed this book. Suspense fans will not be disappointed. I received an arc from Netgalley and this is my unbiased review. |
This is a very well written christian suspense novel that will keep you turning the pages. It is one of those rare books that you don't want to end, but you just have to know whats going to happen next. I'm not good at writing what I want to say about a book, so I'll just say you won't regret getting this book. Thank you Barbour Publishing, Shiloh Run Press via NetGalley for the ARC of this awesome book! This is my honest opinion and I highly recommend this book. |
