The Pact
The Pact (Sarah Roberts Book Seventeen) Sarah Roberts has lost her ability to hear her sister’s messages. All forms of communication with Vivian are gone. Unless Sarah fulfills a pact with Vivian, one she knows nothing about, their ties will remain severed forever.In a time capsule Vivian prepared almost twenty-five years ago when she was still alive, prophecies and documents await Sarah. Several documents are addressed to people Vivian thought Sarah might know in the future. When Sarah’s father mails these documents, Sarah’s world is flipped upside-down. Instead of Sarah hearing her sister and performing tasks, Sarah’s friends hear Vivian’s words through the letters she wrote to them years ago.Back then, though, Vivian wasn’t clear on what each person should do to save Sarah’s life. Since the near future affects Sarah personally, Vivian cannot directly intervene and communicate with her. The future becomes the enemy, and the only way to stop it is to cease moving forward, to die. Sarah fights to stay alive without any spiritual guidance, something she has never done before, which becomes her undoing when she walks into a trap she cannot walk away from, and no one is there to save her.Here's what readers are saying about the Sarah Roberts ★★★★★ - “This is a great series!

Wow
I wasn't sure what I was getting into with this book. That was a thriller of a ride. Jeez. Jonas Saul.... He had me in tears. This series is the best I've ever read and I being an avid reader have read a lot of book series. I normally don't read this genre... But... Once I started book one I couldn't stop reading. Being a writer myself after reading this series I wonder if my writing genre will change due to the inspiration of Jonas Saul....Only Time Will Tell!!!!!

My Hero!
I am 100% invested in all the characters in this series, and love watching them evolve. As always the story grips me from page one. What a great way to evolve Sarah and her sisters connection so now Sarah understands that she can't always have the bigger picture. If Sarah ever has kids I would like to see her save a kid, from like an abusive adopted family! Save a sweet kid who is treated bad because that is who she is. As always I can be heard through my house yelling and cursing reading Sarah's adventures!

Can't get enough.
I just can't get enough of Jonas' writings. I have read everything of his I can get my hands on. Some things seem to be unavailable, but I keep trying. This book is a wonderful addition to his already spectacular writings. I had a favorite author prior to reading Jonas' works and now I have two.

Five HUGE stars for this one
I LOVE Jonas Saul and have been reading his novels for years. This one has gone far beyond "Good Read" with Sarah Roberts at the lead when she and her team receive directions from her sister Vivian describing their individual tasks. Get ready for the novel that takes you on an incredible wild ride. GET CAUGHT READING.

Another great book from Jonas Saul
This is another author you can always count on for a wonderful story. He doesn't know how to write anything but the best.

I always enjoy the Sarah Roberts novels! However for this one, it took me a couple of months to finish it. I feel like I lost a little bit of interest with the multiple story lines, which got a bit confusing to keep track of. I understand the purpose, since now the series is evolving into something more with Sarah and Vivian's relationship. I still really enjoyed this installment, just not as much as the previous ones.

Another traveling all over the world adventure. Saul writes a pretty decent story but he has let his readers down in that the Krav Maga that Sarah and Aaron’s instructors are suppose to know is now lost. They always lose and never show their stuff, what’s with that? Alex was the only character aloud to do his thing. Sarah does a near death experience and Saul backs it up with research, so Vivian and her become closer. 5

Still love Sarah
Well this book proves that Sarah has an angel on her shoulder. Vivian has made Sarah's life a bit iffy the last few books. Hope they get back to their regular relationship soon so we can stop worrying about Sarah so much.

Another great Sarah Roberts book
While I adore this series I had I difficult time with the first half of this one, I pushed through I’m so glad I did. Always a fast paced, enjoyable time in the Sarah Roberts Universe.

How many times
Sarah, presumed dead or being dead, would be a hard pill to swallow. Parkman's grief almost mirrored my own, but I had the luxury to know it wasn't over because I've already purchased so many more books in her story. Here's to hoping they keep on coming.

The one was a heart stopper. The plot had many twists and turns before the ending. Like all of Saul books the story flows and is hard to put the book down, just have to see what is going to happen next.

An agreement between the living and the dead has been reached...
And now with a pact in place between Sarah and her deceased sister, the march against the evil continues..... And , danger intensifies yet again.

Different Approach
I wanted to make it 4 stars but there was too much "reruns" between jumping to different characters recant what just happened. Sometimes I thought the second characters recant could have been shortened by 40-50%. Still there is plenty of happenings with Sarah.
