Sisters of the Veil by Bryan M. Powell.

Shi'a Muslims flee from Lebanon and Iran to America. Jared Russell, a happy clappy Christian is building a mosque in Stanford, near Michigan. This is a multicultural novel which explores it's characters relationship with their god. It also illustrates how different religions can mix and co-exist.

Sisters of the Veil shows great promise and you wonder if there is romance in the air for Jared. But there is little drama and this story does not really go anywhere. Nothing much happens, there is just potential and a lot of posturing.

Jared is not a likable person. He is a gun obsessed god botherer, who bible bashes away with his beliefs. You can however laugh at Jared's church and faith.

Sisters of the Veil fails as a novel and disappoints the reader. This book fails to entertain. The ending is bad as it simply paves the way to the sequel. It is part of the Jared Russell series and is a 2nd class read with the feel of a happy clappy young person's bible weekend encounter group. This Amazon Kindle eBook is 253 KB long and was written in 2012. I will vote it 2 stars as it is such a poor read and I suggest you give it a MISS.
