Secrets by Beckie Lindsey Book Review
MY BOOK REVIEW
Beckie Lindsey's book Secrets takes on four high school students, Mackenzie, Sadie, Tammy, and Krystal. It shows the struggles teens go through. For example, depression, sexual drama, and even suicide. We see the girls go through spiritual warfare. Lindsey does an amazing job intertwining all four of these girls experiences together. Her writing was descriptive, vivid and emotional. I could relate a little to these girls. The struggle with demons is real. This is not only a great book for teens but adults could relate and find the book to be interesting. I know I had a hard time putting it down. It was so interesting reading about the battles of demons and angels. I could see this being made into a movie. I can't wait to read book #2.
I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Author: Beckie Lindsey
Genre: Young Adult
Release Date: February 2018
Every girl has a secret she hopes the light will never find- but the demons already have. Four girls. Four sets of secrets. Four searching for answers.
Mackenzie is a shy, awkward new girl at school, depressed and desperate for a real friend. When she stumbles upon the deepest secret of a sarcastic, angry-at-the-world track star, Krystal, they become instant enemies-especially about the flirtatious baseball player, Bryce.
Tammi, a gloomy singer/musician who couldn't care less about what others think of her meets Sadie, a dancer and a people-pleaser with a cotton candy disposition. They have nothing in common until their lives begin to collide in more ways than one.
As the girls' worlds begin to converge, their secrets rather than their similarities draw them together. Meanwhile all that's kept hidden has left them vulnerable to a battle in an invisible realm where demonic creatures fight to keep the girls chained to their pasts while angels of light work to free them.
Can good ever come from evil? Can beauty ever arise from ashes?

GUEST POST FROM BECKIE
Why I write YA and the BFA series by Beckie Lindsey
I believe a teenager still exists inside each of us.
We hear a familiar tune from our "glory days" and are instantly tapping our toes. Mentally, we're back in high school-- poofy bangs, scrunchie, neon off-the should sweatshirt-- and all. Oh, wait. That's me back in the 80s!
Ah, yes, There is something wonderfully awful about those coming of age years.
From the first kiss to the first breakup, tehre are memories we cherish and some we dont care to ever revisit. Being a teen can be exciting, confusing, painful, joyous, or even all of those things at once!
No matter how different your teenage experience was from mine, one thing is true for us all: these years have an enormous impact on who we become as adults. We can all sympathize with the plight of puberty and the longing for independence and acceptance. Yeah, there’s still a teenager in all of us!
These are the reasons I write YA.
My hope is to use the power of storytelling to move past barriers and open hearts to accept how much God loves and desires a personal relationship with us.
At every age, we all need the grace and love of Jesus. In the Beauties from Ashes (BFA) series, I write about relatable characters with difficult issues and traumatic pasts to enlighten readers about the unseen spiritual battle referred to in Scripture. Each character has a secret that has left them vulnerable to the battle in an invisible realm where demonic creatures fight to keep them chained to their pasts and angels of light work to free them.
The characters and their issues are complex, just like real life. In fact, some of the topics are often considered too taboo to talk about openly. But what is left in the dark, festers and grows. It is only in the light that we can be free. In the BFA series, readers experience the character’s quest for truth, love, grace, and freedom while hopefully finding the same for themselves.
