"If you enjoy shows like CSI and NCIS, you'll enjoy reading Blood Bayou. It's a crime drama/murder mystery with Christian characters and storyline woven into the novel. I especially like that it's a book I can pass along to my 17 year old daughter without any concerns of inappropriate passages. "

" I was not impressed with this book. The beginning was dragged out. It didn't get interesting until 1/3 of the way in the story. By the time I was almost 1/2 the way through I knew who done it. There was really no depth. "
— Lynette, 5/15/2013" Karen Young wastes no time drawing you into the drama in Blood Bayou, and her writing style keeps the story flowing nicely. For those not necessarily big on the Christian aspect, it's not so overpowering to feel as though it is being shoved down your throat. "
