Review:

I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.

Where Was God? is a Christian romance with a little bit of suspense. It’s the story of Angelica, who suffered a lot of abuse by her mother, and Jasion, who had a good childhood but is haunted by the memory of a girl he fell in love with when he was 13.

I liked this story for the most part. It was easy to understand why Angelica put walls up around her heart and turned her back on God. It was also refreshing to read about how Jasion didn’t give up on her. His keeping Nicole a secret seemed totally out of character, though. I was pretty disgusted with Angelica when she was so quick to believe the worst about Jasion.

If you like Christian romance, I recommend this book if you don’t mind quite a few grammatical errors. One that made me laugh: Jasion was thinking to himself, “Say something stupid” rather than “Say something, stupid.”
