DETAILED ANALYSIS

-RELIGIOUS CONTENT - There are Biblical references mentioned in various places throughout the story indicating some of the character's beliefs. These characters pray from time to time and there is a Christian conversion that occurs in the story.

There are also satanic occult practices mentioned. However, this is only to strengthen the evil nature of some of the characters.

-ADULT LANGUAGE/CONTENT - The word hell is utilized only once in the story, and this is the only profane word that is used... and I might add that it is used by a non-Christian character. This is another reason that I liked this literary creation. In my opinion, profanity and graphic sexuality is not a necessity when it comes to delivering a great story. And, Cynthia Hickey has substantially proven that my opinion on this matter must count for something, since I completed her manuscript in just two days while keeping a very busy schedule. I say, "Bravo, Cynthia! Bravo! - "Tim Johnson, author of TWISTED OAK:EYES OF DISCERNMENT

-VIOLENT CONTENT - I see more violence on TV than what I read in this story. My advice... read Pursued By Evil... TV has gone down the tube.

-CONCLUSION - Cynthia Hickey has developed a mysterious and thrilling romantic adventure that'll make you yearn for more when it's all said and done.

Pursued by Evil is a fast-paced, well-plotted book. Cynthia Hickey knows how to effectively use dialog to frame her scenes and characters. The plot is original and good. I enjoyed reading it. -Peggy Williams, author of The Daisy Patch
