Book review for, "To the Uttermost," by Kristina Hall.

 

About the book:

How far will he take his quest for vengeance? Owen Lockart will track down and kill the man who murdered his three brothers and left him to die in the Colorado wilderness. And no one will get in his way.Sally Reiner doesn't know a stranger. She thinks nothing of befriending Owen, her family's new ranch hand. Little does she know he's won her trust to gain information about her no-good murderer of a brother.

Will deceit and vengeance destroy Sally and Owen, or will they trust in the only One Who is able to deliver them?

My thoughts: 4/5 stars

 I have a fondness of books that get right to the point. Dragging things out just isn't always my style. So I was very pleased that To the Uttermost started out with almost immediate action and danger.

Gun fights, outlaws, and cowboys are three of my favorite things in stories. So I enjoyed Kristina Halls story about all three!

I didn't instantly connect with Sally, but more with Owen. He's got a self inflicted purpose that pushes him to his limits. And watching him come to terms with the fact that it's not the purpose God gave him was pretty cool.

Although, Owen called Sally infuriating, it was he that was such. He blames Sally for things she has no control over. And I never quite understood that anger. But he did redeem himself in end.

There wasn't a lot of romance but Sally and Owen definitely had some sparks. (even though they'd both deny it)

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about To the Uttermost but I came to really enjoy it and get into it. It had a really good storyline, deep characters, and the best faith content.

I was really encouraged on my walk with the Lord through these characters and their respective walks. The way they all cherished their relationship with God and each other just made me realize that I was lacking in my own. And how badly I wanted to change that. And any book that changes my relationship with the Lord for the better is a good book to me.

100% clean and 100% recommend.
