“The Unseen” is the second book I have read by T.L. Hines. The first book “Waking Lazarus” was an intriguing book that held my attention from the first page. “The Unseen” didn’t have that same draw. Perhaps it is because the subject just did not peak my interest. I found it difficult to follow along with all the information about the urban explorers. The actual story was somewhat interesting, but the whole idea left me feeling almost violated, which I guess may have been Hines’ goal in the first place.
Lucas, the main character, is a loner who hides in buildings and spies on the inhabitants. But he soon becomes aware of a more sinister group- The Creep Club- that goes beyond simple spying and moves it to a more personal level. What follows will leave you weary to the point where you may find your hair raising every time you get “that feeling” that someone is watching you.
While I personally like the style of writers such as Ted Dekker a bit better than Hines, I will give his other books a chance before I decide against him as an author I enjoy. Be sure to check the book out at Thomas Nelson website and decide for yourself.

The Unseen- I Just Don't See It!
Time to take control!
Oh my goodness. My life has been out of control the last few weeks.
I ended up substituting as an assistant to a kindergarten child who has autism. I have a new respect for parents who have children with autism. He is such a sweet boy but I felt I was walking on eggshells the entire two weeks because I was just unsure of what might upset him.
Anyway, I was at school those two weeks and would come home exhausted therefore I didn't get much of anything done around the house. Thank goodness Lewis did a lot to help! But not one present has been wrapped yet. I have a huge stack of bills, receipts, etc that need to be taken care of. The house needs to be dusted, vacuumed and cleaned. You know the drill.
And now to top it off I am sick! UGH! When it rains it pours.
PLUS- I have been eating like there is no tomorrow and that has been bad, bad, bad. I'm really thinking of joining WW the first of the year. Hoping they'll have the free month thing again but who knows.
Anyway- I'm ready to take control again- with a lot of prayer, because I know I can't get a handle on all of this on my own.
Ok, enough rambling. Sorry to keep you so long-that is if you actually read through the whole post! I'm turning over a new leaf! Come back to see if I manage!
