Thriller

For me, this was a quick read. Took a few hours. Could definitely be another to follow. Not huge character development, but again, not a lengthy novel. Interesting story line. Missing something...maybe more details? ( )

FROM BARNES AND NOBLE: Two teenage girls claim that they pregnant—and virgins. One is carrying the child of Christ... the other the son of Satan.

In Boston, seventeen-year-old Kathleen is pregnant—but she swears she's a virgin. In Ireland, another teenage girl, Colleen, discovers she is in the same impossible condition. Cities all around the world are suddenly overwhelmed by epidemics, droughts, famines, floods, and worse.

As terrifying forces of light and darkness begin to gather, Kathleen and Colleen find themselves at the center of the final battle for the very soul of humanity. Each of the girls must convince a young detective that she is the true mother of God... and that the other is carrying the devil.

Virgin births and demonic forces were not what I expected from a James Patterson novel. It was fast-paced and kept me reading till the end, but looking back after the final twist, I'm not sure how some of the incidents fit.... ( )

This is not my favorite of his books. I definitely prefer his mystery books.
