Synopsis:

It is December 2017 and a sweeping religious movement is gaining traction in the United States. As spiritual leaders diligently work to spread the Word of God to the people, liberal factions in the world of pharmaceutical and scientific development create a secret society with a dark mission: to thwart the group's conservative impact on what society considers to be morally acceptable. As a string of church-related murders plague the nation, the FBI and local authorities race to locate the assassin responsible. 

When the members of the secret society realize that the murders are not stopping or slowing the threat, they resort to kidnapping. One of their abductees is Andrew Morrison, a key leader of "The Call" ministry. After he manages to escape from his captors in Texas, he must identify and locate his family as well as the killer of many of his friends that were fellow leaders in this ministry. But as angelic hosts enter the scene to protect and intervene, now only time will tell who will win this compelling battle of good versus evil as a church movement attempts to make a meaningful impact on the world. 

In this riveting supernatural thriller, a chilling murder spree places a church leader in the crosshairs of a killer determined to stop a religious movement.

My Rating:

This was such a ride for me. I started off with giving this a 3.75 star rating, but I settled on a 4 star rating after completing the book. It's such an interesting thriller with supernatural aspects. I enjoyed the writing and pacing of the story and all the characters were epic. I wasn't a major fan of the inner dialogue & thinking the characters did. I'm more of a character interaction person when it comes to reading.

The supernatural aspects came into play with the different angels. I enjoyed every single angel in this story. I just wish they would have done more and done things sooner.

Niki, the assassin, was such a twisted man. Hired by Prometheus to kill leaders that spread the gospel, he seeks to do his job to the end. I enjoyed and disliked Niki at the same time. He was a very disturbed man, but he played his role well.

Andrew, the main character, seemed annoying at first. As the story progressed I grew to like him more. He was a solid, strong character that didn't stray from his beliefs.

This book does follow several other POVs such as Prometheus, Beth (Andrew's wife), the angels and a few agents from the FBI. I appreciated that each character had a different feel and flow to them, which helped with the reading process.

Overall, I did enjoy this and definitely plan to read more from Scott. B. Delaney.

Blessings,
