The Paris Betrayal by James R. Hannibal {Book Review}

Huge thank you to Revell for sending me a finished copy of the book for review. I truly appreciate it and it by no means changes my opinion of the novel. 

Title
: The Paris Betrayal
Author: James R. Hannibal
Age: Adult
Genres: Christian Fiction, Suspense, Thriller
Publication Date: May 4, 2021
Publisher: Revell
Source: Paperback
Purchase: Paperback | Kindle | Audible | Christian Book | B&N 
Synopsis:
After a rough mission in Rome involving the discovery of a devastating bioweapon, Company spy Ben Calix returns to Paris to find his perfectly ordered world has collapsed. A sniper attack. An ambush. A call for help that brings French SWAT forces down on his head. Ben is out. This is a severance--reserved for incompetents and traitors.

Searching for answers and anticipating a coming attack, Ben and a woman swept up in his misfortunes must travel across Europe to find the sniper who tried to kill him, the medic who saved his life, the schoolmaster who trained him, and an upstart hacker from his former team. More than that, Ben must come to grips with his own insignificance as the Company's plan to stop Leviathan from unleashing the bioweapon at any cost moves forward without him--and he struggles against the infection that is swiftly claiming territory within his own body.

Award-winning author James R. Hannibal rachets up the tension on every page of this suspenseful new thriller.
 
My Rating:
I am a fan of James R. Hannibal after reading his Talia Inger Clandestine Service series. I adored both The Gryphon Heist and Chasing the White Lion! I went into this with high expectations and tons of excitement. This did not disappoint! I ended up giving this a 4.5 star rating. Hannibal's writing is easy to flow into and with such depth and description with use of military terms I always feel like I'm part of the action.

Ben is a cool man who has given his life up for his job just to be betrayed. Ben handled everything so well! It almost gave me Jason Bourne meets Gemini Man meets Jason Statham, I was hooked on him as a character! He wasn't just a military man, but a person that I could see in real life. A man who loved his job and was now hit with saving not just himself but those attached to him.

Action, drama, fast-pace. There is nothing that I could pin point that this lacked, but I wanted a bit more from the story. Overall, I love Hannibal's writing and will continue to read more from him!

Blessings,

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is  yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene
