Nine
by Rachelle Dekker
| -From Goodreads- Zoe Johnson spent most of her life living in the shadows, never drawing attention to herself, never investing in people or places. But when a wide-eyed, bedraggled teenager with no memory walks into the diner where Zoe works, everything changes. Now, against her better judgment, Zoe, who has been trying to outrun her own painful memories of the past, finds herself attempting to help a girl who doesn't seem to have any past at all. The girl knows only one thing: she must reach a woman in Corpus Christi, Texas, hundreds of miles away, before the government agents who are searching for her catch up to them. Award-winning author Rachelle Dekker throws you into the middle of the action and keeps the pressure on in this page-turning story that, asks Are we who the world says we are--or can we change our story and be something more? ISBN-13: 9780800735968 The choice is theirs to make... Fear or Love... Like father, like daughter. I can tell you that Nine is going to take me awhile to digest just like it would with one of Rachelle Dekker's father, Ted Dekker's books. There's a lot within those 340+ pages. |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

At face value it's a humdinger of a suspense novel with a touch of almost sci-fic technology. And it's got a delightfully spooky cover. But those are only surface things. They are not the deeper questions that Rachelle Dekker asks through fiction. What does it mean to be human? Are we simply products of our past? Can we change our programming. Can we choose our own story? Is there redemption for those who have chosen the darkness?
One thing I will mention about Nine is that there are some familiar faces from Rachelle Dekker's previous book, The Girl Behind The Red Rope, that she co-authored with her father. Parts of this story make more sense if you've already read that book. I found myself referring back to some sections as sort of a refresher. Don't worry, if you haven't read it you can still read Nine as a standalone.
Riveting. Gripping. Thought-provoking. Intense. They are all words that could easily be used to describe Nine. As such, I finished it in record time, less than a day. Rachelle Dekker's storytelling skill is vivid and undeniable. Some aspects of the story are frighteningly plausible in light of man's attempts to play God, instead of the conspiracy theories they first appear to be.
I enjoyed this book and I am definitely looking forward to more from this talented young author.
