Clean, scary, and spooky!

Spooky, suspenseful, humorous, all with a Christian touch. There is no crude language, sex, or overt violence. This book is great for people who are uncomfortable with mainstream horror but want a good scare! The Christian theme is low-key; it is not the main subject of the book. I believe people of any religion who like horror stories would really enjoy this book.

Awesome till the end!

I loved how this book was interesting right from the start. I've read other reviews who casually mention unanswered questions. I think that's an understatement....all through the book there were all these great twists in the plot but it was like she lost control of it in the end...as though she had so many twists she didn't know how to tie it all together so we were just left with "Oh well...some things are unexplainable." I felt totally ripped off with the ending...I don't need every loose end tied up but enough so that it makes sense. She had me right till the end though. I would definitely try reading her again.

Impressed

This is the first book I have purchased from this author and I have to say I am impressed. This book was written very well. The story line did not die out and leave the reader waiting for something to happen. The author carried her characters and story line till the final page.

Makes My Top Ten List

In "When the Day of Evil Comes," Dylan Foster, a psych professor, finds her career, her beliefs, and her safety on the line in this creepy thriller. The title and cover caught my attention, but the first chapter proved that Melanie Wells could deliver. Dylan comes face to face with a strange, pale, scarred man; her mother's engagement ring reappears from the grave; and the story takes off from there.

Throughout this chilling tale, Wells lightens the mood through her character's wry humor. I'd love to meet Dylan Thomas again in a sequel. She's strong and independent, yet susceptible to a bit of romance and spiritual wrestling. She's not religious, but she believes in a personal God. The biblical ideas presented here are clear and sound, without being too preachy. Some reviewers seemed to want more direct answers at the conclusion, while I appreciated the author's decision to leave some things for interpretation. Life isn't always black and white, easily defined, nicely wrapped in a box.

If you like Dean Koontz or Frank Peretti, you'll find a lot to like here. Yet this book stands on its own two feet, original, with a female perspective, and perfectly paced. I hope Melanie Wells is working on the next one, because "When the Day of Evil Comes" ranks as one of my favorite thrillers this year--and one of the best Christian thrillers ever.

***With some of the shady things I've seen in reviews recently, I must add: I've never met, communicated with, or received any compensation from this author.

Very Suspenseful.....

I thought the book was very interesting right from the start. The story is very intriguing, and i found myself wanting to finish it in one sitting! I did however find many unanswered questions- which I hope will be answered in her future books.
