Learning How to Live in the Truth

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.

Interesting YA story, but a little disconcerting

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.
