A devastating betrayal. A desperate search for hope. Can true love heal this broken heart?

For as long as Tamara Jensen can remember, running is all she has ever known... Running from her abusive family. Running from deceitful relationships. Running from the very idea of love itself. Moving from town to town and making friends only to lose them again has become a way of life. With each friendship comes the threat of betrayal, and each relationship the potential to have her heart crushed. But this time something seems different. He seems different. Can he be her salvation, all she has ever dreamt of, or is he the devil in disguise? To trust once more will take all she’s got left—the scars are still raw, and the echoes of pain linger. To be broken again will be the end for her, but all of the signs tell her to believe, for no one can run forever. Will she be able to piece together the shattered fragments of her heart and trust again? Or will the darkness finally consume her?
Ninety-Nine Signs is the gripping first book in the Ninety-Nine series, a contemporary Christian romance saga that explores the devastation of childhood abuse and the power of true love to heal. If you like flawed heroines, edgy imagery, and stories of unfailing redemption, then you’ll love Elisheba Haxby & Jesse Vincent’s spiritual fable.

Ninety-nine does not feel like your classic Christian fiction book. When you pick up this book, you are introduced to Tamara and Joe. Two secular individuals with very messy lives and relationships. The characters in Ninety-nine are relatable, which I appreciate. I often feel that characters in Christian novels are very cookie cutter and robotic.

Ninety-nine instantly draws you into the narrative of the main character Tamara. The pain she feels and the experiences she has are very palpable. Tamara is your typical broken woman who has seen too much pain in her life. She has a deep desire to try and outrun her own memories. She believes that she isn’t worthy of love and that her life is one destined for failure, heartache, and pain.

Tamara is drawn into a Vancouver diner one day after fleeing her hometown. She is running from a relationship gone bad. She starts to notice that the number 99 is everywhere and believes that it is some sort of omen drawing her into a place where she can potentially find some healing and relief from the pain of her past. Joe is the first person to show up and as a reader, you instantly fall in love with his good-guy attitude and kindness towards this vulnerable stranger.

The book moves at a nice and steady pace as you learn more about Joe, Tamara, and their pasts. Haxby and Rivas weave a wonderful story with strong character development and a plot that keeps you hooked as you read. You find yourself invested in the lives of these characters and the people who work at the diner. At one point, I wanted to throw the book across the room when I thought one of the characters was going to be killed off. I love when I get that invested in a story!

Towards the end, the book lives up to it’s Christian fiction genre. The authors start to write in more religious characters and Joe and Tamara find themselves talking more to God. I appreciate the story that Haxby and Rivas have created; however, the book wraps up quickly towards the end with a beautiful bow as religion comes in and saves the day. Ninety-nine adds to the multitude of Christian fiction out there that teaches that God makes everything right once you find him. Ninety-nine had the potential to break away from this common narrative and weave a deeper story of God joining in the mess and holding space for imperfection. I was disappointed at the perfect, sign-sealed-delivered ending. For me, that was a small disappointment after a book full of hooks, strong character development, and a fascinating plot!

I am looking forward to what these debut authors come up with next. Maybe we’ll be seeing more of Joe and Tamara in the future?

I love to read clean, christian romance books. This book is definitely a great read. The main characters and the plot keep you reading from page one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Journey of Hope
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2017

I was intrigued by the premise of the number 99 having symbolic meaning for the main character. I live in Oregon where Highway 99 (which figures prominently in the beginning of the story) is still around, but was the predecessor to I-5 and still has only a few remnants of its glory days (think Route 66). Tamara hopes that the mysteriously recurring number 99 (she gets a job at a diner named after the highway) means things will turn around for her, but soon feels doomed to the same fading fate as the highway. This is a story of real life, with the deep wounds but also deep joy that life has to offer. It is a story of hope and healing despite despair. And it is a story of discovering unconditional love. I love books more than movies, but for some reason I'm much more likely to cry at a movie than a book. I can only think of a handful of books that actually made me cry. This is one of them. But it was so worth it. Some things to note: this book deals with some very gritty life situations which some young readers may not be ready for. It is also strongly Christian in its themes and message, but does not come off preachy in my opinion.

Wow! Just wow. Definitely a page-turner. The characters are real people we all know. Deep, interesting. I found myself hooked on the journey from page 1. What I loved most is that the story led me to a place of tears over the profound beauty of not only salvation, but deliverance, forgiveness and ultimately freedom! I loved it so much I will be ordering book 2 and following these authors! I am an author myself, and I highly recommend this series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very moving ending to a very complex story
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2016

Tamara's coping strategy is to run away. While she's running, she starts noticing a preponderance of 99s in her life, culminating with finding the 99th St. Diner where she gets a job as a waitress and makes some friends. One friend in particular, Joe, she wishes could be more than friendship, but he is already involved with Sarah. For a while it looks as if the relationship between Joe and Tamara might work out, but then Tamara starts to doubt that the 99s are leading her to a better life and tries to revert to her well known coping skill. It isn't until she hears the story about Jesus leaving the 99 sheep to find the one lost one that she understands why so many 99s were put into her life.

The ending had me crying.

Additional Review: Apparently I read this book once before in 2016 though I did not remember it at all while reading and only realized it because it showed up on another online bookshelf (but not this one). What struck me the first time through was all the running Tamara did.

What struck me more this time was how so many of the characters turned to everything and anything but God. Joe had tried alcohol (and is now recovering but backslides). Tamara runs away, smokes, and drinks. She goes out with Kyle, who drugs her in order to have sex with her, and finds herself pregnant with no way to get in touch with Kyle.

The Christian part of this book doesn't come in until later in the story, unless you count the "99"s. I'm a bit leery of looking for signs like that. God isn't the only one who could put signs like that in our path. It's easy to be led astray if all you believe in is signs. But yes, God can use something like that to direct our steps too--so it's a fine line.

Tamara finds herself in a new town and cannot go any further because her car broke down. Joe comes to help her out and she notices the cafe he works at is looking for staff. She starts working there and develops a friendship with Joe.
