The book was a decent read. Loosely based on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I found the storyline written well. There were aspects about the book I didn't care too much for, but that was just personal preference. What kept this book from being a four star is what it contains.

When I pick up a Christian fiction book I hold it to a higher standard than others. And language that is considered crude/vulgar/cursing(cussing) is not acceptable in Christian literature.

The word "hell" is used out of context. Telling someone to "shut the **** up" is not what should be written in a Christian book. And if an author is going to use the word bastard, then it better be in reference to an illegitimate offspring or a type of sword. Otherwise, as it was used in this book, it is not an acceptable word in Christian fiction.

The author was able to convey cursing and other oaths without using them. Why in these two instances he didn't is confusing to me. Although I have read other books by him, this time I think I will hold off on future books.
