The Canary List by Sigmund Brouwer

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review!
What a good choice I made. At first glance I thought that this was a book about being hunted by past demons. I thought these demons would be something more real or maybe even a person from Jaimie's past. I could not have been more wrong. If you liked the DaVinci code for the pure thrill of reading it, then you will like this book. It delves into the inside workings of becoming Pope and the inner demons of the church.

In the middle of all this is a "friend" that Jaimie goes to for help. this friend is no other than her teacher Mr Grey. He has a whole lot of issues of his own. Needless to say he is key to Jaimie's happiness.

As you travel through the book you are caught up in a web that you do not want to let go of. Towards the end of the book everything becomes clear. However you still have a need for more. I is not because you are not satisfied with the ending, but because you do not want to leave the characters yet.
As you can tell, I was a fan of this book. The "Canary list" did not fully explain itself until the last chapter. Then, just to mess with the reader there is a twist at the end, and the last sentence makes you question the whole book, and yourself!
