Scott Killian and the Letter by Jessica Manges is a YA adventure thriller featuring 18-year-old Scott who doesn’t want much in life. His parents have disappeared, leaving Scott alone. One day, he finds a letter his mother wrote before she disappeared, a puzzle that Scott needs to unravel. He and his friends set off on a journey that will test them to their limits as they face one obstacle after another, each one leading them closer to a stranger who might just have the answers Scott is looking for. Will Scott solve the puzzles in the letter? Will he find his family? And what other secrets will he uncover on the way?

Scott Killian and the Letter by Jessica Manges is Christian fiction at its best. Packed with Christian messages, this is a wonderful adventure story with a gospel basis that will keep you on the edge of your seat. You’ll be hooked from the first page as you follow Scott on a journey that will teach him much about himself. There is plenty of action and its twists and turns will keep you reading, with one surprise after another, right up to the ending that will leave you wanting more. Is there a sequel? I hope so! The characters are well-rounded individuals, complex and with their own flaws, and you’ll find them easy to relate to, especially the main protagonist. This is a captivating story, full of suspense and it really will leave you wanting more. Highly recommended story, perfect for any age, not just the young adult audience it was written for.
