  Suspense Novelist — Authority: 116
  Green is the fourth book, or the first, depending on how you look at Ted Dekkers Circle series.

  Truly, there is no justice in a world in which such a dynamite tale of romance hasn’t been made into a Bruce Willis movie (am I showing my age? okay, fine, Michael Bay movie, then. happy now?).
