Claire Cummings has been diagnosed as being terminally ill with cancer and has just a few months to live, according to her doctor. When a mysterious doctor, Dr. Smith Viviee, meets Claire and offers to cure her, she's given fresh hope. Claire agrees to take his treatment, but at what cost? Find out in Certain Cure. Many things are hidden in plain sight, and all warnings must be deciphered and interpreted.

It would take time to forget Certain Cure. The novel completely engrossed and mesmerized me from start to finish. You would be captivated by Jennifer Valoppi's language use and unable to put the book down until you have finished it. The attention to specifics, which demonstrated that a great deal of research went into creating the book, was the key element that made the book so fascinating. All the biblical facts described in the book were accurate based on my comparisons, which furthered the sense of authenticity.

The level of tension in the novel was also part of what kept me so interested, and I was amazed at how the author managed to do it while still making the book a pleasure to read. The moment when I was most expecting what would happen next was when Justin and Madeleine confronted Dr. Smith Viviee. I was shocked by what happened next. The novel ended on a cliffhanger, leaving me expecting and praying for a continuation.

Another element of the story I particularly liked was how surprising it was. There was no way I could have foreseen certain events that happened. For instance, I could never have predicted Samantha's role in the book. I had previously written her off as a very minor character. Imagine my astonishment when I saw her true purpose. The author showed he could effortlessly incorporate the unexpected into any story.

I loved reading Certain Cure. I would have had no complaints if it hadn't been for the number of errors I found while reading it. The book should go through another round of editing. As a result of the number of errors, I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it to those who enjoy thrillers and suspenseful stories.

Mixing science and religion is tricky, even more in a story concerning a cure for cancer. I'm curious to see how this story handles these themes. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)
