Immanuel's Veins

I have always been a big fan of Tedd Dekker.  I've read just about every book he's published, and his imagination and ability to throw in a twist you just don't see coming never ceases to amaze me.  Immanuel's Veins is no different.  This book grabs your attention right off the bat.  The story is set in Moldavia in a time of turmoil.  The main character, Toma, is sent by the Catherine, Empress of Russia, to protect a woman and her twin daughters from any threat that may come their way.  The story unfolds in a way I never could have predicted.  I found myself so heavily involved in the character's lives that I could not put it down.  As a mom of two small kiddos and a middle school teacher to boot, I was shocked that I read it cover to cover in only three days.  By the end of the book I was crying and begging my husband to immediately start reading the story.  My only word of caution:  I would strongly recommend this book to any adult in the world, but it might be a little too much for younger audiences.  If your preteen is interested in reading the book, I'd suggest reading it first, just so you know the story so you can answer any questions they might have afterwards.  It is a story of the struggle between good and evil, told as only Ted Dekker can.
