Blood Bayou
Even though I had the killer pegged early on, Karen Young kept the book interesting with plot twists and character interactions. This book is Christian fiction, but unlike others in its genre, it is not overwhelming in its statement. This book was a good, easy read and I look forward to more books by this author.

Karen Young wastes no time drawing you into the drama in Blood Bayou, and her writing style keeps the story flowing nicely. For those not necessarily big on the Christian aspect, it's not so overpowering to feel as though it is being shoved down your throat.

Perfect reading for the Christmas season! Luke Jamison would do anything to help his patients—anything but get emotionally attached.
He tried that once, and it nearly destroyed him. Now his boss, the very determined Dr. Keely Hamilton, wants him to help her take care of Matthew, a delightful four-year-old who was abandoned by his mother. Just until she can figure out a more permanent solution. Luke swore he'd never get involved—not with a patient, not with a child and definitely not with a woman who wants more than a fling.
But now that Keely and Matthew have entered his life, things are about to change. And the fact that it's Christmas has something to do with that…. Rare is the story that takes readers out of this world and into another. More importantly, along the way the reader enters into a significant faith journey with the characters, one that begins with sin and ends with repentance and love. It is a rare book that can offer a superb story, wholly believable characters, and a heart-wrenching narrative of evil and redemption. Yet Karen Young has written just such a book.
