with designer luxuries, extreme amounts of money and the protection of her new
employer, how could she ever give up her new found life? Will she ever find
love or will the life of power and fraud take over?
Personal
Appeal:
I’m usually a lover of fantasy adventure novels
as not much else usually sparks much interest. I stumbled upon Mike Wells’ In God we Trust and at the time (as
always) I was in the middle of reading an in-depth epic story written by a very
well known author. As a fantasy book lover I find myself drawn to stories that
I can really get my teeth into. These stories usually suck you into a whole new
reality whereby you just become part of them in such a way that makes you want
to keep reading more and more never wanting to leave the imaginations of the
authors. Commonly, these stories are part of trilogies or part of a whole
series of books so when I came across ‘In God We Trust’, I instantaneously said
to myself, this isn’t a story for me. I thought to myself “It’s too small. How could I possibly get to know a whole group of
characters and get to grips with each of their personalities if I can finish
the book itself in less than a few days?!” However I was ultimately mistaken. Each
character in this novel has their own story to tell and Wells write them in
such a way that makes you aspire to each character in their own right. 
Author –
Mike Wells:
Wells style of writing is so laid-back and so easy
to read. It’s refreshing to be able to read such a fast-paced book where you
never miss a detail but also where you don’t become overwhelmed in mind-boggling
information like some other thriller writers. This is what makes Mike Wells’
novel a great summer read, perfect for that pool side holiday where this
gripping thriller would do wonders for entertainment levels.
Revenge, determination and love fuel this thoroughly
enjoyable fast paced thriller. A definite summer read that’s worthy of the big
screen.
Review Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
