Search - True Believer

Nicholas Sparks’ books are like cheesecake: sweet and fluffy, satisfying, and hard not to devour in one sitting. True Believer is the story of Jeremy Marsh, a cynical New York writer who makes his living debunking “supernatural” phenomena. As the story opens, Jeremy is headed to Boone Creek, South Carolina to investigate mysterious lights that appear in the small town’s historic cemetery. There, he encounters all sorts of amusing southern stereotypes: a talk-your-ear-off gas station attendant, a motel filled with stuffed forest critters, and a mayor overflowing with southern hospitality. What Jeremy doesn’t expect is the sassy, worldly town librarian, Lexie Darnell. As he comes closer to solving the mystery of the cemetery lights, Jeremy begins to dread the day he’ll have to return to New York and leave Lexie.

This is a breeze to read, perfect for making a bus commute fly by. The dialogue between Jeremy and Lexie is fun and snappy, and although the conclusion of the book is predictable, there are a few surprises along the way.

Big city writer goes to a small town and meets the woman he is to fall in love with. Nicholas Sparks typical love story......with a (dare I say it) happy ending.

DESCRIPTION: As a science journalist with a regular column in Scientific American, Jeremy Marsh specializes in debunking the supernatural. A born skeptic, he travels to the small town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, determined to find the real cause behind the ghostly apparitions that appear in the town's cemetery. What he doesn't plan on, however, is falling hopelessly in love with Lexie Darnell, granddaughter of the town psychic. Now, if the young lovers are to have any kind of future at all, Jeremy must make a difficult choice: return to the life he knows, or do something he's never done before--take a giant leap of faith.

This book was fun, though a little predictable. I did enjoy it.

I really liked it and am looking forward to the next one!

This romance tugged at one's heartstrings...and stretched the imagination somewhat. A New York reporter falls in love with a Southern girl while investigating mysterious "ghosts" in a Southern graveyard.

Great story! A great love story intermixed with a ghost story.

Jeremy Marsh looks for the logic and science behind the supernatural, and has made it a career to shed light on the supernatural. When accepting an assignment to investigate apparitions in North Carolina, he stumbles into a test of his beliefs and his faith.

Another great book by Nicholas Sparks
