Book Review of Salty Like Blood: A Novel

Salty Like Blood: A Novel
JadedJenn avatar reviewed on


I have to admit that I was a little skeptical of this book at first. I don't normally read Christian fiction. I was pleasantly surprised though. It had an interesting plot and wasn't "preachy" liked I feared it might be. It is a fast paced story and that kind of hurts it in the beginning. I thought things got a bit glossed over. But the second half is much better.
The biggest thing I disliked about this book was the storyline with the next door neighbor, Amina. You find out hints about her, but her development doesn't really go beyond that. It seemed like she is just there to be a temptation for David. A pretty Muslim woman tempting a good Christian man. That didn't sit right with me and is the main reason I gave the book an overall rating of 3 stars.
This book could have been better but it was worth reading.
