Intent: Deadly Secrets

INTENT:DEADLY SECRETS by KRISTA WAGNER is a psychological thriller set in the nineties in the small town of Silver Canyon where we find Raylee Johnson, a pastor's daughter, being haunted by a feeling of impending evil which she cannot explain. With the horror of her parents' death, she has built a wall around herself that even her best friend, Paul McCoy, cannot penetrate. She is also angry with God. when billy Thurman, the boy she had a crush on in high school, comes back into her life, she falls for his charm and tells him things about herself that she has never told anyone else.
I do not want to tell you any more for fear of spoiling the read for you, excepting to say that it is an exciting, nail biting read, where we literally see the war between good and evil playing out in the story. There is also a really good Christian message of hope and restoration, with the author using Bible verses in just the right places.
I highly recommend Intent:Deadly Secrets to anyone who enjoys a really good thriller.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from BooksGoSocial. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Kaylee Johnson was a 21 year old who felt that working at her Aunts' hamburger joint was a dead-end job. Kaylee was going to college to improve her life, but that ended when she got a letter of rejection from the college.
Kaylee had never liked thunderstorms, and she was apprehensive as she went out to her car, she felt like someone was following her and watching her.
That night her parents celebrated her birthday and gave her a gold necklace.
Then her life changed, a person who taunted her in high school, Crystal, was friendly towards her, and a boy she used to like, Billy Thurman, talked to her and asked her to call him and hang out.
Her other friend, Paul, called with some good news, so she invited him over to celebrate.
Then her world fell apart the next day, she and Paul were waiting for her parents when they got a call from her Aunt Kim, her parents had been killed in a car accident when a truck hit them. Kaylee went with Paul to the scene and her parents suffered facial injuries and the car had white streaks on it.
Kaylee started hanging out with Billy - he taught her to shoot - a skill that would change her life...

This is a well written book that will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. It has just the right amount of suspense and drama it make it a really good read. Thank you BooksGoSocial via NetGalley for the complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

4 stars
This is more of a YA book. It was very well written but aimed at teens and up. I think many people will like this book.

In the book Intent: Deadly Secrets, author Krista Wagner writes about Raylee, a young lady whose life seems to be going nowhere. Raylee is working for her aunt and living at home and has just been expelled from college. What else could go wrong? How about not knowing who to trust?
This is a good roller coaster ride of a book. It reminded me of a Hallmark movie with deep character development but enough action and intrigue to keep you interested. I would highly recommend this book. I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Well written psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.
