Thrilling

Our Trespasses by Michael Cordell is a contemporary supernatural thriller that captured my attention from the start.

The story explores the inexplainable bond between twins. As I am big sister to twin brothers, I too, have witnessed the inexplainable ‘coincidences’ especially when my brothers were small.

We see that this world is not all there is. Some of the battles we fight are spiritual and we are used as pawns. Spiritual battles cannot be defeated by conventional weapons. We need the power of God and of love. We need to soften our hearts to defeat evil.

Our Trespasses was cleverly constructed. As the action built to a climax so my pulse rose in time with the tension.

Our Trespasses was a departure from my usual genre. There were elements reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies within the book. I was entertained but very glad that I was not reading it alone on a dark night!

I think Our Trespasses would translate marvellously into a Netflix movie. It has all the elements to be a great success. I am not sure I am brave enough to watch it though!

I am looking forward to reading much more by Michael Cordell.

I received a free copy from the publishers. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
