On top of this, Raya is reeling from the recent loss of her entire family, and she finds little will to live. That is until she meets Mateo, who encourages her to pull on her faith to survive the torments the Program has in store for her.

Can Raya find the strength within herself to overcome the Program, or will it be too much to bear?If you enjoyed the first book in the Chosen Trilogy, then you'll love the second installment as Raya discovers true courage within herself.
“Snatched” is jam packed with suspenseful action and crafted to add faith based themes. Adversity fought with spiritual perseverance is always a great way to strengthen both the characters and invoke emotion and inspiration that lingers for the reader. This one has captured that concept perfectly. I love that it quotes scripture in an age where people prescribe to the fallacy that Christianity is something to keep private. Recommended for readers who love the age-old theme of Good vs evil, the kind that remind you to look above in times of trouble.
When I started reading 'Snatched,' I was quickly drawn into Raya's exciting story set in a future world where people's beliefs are challenged everywhere. The book is special because it mixes excitement, deep messages about faith, and important comments on society's problems. It also tells the story from different characters' points of view, which made me understand and care about them more. I found this book really makes you think and keeps you excited to see what happens next. I can't wait to read the next book to see how everything turns out.
What can I say except wonderful continuation of the story. I put all other books I was reading down to start this. I couldn't put it down. The intensity had me on the edge of my seat. Not to give anything away, but there was plenty of "Oh my!"...little Rio, Angel, Raya's TRP experience (can't even imagine), Naomi (smh), and the joyous moments. I will be purchasing to read again. Can't wait for Book 3 and branch off stories!

I don’t usually read books like this but it’s super creative and will captivate you. If you are looking for something to sink your teeth into this is a great choice
This is Christian fiction at its best. I love it when stories are inspiring with biblical themes and also have fantasy aspects that keep you on the edge of your seat.
