Oh my goodness! Things keep going from bad to worse. A trip to Mexico becomes diastrious when they are betrayed. School restarts, and life continues to be crazy. The tablets they received for the Bible as a literature program begin to send strange messages, and the kids are starting to act crazy. Parents are disappearing, and the principal, Keith's father, is arrested, and school is temporarily shut down. A conspiracy against Christians is strongly suspected. I can't keep up with all the danger these folks face and the modern and ancient technology that they use. I love it, scary as it is!

This isn't my normal type of reviews because I am writing one review for five books because these are short stories meant to be a part of a bigger story. So I must warn my review readers that each story does end in a cliff-hanger. The stories are written in a way that any mature reader of any age would enjoy them, the only reason I said mature was because of the subject matter, it is a clean mystery and love story, there are a few curse words ( two or three but I can see where they are appropriate in the story, not just thrown in like some authors do).

The stories really keep me turning the pages, I had to know who was the bad guys and why there were doing the things they were! Oh, the love story in between the pages are just an added bonus for this reader who loves mystery and romance in the same story.

These stories are interlaced with Biblical verses and Biblical truths also, so I just have to give them all five stars. I really think any reader of Christian Fiction and Mystery Genres would like these books and enjoy them. I found myself thinking some of the things happening in these books might just became real in real life before long, ( like Religious Freedom might not be so free and we will have to fight for it like our heroes in these stories.

Ok, I have one complaint , there is going to be a sixth book and I have to wait for it, but such is a reader's life. lol.

I was given pdf files for review purposes by the author. These opinions are my own.
