I was first introduced to Ted Dekker several years ago when I read his Black/Red/White Trilogy. I quickly fell in love with his writing style, and how he drew you into the story, much like my other favorite author, Stephen King. So when I had a chance to read Kiss, I jumped on it.
The story is very interesting, about the daughter of a politician running for the White House. When a mysterious accident occurs that results in the loss of 6 months of her memory, the mystery begins. The story has a little of everything: adventure, mystery, romance, and even a little bit of “out there”, which is common in Dekker’s books. The ending has some nice twists, a few surprises, and a satisfying ending.
The book was one of those that I couldn’t put down very easily, and I managed to finish it in about a week of intense reading. With Dekker being that rare good Christian fiction writer, there are Christian themes under much of the story, but not so much that a non-Christian would be put out by it. In my mind, he is up there with Peretti in writing great fiction from a Christian viewpoint. Kiss is no exception, and I think almost anyone would enjoy this book.
