Burn

By: Ted Dekker, Erin Healy

Narrated by: Ann Harrison

She escaped the fire--but not the effects of the burn.

Janeal has long felt trapped in her father's Gypsy culture. Then one night a powerful man named Salazar Sanso promises her the life she longs for--if she will help recover a vast sum of money tied to her father.

When the plan implodes, Sanso and his men attack the gypsy settlement and burn it to the ground. During the blaze, Janeal is faced with a staggering choice.

The impact of that moment changes her forever.

As her past rises from the ashes, Janeal faces a new life-or-death choice. And this time, escape is not an option.

Fascinating Storytelling

The story is a good one, with an interesting twist. The narration was good, and I recommend the book to those who enjoy Ted Dekkers other books.

Anonymous Montgomery AL

The storyline was very riveting as it kept you on your seat trying to guess the outcome. Mr. Dekker threw me off as this storyline was not like his normal writings in which good and evil was clearly presented at the beginning however, this book was not presented until the end in which he ties it together beautifully. Great read/listen.

Riveting

Burn by Ted Dekker

Anything Ted Dekker writes be prepared to be wowed. His writing is awesome! The power of good and evil. How our choices effect so much of who we are vs, perhaps, our misperception of reality.

Thrilling Ride

If you've read any Dekker books, you know that you're in for a ride even before you open the book. I didn't expect the storyline to go the way it did, but Dekker usually does that- the unexpected.

Janeal, the main character, lives in a gypsy "kumpania" with her father in the first part of the novel, but she's not completely happy with her life there. Salazar Sanso, a drug dealer, approaches Janeal with a deal that could help Janeal leave the kumpania, but it backfires on Janeal and her life is forever changed.

I did enjoy the progression of the story, but the twist was somewhat unbelievable, a little crazy. I can't say too much without giving it away. It was, for certain, an entertaining story about good versus evil.

The narration was excellent. I especially enjoyed the Latino accent of Salazar Sanso.
