Janette DeLozier


Blink is a suspense novel about a princess from Saudi Arabia and a brilliant young man from Los Angeles. The princess, Miriam, flees her country to escape marriage to a cruel man whose father has plans to usurp the throne. She takes refuge in LA, where she meets Seth. Once he has encountered Miriam, Seth is able to see visions about her possible future(s). When Seth foils a kidnapping attempt targeting Miriam, the couple find themselves on the run from her would-be fiance and the US Government. Seth discovers that he is able to see farther into the future the longer he is with Miriam, which helps them stay three steps ahead of their pursuers. Seth wrestles with the existence of God, reasoning that if God exists, then there can be only one future for anyone, not multiple possibilities. I like that Dekker not only creates a powerful story but he also manages to ask deep questions throughout. It's about clashing cultures and governments; it's about destiny and the sovereignty of God.
