About the Author
The author of two previous highly-rated thrillers (The Linen God and The Reluctant Disciple), Jim O’Shea spends his time crafting novels of suspense that frequently tackle the dynamic between faith and science. Jim believes God continues to reveal his creation masterpiece through scientific discovery, and that Christian fiction is a great tool to expose those emerging truths.
His third novel, “Blood Sisters”, is also very highly rated on Amazon but takes a more traditional approach to mystery/thrillers with a mind-bending whodunit in the tradition of Agatha Christie. His fourth novel, “The Beacon”, will return to his faith/science roots and feature a compelling blend of espionage, leading-edge science, and salvation.
More from Jim
I’m fascinated by science in general, but more specifically by discoveries over the past hundred years that point directly to a Creator and His creation. The new findings fly in the face of mainstream physics which suggests matter and energy make up everything in our universe and that all things, including our consciousness or soul, are direct results of their interactions.
Fortunately, humankind’s advancements in physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology, etc. point directly to the fact that the universe had an actual beginning as claimed in the Bible and our existence can not be explained by natural processes such as evolution. This should be a great comfort to every Christian, and my writing often tries to take these emerging truths and wrap them up into page-turning stories that provide the reader not with just a thrill ride, but also a glimpse into God’s glory!
My Thoughts
When I started reading Blood Sisters, I have every intention of just sitting down to read the first chapter or two before I got some cleaning done. A few hours later and my house is still a mess, I've turned the final page and I still want more! When I say I couldn't put this one down, I 100% mean it. Right from the very start it drew me in and left me wanting to know what would happen next.
I read a lot of Christian suspense as it is a favorite genre of mine, and this one truly is quite unique. I would say it's definite more of a psychological thriller than many in the genre, and really plays with your mind. As the reader, you are just as confused as Libby... uncertain if she's dealing with a mental health breakdown, a sister back from the dead or something supernatural. That uncertainty kept me at the edge of my seat. I enjoyed every single minute.
While there are certainly Christian elements in the story, I found that this could be one that even fans who don't typically read Christian fiction would still be able to enjoy as well. I am excited to check out more from this new to me author!
