More. I need more!

Please tell me there are more books coming in this series. There has to be more coming. While I know the biblical ending of this story, I am so enjoying these characters and the author’s vision of how it comes to pass. Love how the main characters are coming full circle and are connecting once again. Hoping Ms. Grey’s fingers are speedily typing out the next volume even as I am typing this review. For those reading this, please, do yourself a favor and start reading this series from book one. You will not be sorry.

I have read all the books so far in this series.
I love the Bible quotes, and the various ways the different characters rely on God,
under some of the most serious and devastating circumstances.

I also like the way the author weaves into her novels,
up to date news,
into her novels.

Plus, I also like that she does not end the novels, on a cliff hanger.
Yes, there most likely will be more novels for this series,
but she does not leave you hanging for a year or more,
not knowing what will happen to the main characters.

But that being said, I do hope she will not take a year,
for the next in this series!!

I would give more than five stars if I could. The last book in this series so far and I WANT MORE!! Sorry for the caps! Lol!! I don’t know anything else to say but what I have already said about the other six books.
These books are inspiring, so alarmingly close to what will happen in the end times and beautifully written. The narrators were wonderful in all the books even though they had to change for the last two. They both did a fantastic job!
If you don’t listen to these or at least read them you are missing out. I loved them!
I received a code for these books from the author/narrator on my request. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

excellent Christian apocalyptic series

I have a great love for reading, and even more so for books related to the coming of the Lord. Well-written, believable, and excellent character building. Just enough suspense and mayhem to keep you biting your nails and enough glimpses of divine intervention to make the spirit leap. Thank you for sharing this series with us (your readers)!

Review of the Beast

This book by Jamie Lee Grey helped me understand the end times in a more realistic way. As we do not fully understand these coming situations, we gain perspective through works such as this book!
The details given in this book helped me sense the challenges ahead for us that claim Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.
I highly recommend this book especially as Jamie cites a number of Bible verses to back up the story. It is a pulse pounding thriller!

Excellent and Riveting Series

This entire series is riveting. It’s intelligently written and I haven’t been able to put it down. Jamie Lee Grey is an excellent writer. The end times scenario is believable. She knows her Bible. There is a Bible lesson in every chapter while keeping you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next chapter. Well done Jamie Lee Grey. I am a huge fan.

The Beast

Mystery Babylon book7. As with the previous books in this series the line between fiction and probable future is very thin. MS Gray, I appreciate the details and facts that you weave into the story.. And the characters are relatable! I hope this isn't the end of this series. I've read all your books and this series is my favourite.

Great Read for Our Current Time

The Beast (and Mystery Babylon series) is so up to date with current events, they seems prophetic. Kinda Reminds me of Tim Lahaye books and Joel Rosenberg. I am always ready for Jamie Lee Grey’s next book. They are easy to read and captivating. Thanks you for these riveting novels.

Awesome End Time Series

I have read all of Jamie Lee Gray’s books. This series was the best. Why, because of where we are in history right now. Her books are so interesting they are hard to put down. She shares scripture with you too. You won’t be disappointed if you read her books.

Great End Times Series

I have really enjoyed this book series by Jamie Lee Grey. Each book has flowed into the next one. I also liked the way scripture was incorporated into the books. I hope to read more from this author continuing end times events and the continuing story of these characters.

What I want to know is when the next book in the series will be out!! This series is action packed, provokes thought, touches the heart, inspires one to know Jesus in a personal relationship. But I'm sure there is more to the story that should be added to the series. So good I don't want it to end!

You will not want to stop reading!

I will admit to needing to get used to some characters and the switching back and forth between countries! After adjusting to this...I had a very very.difficult time putting the book down! Anyone who has studied their Bible and the events to come will love this!!!!
I have found another very good author in Jaime Lee Grey!

I’ve read them all

I’ve read all of Jamie Lee Grey’s books and enjoyed the storylines and the various characters. Please keep writing! There is so much more to tell about a relationship with Jesus and how we each affect others.

This speculative look at “End Times” from a Christian viewpoint is interesting. However, I struggle a little bit with the constant switching between three nearly concurrent storyline’s.
