Boneman's Daughters by Ted Dekker

Boneman - The perfect father looking for the perfect daughter and a sadistic killer who wants nothing more than to break the bones of a daughter who shows herself unworthy to have the ONLY perfect father.

Bethany Evans - The girl who must prove herself the perfect daughter, or have her bones broken.

Ryan Evans - The father of Boneman's latest victim, who just might do anything to get her back.

The FBI - The people who think Ryan Evans is Boneman!

Boneman's Daughers is the best novel of Ted Dekker's that I have read yet. He masterfully takes the reader on a ride that you don't want to stop! It is a blockbuster combination of action and gut-wrenching reality. Both of which shine through the pages with more power than any of his previous novels.

Those of who have previously read Ted Dekker know that his stories always harbour hidden meaning. You might not see it right up front, but the more you think and read the more you begin to see a deeper meaning emerging from the story. Boneman's Daughters is the same way.
While it is the story of a serial killer who breaks the bones of his imperfect victims. It is also the story of a fathers undying love. And an allegory for OUR own Heavenly Father's undying love. A picture of God's unconditional love for his children. No matter what we do to him and no matter what we say to him he will ALWAYS love us... and nothing can change that.

Boneman's Daughters is the best book that I have read this year and it is an absolute MUST READ. Whether you are looking for terror, a deeper meaning, or both you will NOT be disappointed.

Green by Ted Dekker

Green is book zero, the beginning and the end, in the Circle Series. It is unique because it both completes the series for those who have read the other three books (Black, Red, and White) and starts the series for those who have not.

The Circle takes place in two separate realities. One which is the closest to our world, about 2060 A.D., and the other, which is in the future, about 4030 A.D.
The story is about a man named Thomas Hunter who one day falls asleep in the city of Denver (present earth) and wakes in a place called the black forest (future earth). He soon discovers that when he falls asleep in one reality he awakes in the other.
Green starts about 30 years after Thomas first fell into the black forest. His people have lost all hope, while Samuel the son of Thomas Hunter has questioned the ways of the Circle who lives in peace, not fighting against their enemy the Horde. He has gathered together forces in the valley of Migdon to wage one final battle on those who have rejected the ways of their creator, Elyon.

I was very impressed with this book. Those of you who have read other novels by Ted Dekker know that he has a very unique writing hand, and Green does not stray from the path. I would not recommend this book to a little kid due to the fact that it has some rather graphic battle scenes and excessive gore in multiple parts, but should be fine for older kids ( I plan on having my little sister read it). I would not recommend starting the series with Green, because you know how the story ends when you read the other three books.
The whole series is a beautiful portrayal of the love that our creator has for us.
Whether you start with Black or Green you are in for a treat, and I am sure you will love it either way. I highly recommend it.

P.S. The trailer explains the series better than I ever could, and it is VERY entertaining.
