About this listen

The Elders say Abigail committed suicide, but Tamar secretly harbors doubt. They were best friends, two high school seniors looking forward to the future.... Now, she's gone. Could Abigail's death be linked to that forbidden book from the Old Days? Why did she have to read that stupid thing, anyway?

Haunted by these questions, Tamar eventually learns the shocking truth from an Apostate who passes along the notorious book. Curious, she reads it from cover to cover. Armed with knowledge, she begins thinking independently - a dangerous act according to The Anointed. As suspicion mounts against her, Tamar must do the unthinkable to avoid Abigail's grim fate.

The Anointed is a amazing well written book that says it's ok to have questions and not to follow everyone else. This book was very unique and well narrated by the fabulous Lillie Ricciardi. I loved how the C. De Melo wrote about the touchy subject of religious beliefs that didn't make it a prickly subject. I highly recommend this book if this subject does not offend you. This is my honest unbiased review.

As a Christian, the opening of the story was a bit disconcerting to me, but I decided to give it a chance. Without giving any spoilers, the main characters are developed well. I was drawn into their stories, which is what I look for in a book. The plot flows well. What I didn’t care for was it was a bit predictable. However, the ending did leave me wanting a bit more. I gave an overall 3 star review because I felt some scenes were rushed that needed more fleshing out. Overall, this is a nice story I’d classify as a YA book.

Interesting YA story, but a little disconcerting
