My Review

Promises is a novel that is a bit difficult to categorize. It’s a Christian book with characters who are very real and fallible. It’s a bit of a mystery, it’s inspirational, it blends military life with normal family drama. Her characters are complex and once you get to know them, most of them will steal your heart. Her main antagonist is complex enough to keep you wondering until the end. The book ends in a way that leaves you wanting more. It’s a great debut novel. Keep them coming, Casey!
