"Intriguing and enlightening, The Black Cloister is an emotionally engaging and enjoyable novel that will leave you wishing you didn’t have to say good-bye to the two women who are sure to capture your heart as they journey toward freedom."
--Linda Michaels, CBN.com
"What a story! From the moment I opened up to the first page of The Black Cloister, I was hooked. This intense, well-crafted story about a modern day cult, will have you wondering long into the night. I look forward to more Melanie Dobson books."
--Linda Hall, author of Shadows in the Mirror
"The Black Cloister grabbed me and wouldn't let me go until I reached the very last page. A week later, Elise Friedman's story is still with me. I think about her, shiver at the horror she faced. Every now and then I find myself wanting to breathe a prayer for her . . . This book is good. Very good. I wish I had written it."
--Jessy Ferguson, Book Reviewer
"I have been forever changed as a result of reading Melanie's book, and you will be, as well. The action and suspense that usually keep me turning the pages of a book were there in full force, but they were also overshadowed by a larger story. The story of God's love for His creation, His goodness despite the evil darkness this world can hold, and His tenacity in pursuing the one lamb that was lost."
--Sarah, Real Life Review
"In tightly written, beautiful prose, Dobson manages to combine intrigue with cultural issues, such as prostitution and cultic abuse. Time spent walking the cobbled streets of Germany enabled this strong writer to paint a picture of winding, picturesque roads, majestic castles, hushed cathedrals, lush meadows, deep forests, and bustling European markets."
--Patti Lacy, Book Reviewer
"I couldn't stop reading Melanie Dobson's The Black Cloister. Dobson does it all in this book: she creates breathtaking suspense, characters you care about and addresses an important issue you won't easily forget. The Black Cloister is a winner--you won't go wrong with this book."
--Christy Barritt, author of the Squeaky Clean Series
"The deeper the darkness, the brighter God's light can shine--as Melanie Dobson so ably proves in The Black Cloister. A stunning book."
--Shelley Bates, author of the Elect Trilogy
"Dobson weaves a powerful and emotionally gripping tale that at times was so suspenseful that I would rather read the story than eat or sleep. The conclusion is also satisfying as it shows the power of true Godly love and how truth is more powerful than evil when you cling to His promises and minister to His children."
