A Silent Prayer: A Prayer Series I by Sam A.
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was given a free copy of A Silent Prayer in exchange for an honest review.
I was a little apprehensive when I started this book, as it isn't the type of book I normally read. It took me a while longer to get through it than normal, but there were parts of it that sucked me in. There are several reasons I didn't rate this book higher than three stars. First, the language is stilted, as if the author is fluent in English but maybe not her first language. It's more formal, and doesn't flow naturally. Second, I just didn't love the characters. Raina is very religious, and takes her Muslim faith seriously. Her moods are so unpredictable, that some of the time I felt lost. While Adam is a G rated Christian Grey. They should probably both see a psychiatrist, because neither of them are stable. There are several points in the book, that I thought might be somewhat super-natural, but it was never confirmed, denied, or even explained. The entire book is one big build up, to an ending that doesn't happen, at least in this book.
