Summary: Packed with Action
Comment: PURSUED BY EVIL is Cynthia Hickey's debut novel. The story flows quickly and imagery is perfect. It is an impressive start to her career. The ending is packed with action and proves to be one of the book's most dramatic scenes. It did seem to be left open for a sequel, and I hope the author is planning to return readers to Felicia's world. - RoundTableReviews

Summary: Evil Never Rests, Nor Does It Sleep
Comment: Felicia Wingate has had the perfect life - a nurturing environment that would make many children envious of her. But that perfect life suddenly shatters when she receives a mysterious letter from an even more mysterious individual - a witch, who claims to be her mother. In a matter of seconds, Felicia's life is in complete disarray as she's forced from her protective shelter and driven deep into the unknown on a horrifying roller coaster ride. Now, Felicia is on the run... traveling from an eerie haunted forest to a domain that's as icy as the ones that seek after her. Felicia Wingate no longer has the perfect life... Felicia Wingate, is Pursued By Evil. - Tim Johnson, author of TWISTED OAK:EYES OF DISCERNMENT

DETAILED ANALYSIS

-RELIGIOUS CONTENT - There are Biblical references mentioned in various places throughout the story indicating some of the character's beliefs. These characters pray from time to time and there is a Christian conversion that occurs in the story.

There are also satanic occult practices mentioned. However, this is only to strengthen the evil nature of some of the characters.

-ADULT LANGUAGE/CONTENT - The word hell is utilized only once in the story, and this is the only profane word that is used... and I might add that it is used by a non-Christian character. This is another reason that I liked this literary creation. In my opinion, profanity and graphic sexuality is not a necessity when it comes to delivering a great story. And, Cynthia Hickey has substantially proven that my opinion on this matter must count for something, since I completed her manuscript in just two days while keeping a very busy schedule. I say, "Bravo, Cynthia! Bravo!"

In short, I see no reason why anyone above 10 years of age should be kept from reading this story. The adult content in general is plenty mild enough for the eyes of a pre-teen.

-VIOLENT CONTENT - I see more violence on TV than what I read in this story. Frankly speaking, I scarcely see anything that's worth watching on TV any more... I usually have to watch a DVD of some favorite movie or re-run that I've always liked. My advice... read Pursued By Evil... TV has gone down the tube.

-CONCLUSION - Cynthia Hickey has developed a mysterious and thrilling romantic adventure that'll make you yearn for more when it's all said and done.
