Three brothers. Power beyond reckoning. And a terrible betrayal. Adrian De Vere is the most powerful and charismatic politician on the planet. To many he heralds a future filled with peace and prosperity. Jason De Vere controls a third of the world’s media through his communications empire VOX. Brilliant and tenacious, little happens in the world without him knowing. Nick, international playboy (and archaeologist), is dying, a victim of his own recklessness. He has made a remarkable discovery he hopes may save him, but does not know how or what the cost will be.

Fantastic

This series of books is a must read! Wendy in her usual gifted form of writing brings end time prophetic events to life. Some of the things in this story have actually come to pass. Her captivating skill of drawing the reader in is seen in each book. There is no end to the twists and turns. Though each book can be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading the entire series in order.

Now Anna is determined to make a life for herself that doesn't include hopeless pining. But just as she's ready to move on, Quinn seems determined not to let go - and the way he's looking at her might be enough to finally change them from best friends to best everything.

Good story
Reviewed: 01-20-21
Nice interweaving of previous two stories. From a literary perspective, I admire the way the entire series plays as one big story with the different parts fitting in beautifully. I had been looking forward to Quinn and honestly thought their transition from friendship could have been developed a bit more. For that reason alone I found book 3 to be a bit shallow. The narration was perfect. Quinn sounded whiny because that’s exactly his character unfortunately. I don’t think he matured in this story. If this series was a quilt, I would call it beautiful. Well done Samantha.

I read this after I read the author’s book Greene Pastures and it did not disappoint. I love the characters, they are so real. I like the process of emotional development, the role of faith, the reality of broken lives and how it all comes together in the end. The narrator was excellent. I can’t say enough good things ... keep writing Kendra!

What an amazing story. I’m glad Becky tackled this very real issue of needing help while in the lime light. The characters were adorable and the story line with its twists were entertaining. Will there be a book two to finish the car accident - Angel encounter? Looking forward to reading more of her books. Well written!!

For the members of SEAL Team Six, it was a rare mission ordered by the president, monitored in real time from the Situation Room. Houthi rebels in Yemen had captured an American journalist and a member of the Saudi royal family. Their executions were scheduled for Easter Sunday. The SEAL team were to break them out. But when the mission results in spectacular failure, the finger-pointing goes all the way to the top. Paige Chambers, a determined young lawyer, has a very personal reason for wanting to know the answer.

Not sure what the other negative reviews are referring to. The story line was great and full of suspense, the characters were believable, and had their peculiarities. Yes, it touched an emotional chord, but the scenarios are what you would expect in real life. Concerning the political and religious overtones, they were objective for each religion and party, and very relevant. Do not miss a Great read such as this one!!!

An enthralling suspense novel. First book I’ve read by other and it was simply fantastic. Though I’ve read a fair share of suspense novels this is the first time my emotions were totally engaged. Fast paced, exciting and beautiful. Well done D.L.!
