is introducing<\/strong><\/p>\n (Realms – June 3, 2008)<\/strong><\/p>\n by<\/strong><\/p>\n Mike is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance, the Relief Writer’s Network, and International Thriller Writers. He received his BA degree in sports exercise and medicine from Messiah College and his MBS degree in theology from Master’s Graduate School of Divinity.<\/p>\n You can read a great interview with Mike, over here on TitleTrakk<\/a><\/p>\n After learning of the disappearance of his nephew, Joe Saunders returns to his childhood home of Dark Hills to aid in the search effort. When Caleb is found, badly mauled and clinging to life, Joe embarks on a mission to find the beast responsible. But the more Joe delves into the fabric of his old hometown, the more he realizes Dark Hills has a dark secret, shrouded for three generations in a deadly code of silence.<\/p>\n As Joe unravels the truth behind a series of unexplained animal attacks, murder, and corruption at the highest level of law enforcement, he is led to a final showdown where he must entrust his very life into God’s hands. Will his young faith be strong enough to battle the demonic forces of The Hunted<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you would like to read the first chapter, go HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mike Dellosso could very well be the next Frank Peretti-if you liked The Oath and Monster, you are going to love The Hunted. \n A spine-tingling tale of hidden secrets, buried hopes, and second chances. A story best read with all the lights on and an extra flashlight–just in case! \n Mike Dellosso’s pins-and-needles thriller hurtles the reader down a dark and twisted path. I dare you to take this one home! \n With hints of Frank Peretti and Stephen King, The Hunted is a chilling debut.” \n A vicious enemy, a family secret, a thirst for revenge, and a need for reconciliation all drive The Hunted from intriguing beginning to thrilling conclusion.” \n Read this someplace safe as you experience the incredibly descriptive world of The Hunted. And sleep with the lights on. The Hunted<\/a> is a supernatural thriller that will have you jumping at every sound, especially if like me, you stay up reading after the rest of the house is asleep. The story grabs you at the very first sentence and won’t let you go until the very end. It was hard to put down to take care of the mundane but necessary tasks of life.<\/p>\n I won’t go into the plot or themes of the book – you can read most of that in the book description and comments by others. I will agree that Mike Delosso’s writing is on the par with Peretti or Dekker although with his own original style. The characters have real depth and the story line is believable yet extraordinary. Joe and Maggie’s struggles with their past, their faith, and their secrets made them characters I could relate to. I was very impressed with the deft manner spiritual truth was woven throughout the suspenseful story.<\/p>\n I would definitely give The Hunted<\/a> a 10 <\/strong>as a book to keep you up at night but one that also gives you something to think about.<\/p>\n This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing The Hunted (Realms – June 3, 2008) by Mike Dellosso ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Mike now lives in Hanover, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Jen, and their three daughters.
