Welcome to Litsy!

A man believes he is a messenger from God and his calling is to collect beautiful women to be God‘s brides. How does he prepare them for God?

He murders them.

Agent Brad Raines is determined to stop this killer, and along with his partner, Nikki, seek assistance from residents in a facility for the highly intelligent mentally ill.

This was an amazing thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat!

For the first time since coming here, Brad considered the possibility that he had entered a world where the minds were not sick when compared with his, simply greater - and learning to cope. Like Paradise, they were so powerful they required special systems that lesser minds, like his, did not. #teddekker #thebridecollector #mentalillness #gifted #greatminds #misunderstood #mentallyillgenius

"Whether or not they were willing to admit it, all humans were self-contained and alone. The wisest and hardiest among them managed to acknowledge that fact and surpass it. More experienced adults had found ways to cope, but many if not most felt it still. Younger adults felt it deep in their bones and cried out for significance. Some retreated from that insecurity as a matter of survival."

I'd read a couple of Ted Dekker's books in the past and wasn't a huge fan, didn't hate them, just weren't what I was hoping for. But this one is more to my liking so far. It isn't anything special, just a decent, well-paced, crime drama with some interesting characters. I'm hoping, and betting, the interesting characters are going to have a much larger, and even more interesting role, as the story continues.

Very thrilling, this is why I love reading Ted Dekker.

Just finished the audiobook version of this beautiful novel. I love how Dekker speaks simple truths in many unique and interesting ways! Keep them coming Dekker!

Reading Dekker again is great! This book is a little darker than what I normally read, but through showing how dark evil can be it also shows how amazing the light is. Listening to the audiobook version of this novel is creepy at times because some of the book details the thoughts of the serial killer, but this truly is a great novel so far.
