It's the year 3031. In a world where supplies are scarce, Michael wonders how he'll make it to his next meal. War and famine have ravaged the earth, androids and artificial intelligence possess civil rights, and in the midst of disaster, one man rises to build a new world--and become its new savior. If you bow to him, you worry for nothing, but Michael would rather take his chances and run. Except there is no escape. Meanwhile, Ivy celebrates her pregnancy with her husband, but all her joy is sapped away when doctors announce new life must receive Savior's chip. Her husband wants to cower to the rules, but Ivy wants to get away while their baby still has a chance. How can you escape when everything you do is monitored? Who can you trust except God?
514 is book one in a dystopian trilogy that will push readers to the edge of their seats. Follow Michael, Ivy, and her husband as they discover their faith and learn firsthand that when you have God, you have all you need.
Honestly I would give this infinity stars if I could! This book was absolutely PHENOMENAL!! I honestly don’t see how this book hasn’t blown up!
This is an End Times Dystopian, and I love it! I haven’t seen many Christian Dystopian books (I’m sure there are some out there I just don’t know about yet!) but this was an amazing introduction into this Genre for me!!
It’s fast paced, the characters are amazing and I love how unique each character is! It’s Dual POV, which is great so we can get both perspectives on what’s going on!
This does have some strong themes, and I honestly cried a few times.
I will immediately be going on to the next book in this series once it is out! I can’t wait to see what is in store for these characters and their journey!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — A Thrilling, God-Glorifying Page-Turner!
I.D. 514 by A. Bean was such a good book—I genuinely could not stop reading it! From the very first chapter, the story grabbed me and refused to let go. A. Bean is such a talented writer, and I absolutely love how she doesn’t shy away from crafting a book that will have your heart racing one moment and praising God the next. It’s rare to find Christian fiction that balances suspense, emotion, and faith so seamlessly, but she did it beautifully.
Ivy was everything—strong, fearless, and so deeply relatable. I loved following her journey and watching her courage shine through every twist and challenge she faced. She’s the kind of character who stays with you long after the final chapter.
My only complaint? I wish it was longer! A. Bean, I need 400+ pages in the next book because this one was just too good. I wasn’t ready to leave the world, the message, or these characters. Consider this my official request for an extended sequel!
If you love Christian suspense with unforgettable characters, a gripping plot, and a message that points you back to God, I.D. 514 is a MUST-read.
For me the writing of this book is a bit all over the place...I couldn't connect with the characters or story enough to enjoy it...if it wasn't for a reading challenge this would have been a dnf for me
