Ashton is a typical small town where everyone knows everyone else and the pace of life is predictable. No one would suspect that Ashton has drawn powerful demonic beings to it. Planning to gain control of the town - and eventually the world - these evil forces are looking for allies. When Pastor Young and the town's newspaper reporter begin to discover this dark plan, they turn to God for guidance, but others have already succumbed to temptation.

Great book!
Reviewed: 09-14-24
I read it many years ago, and knew I had loved it and was moved by it, but hardly remembered it. This time I listened. Very well done by the narrator, but a well woven story. If only we would all begin to pray for our nation like this.

Story
Silence is like trust: easily broken. The first time Claire and Megan Deveraux receive a cryptic text from the anonymous “AMZ”, they decide it’s a sophisticated scam. But when further evidence of a long-lost sibling starts to add up, Claire begins to wonder whether there is merit to AMZ’s wild claims...or just photoshop and dumb luck?

It’s a Mystery
Reviewed: 09-05-24
I heard about this from a friend and gave it a try. Not typically my genre, it wasn’t an ‘edge of your seat’ type of mystery, but I enjoyed the narrator’s calming voice as she read a novel with many characters, some with accents. Some details of the story were inconsistent at times, but overall I was entertained and the ending had a redemptive quality.

It was a good story overall and not what I expected. Some parts got dragged out a bit much but worth the listen.

Loved the narrator, loved the story, didn’t want it to end. Glad to see there are other books by the author and that there was a sequel!

Story
Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

Agenda Disguised as a Story
Reviewed: 02-08-24
While I was educated on some terminology, this was a sad attempt to push an agenda on people. It was clearly biased and it was clearly trying to make any dissenting views on LGBTQ+_>#< feel ignorant. I was annoyed by the absolute lack of respect for others’ views.

Forever and ever and ever
Reviewed: 07-14-20
The beginning was so drawn out and completely redundant and slow I couldn’t even continue after over an hour of listening. Giving it 3 stars because I never even got through the beginning of the story and I’m hoping it got better for someone. How many times can one repeat the same things in setting up a story and characters?
