About the author
Angela Elwell Hunt
334 books2,000 followersChristy-Award winner Angela Hunt writes for readers who have learned to expect the unexpected in novels from this versatile author. With nearly six million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the best-selling author of more than 165 works ranging from picture books (The Tale of Three Trees) to novels.
Now that her two children are grown, Angie and her husband live in Florida with Very Big Dogs (a direct result of watching Turner and Hooch and Sandlot too many times). This affinity for mastiffs has not been without its rewards--one of their dogs was featured on Live with Regis and Kelly as the second-largest canine in America. Their dog received this dubious honor after an all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan for the dog and the Hunts, complete with VIP air travel and a stretch limo in which they toured New York City.
Afterward, the dog gave out pawtographs at the airport.
Angela admits to being fascinated by animals, medicine, psychology, unexplained phenomena, and “just about everything” except sports. Books, she says, have always shaped her life— in the fifth grade she learned how to flirt from reading Gone with the Wind.
Her books have won the coveted Christy Award, several Angel Awards from Excellence in Media, and the Gold and Silver Medallions from Foreword Magazine’s Book of the Year Award. In 2007, her novel The Note was featured as a Christmas movie on the Hallmark channel. Romantic Times Book Club presented her with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006, and American Christian Fiction Writers bestowed the same award in 2019.
In 2006, Angela completed her Master of Biblical Studies in Theology degree and completed her second doctorate in 2015. When she’s not home reading or writing, Angie often travels to teach writing workshops at schools and writers’ conferences. And to talk about her dogs, of course.

Book Three is no less exciting than Books One or Two. In fact, in my opinion, it’s better. It’s better because — Oh, wait.
Not sure you want to know the spoilers.
So we’re gonna do this again. Yup, I’m gonna type random notes so you don’t see anything you don’t want to unless you actively click and scroll.
That’s right. You have to decide. Do you want to know the next episode from Andi’s POV?
I’ll tell ya a non-spoiler. Andi was raised in Florida by Jewish grandparents. And author Angela Hunt presents them both remarkably well. I feel like I’m in a Florida storm, listening to Andi’s Safta (Grandma) talk of how she’s smart but needs a good, Jewish husband.
Right of the bat, and I mean BAM! Front Page News kind of excitement- this weird thing happens. Andi has a premonition. Now, she’s always good at visualizing patterns, but notsomuch the other stuff. But it happens. And the wildlife starts to die off. Rapidly. But–super creepy here–with no eyes. Oh, yeah. That’s right. Fish wash ashore and birds drop from the sky with holes where their sightseers used to be.
It’s like Signs and The Birds and other creepy movies all rolled into one. And this is just Chapter Two!
As Andi researches mass animal deaths, she discovers another pattern. The pattern. Phi. Now, being the life student that I am, I looked up Phi. It hurt my head. So much information! And I wanted to get back to the book. So, let’s just call up a cursory memory of mathematics. Remember the TV Show NUMB3RS? “Everything is numbers.” Okay, but don’t let that scare you. You don’t have to be some awkward Big Bang Theory adult to get this. Just know that there are patterns everywhere, and Andi’s your girl for figuring them out.
“Something was out of kilter in the universe.”
Andi decides it’s time to get the band back together, and sends Sabba’s (Grandpa’s) jet to pick up the peeps. Not understanding the dynamics of this conversation, Safta and Sabba have left for their vacation home in Manhattan and soon the rest are having dinner together.
Remember the little boy, Daniel? He connects with Andi’s dog in a way only he can. As the group sits on the porch, something invisible–not Daniel’s friend from Book Two–startles the pair and Abby the Labrador runs off and disappears.
Meanwhile the University Hazmat team and local Aquarium doctor reach out to Andi and the Professor with their explanations, which really don’t explain a thing.
Of course there’s a Sherlock Holmes reference, the good detective’s take on Occam’s Razor. So I’m pretty much in love with the book for this passage alone.
I wanna say, “Now here’s where it gets good,” like the stuff I’ve read so far hasn’t been. There’s doubt and floating orbs and evil and things only a drunk can see and then there’s . . . more. A demon? An alien? A hallucination? And what becomes of it? Where is Andi’s dog? Why does Daniel see and sense things the others can’t?
I held my breath through most of the book, putting it down only to make notes. And here’s the thing, the most remarkable thing for me: I read it all in one sitting.
Folks, that’s just not something I do. But I needed to know what happened.
And you do, too. You know you do!

“There are more things in this world than you know.”
“The power’s not in us, but God can give us the power to fight them and the people who work for them. And more important, I think God’s the one who brought us together. We’re supposed to cooperate and warn people. We’re supposed to interpret the signs.”
“Therefore the land mourns, and everyone living there languishes, wild animals, too, and the birds in the air, even the fish in the sea are removed.”
This installment of the Harbingers series was decent. I felt like it was a lot slower than the others and didn’t have me as excited to keep reading to see what was going to happen next. Took awhile to get going but definitely the last third of the book was good. Still enjoy the characters and am still intrigued to see where this series is heading. I think part of my issue with this book was that it being the third book of the first part of 4 books of Cycle One: Invitation, it did feel like a stopgap to lead into Book 4 (no fault of the author’s). I did enjoy her writing and was glad that this was a clean book, especially compared to the first two.

Going to the beach will never be the same...
Another mysterious and spine tingling adventure set on one of Florida's sandy beaches. Don't let your dog wander alone... Just like the previous books I didn't want this book to end but am excited to read the next episode.

My least favorite of the series so far, but still intrigued to see where this thing goes.

Three stars for good writing, but no more, because it feels arbitrary and disconnected from the others. Nothing really happens...and her patterns never answer a question or reveal a clue...

Quite a twist right at the end of this portion of the series.

Part of a story
Good story, but incomplete. There doesn't seem to be a beginning or an end. While only one episode of many, this story does not stand in it's own.

Another great book in this series!
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the books in this series! Like the other two books, this one was delightfully creepy, but it placed a special emphasis on the theme of good vs. evil. I'm looking forward to reading Book 4!

I enjoyed this supernatural freaky read. I like the characters in these books and am having fun reading them. Thanks to the author for keeping the language clean, unlike book 2.

No character development. I likely won't read the whole series.

Nice book, entertaining enough.
It becomes more and more clear why the group ended up together.
This part was more about Andrea(Andy) and Tank(cowboy) reveals his secret power
en his feelings for Andrea.
