(More customer reviews)Dylan Foster is having a bad week. First, she meets an enigmatic stranger named Peter Terry with a hideous wound on his back who gives her an ominous warning of the future. Over the course of the next few days, she finds her job, her life, and finally her sanity in jeopardy as everything she's grown comfortable with in her life falls apart. She believes she's been targeted by a demon intent on destroying her, but what she can't understand is "why?".
What if you'd been marked for destruction by demonic forces? Author Melanie Wells tackles that question in her new novel, When the Day of Evil Comes. Borrowing in part from subject matter you'd expect to see from the likes of Stephen King, Wells creates a storyline that is at times creepy and depressing, yet always seems to rise above complete hopelessness. The character of Dylan is an enchanting woman with a sparkling personality. A psychology professor, Dylan's life seems idyllic until the day she receives two gifts: a beautiful necklace, and her mother's wedding ring-a ring that was buried with her mother years ago. Suddenly Dylan finds herself thrust into the center of a strange conspiracy to discredit her. Soon she discovers Peter Terry has been visiting others too-with terrible results.
The tension continues to build as Dylan is accused of impropriety with a student she hardly remembers. Before she can defend herself against the accusation, the student kills himself. As she finds out more about the student, she uncovers darker secrets from his family's past. Now she must find the truth about Peter Terry before he destroys her life completely. Who is this man who can inhabit people's dreams and wreck almost impossible destruction in their lives? And how did Dylan, of all people, become his newest target?
This was a thrill ride of a novel! Wells keeps the pace moving in this book. No time to get bored here, and even in the process of learning background on Dylan and her friends, she makes it interesting and not expository. She even gives some interesting insight on demons (the explanation for the hideous wound on Peter's back is thought-provoking and will give you one of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments).
With a growth of Christian suspense on the market, When the Day of Evil Comes gives you something different and well-worth the read. It's a supernatural thriller with ominous overtones, but there's still a thread of hope dangling throughout. You can't be assured of Dylan's success (or even of her survival), but the ending leaves you satisfied while still wanting more. Wells is signed to three more novels in this series, so there's no doubt we'll be hearing from Peter Terry again soon. Just pray your life isn't the one he's targeted next.
