I had high hopes for The Visionary by Pamela Thibodeaux, but my interest started to falter approximately halfway through.
The story is centered on the successful twins, Trevor and Taylor Forrestier, who have suffered horrendous abuse as children. Alex Broussard approaches their enterprise and quickly inserts himself into their lives. The twins agree to do a job for him and Alex quickly discovers the extent of damage that their past has caused when it becomes to much for Trevor.
I understand that the basis of the book was that Trevor was supposed to turn to religion and stop suffering from trauma, however I feel as if marketing religion as a cure-all for problems is potentially dangerous. Although it may work for some, others should seek help in a psychiatrist or a counselor. The manner in which Trevor acts around Taylor made me feel awkward, it was almost as if they were in a relationship.
Do not get me wrong, I enjoy Pamela Thibodeaux's writing style and her descriptions are fantastic, but I feel as if certain issues should not be ignored.

I received a free copy in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are my own.
