This series makes long drives in the car go by too fast! Silenced is very suspenseful and is easy to find yourself right there alongside the characters wondering what to do in a similar scenario. Even though it is fiction, it really makes you think about how fortunate we are to have freedom of religion here in the US. I'm always on the lookout for books or book series that are free from inappropriate material yet draw you right into the story and this is one of those types of series!
