 | Trapped in a small town Mar 14, 2007 |
When her car is stolen while she is inside the gas station convenience store, Alessi Moore is trapped without money or clothes in the small town of . She relies on the kindness of strangers, but there are some people who think she's taking advantage. Until her possessions start turning up and her car is heard screaming down the main road in the night. Alessi is terrorized by the car thief until she wins over the skeptics, but will she survive when the culprit confronts her face-to-face?
This was an excellent romantic suspense novel! In fact, just writing this review makes me want to read it a third time.

I had mixed feelings about this book, based solely on the notes of other reviewers. How glad I am that I took the time to read it for myself! Kristen Heitzmann, again, took me to a place I was loathe to leave.
21 year old Alessi is a truly unique character, & one cannot help but love her. Through all of her struggles, which include being orphaned by 12 & unwanted by any of her biological family, she maintains her wry humor, warm heart, & non-judgemental spirt, along with her belief in miracles. Quick to forgive & offer a second-chance, Alessi is not about to take a handout from anyone. And oh, how she longs to belong somewhere!
Steve is scarred by women, having been abandoned as a boy by his mother & then again in adulthood by his fiancee. He's preparing to endure his first Christmas since his elderly father passed away. Gruff & bear-like, the reader knows the only way this boy's shell is going to crack is through the gentle, unassuming presence of Alessi.
The characters are lovingly developed, continuing to grow throughout the book as they learn more about God, themselves, & those around them. I found myself rooting for each one as they faced minor to catastrophic challenges. Even Carl, who I was pre-disposed to dislike, had gained my empathy by the end.
This is a beautiful story about God, love, forgiveness, faith, & miracles. The characters wormed their way into my heart & left me aching for their happiness. I personally could have used another chapter or two; perhaps merely an epilogue. I was not ready to let this story end. Instead I guess I'll just get a few more of Mrs. Heitzmann's books. | | |  | Intriguing idea but I felt it lacked real depth Jul 17, 2006 |
| A fast and light read but didn't have the depth I like to find in a story. It was an interesting plot on the surface and there was enough to it that I did finish it but I won't read it again. Once was more than enough for me. It is a good clean book and if you have nothing else to read it will do but if you have other selections I would try those first. | | | | (Frank Peretti's) The Oath meets (Shirley Jackson's) The Lottery May 30, 2006 |
Real & magic, warm & fuzzy, dark & moody -- Alessi Moore is a dreamy, smart, lonely, sorta-kinda-runaway Chick in a crazy, scary, small-town fix.
Definitely not as dark & supernaturally deep & evil as a Peretti novel; but rather frighteningly close to being as dark & psychologically deep & evil as a Jackson story ...
& yet ...
& yet there is an endearingly feminine, romantic, decidedly redemptive quality about this novel -- particularly in the way it ends -- that should resonate with modern Christian women, especially those who tend to enjoy supernatural & psychological thrillers. | | | | Great!!! May 16, 2006 |
| This book was very good. I will definately be reading more of this author. Just make sure you have time to read this cover to cover because you won't want to put it down. | | | Write your own review about Halos: A Novel (Heitzmann, Kristen)
