After being invited to Bible study by Delilah, a fellow student, Suzi meets a group of strangers who assist her in her conversion to Christianity, a religion her mother despises. It was then that Suzi realized just how dark her mother’s world was and finds herself in a battle for her soul. Not only does she have to grapple with the truth she’d been running from all of her life, Suzi soon learns that the new people in her life also have a twist of their own. In the end, the battle between good and evil results in a drastic turn of events that cost one woman her life.
Reviews
Crimson Sky
Crimson Sky is a welcome addition to American literature in a nifty novel which speaks to coming to oneself in a world full of influences and choices. Since the main character, Suzi, has a handle on what it is to be the child of a voodoo priestess, this story makes the pathway more incredible and enlightening. I love this book and can’t wait for more from author, Nikkele Shelton.

I read this book in less than one day. From the very start it grasped my attention and I did not want to put it down. Spiritual warfare is real.
