Demolition

by Raven Markov

How does one eradicate a wicked organization entrenched in every corner of the world?

That is a question Shiloh Weiss has asked herself for three years.

Except, it’s not a question anymore. Shiloh has vowed that she will personally demolish the Celsus Dios Order.

That is, if she survives the genetic mutation threatening to take her life. If she makes it to David’s research base in time. If he even has the cure.

Meanwhile, Samuel also shares the resolution to see the downfall of the Order, but he soon comes face to face with everyone’s darkest The Order gaining access to David’s world-changing research.

The worst part? It’s all their fault.

But Samuel knows they serve the God of Impossible Things, and if there’s still breath in their lungs, they will do whatever it takes to demolish the Order. Even if it’s the last thing they do.

Raven has created yet another masterpiece to grace my favorite books shelf.
How?? I am speechless after that final act. Must I bid these characters farewell? Truly?
🤯🤯😩 Mind blown.

Wow. What a journey! I loved this conclusion to the Initiation series! I loved the ways Shiloh struggled throughout this book and the little moments of encouragement and faith-bolstering. The ending had me in tears. I've struggled with reading lately (really bad reading slump), but every time I picked this book up and got a chapter or two in, I was always really glad I did! The humor had me laughing out loud. The action had me white-knuckling my book, and the ending was *chef's kiss!

I loved the conclusion to this series. It was everything I hoped it would be. It was fast moving and action-packed. The characters feel like friends by the end of the books and I was really sad to see the end. I could hardly put it down once I had started it. I hope to read more by Raven Markov some day. I enjoyed the deep faith-filled messages and the sibling relationships and the growing attraction between two others.

Several times the author hit me in my spiritual solar plexus...
and I had to stop reading and pray to the Lord,
because that was 'me' she was talking to!

Very well written,
characters were great....

BUT

I had a problem.....
I knew from the beginning who she would finally chose out of her two suitors.

Still, as happy as I was she did indeed choose 'him'.
I still felt very sad for the one who still loved her,
and she rejected him, as her mate.

Soooooo, since I turned 80 today
Therefore she ( the author)
had best being writing...
as I type...
a 2nd series,
that finds the rejected one a true Godly love....
and I don't have 2 years to wait.

Authors!!!
Can't live with the slow pokes
and
can't live without them!

Did you read the part I just turned 80 years old????
it is not the age I have been panting for all my life to reach...

But it does suggest
I may not live in this world forever!
I would not mind if the Lord decided to rapture us tonight
or
take me home to be with Him forever.

So I want this solved soon!!
Does that sound peevish and demanding?
GOOD!
Because it is!!!
At 80 I can be that way!
Harumph!

And while I am at it
I don't want book ONE ,
in her new series
to end on a cliff hanger!!!

I want him happy...got it!?
in the very first series
In case I go home sooner,
than later.
Sooooo get busy if you are reading this
and have it ready by...
Okay Christmas would be good
kind of a long way off
but I am going easy on you.

Yes, drink a ton of coffee if you must
I drink tea.... so there.

And they can all work together
on taking down the bad guys
and maybe giving them the gospel
and saving some more..

I don't care.. if the all work together
but you can't leave him
sad!

Oh and could you add MORE scriptures
There can never be too many
but the spiritual Christian aspect was very impactful!!!

So hurry hurry!

Demolition was an incredible finale to the Initiation series. I went in nervous because I truly didn’t know how things would end, but it delivered all the action, faith, tension, and coffee‑fueled sarcasm I’ve come to love.

Shiloh’s growth as a believer—already strong, yet still learning and stumbling—felt so real and encouraging. And Samuel’s journey as a new Christian thrown into absolute chaos added so much heart.

If you enjoy action, suspense, faith themes, sibling dynamics, and a dash of fire, this series is absolutely worth the read.

This was an amazing conclusion to a great series. The previous installment fell a little flat for me, but this novel has to be my favorite of all three. I love Shiloh’s complex characterization and the way the theme is woven into the plot. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who likes high-stakes futuristic or contemporary Christian fiction.

An epic finale that brought tears to my eyes in the end. And yes, I was right about who Shiloh ended up with. Woohoo! This series had me hooked from the beginning. If you enjoy YA or Dystopian books, most definitely grab this series!!!
