WHISPER-

*2018 First Place Winner, CWRC Readers' Choice Literary Lighthouse Awards. 

It was bad enough for Violet Zendel that her twin brother hated her and avoided her like a plague because of her faith. When he became the CEO of their parents' company, she did everything she could to support his success. Then she planned a vacation to help bridge the gap between them and improve their relationship.

However, when the news about a shocking event reached her ears during the trip, it shook her to her core—and led to a trail of broken hearts. Violet saw no other option but to shift her focus from pursuing corporate achievements, to preserving her family members and their legacy. But that came at a very high cost. And in the process, she is challenged by riskier choices, which demonstrate in dangerous ways, that not everything was as it seemed.


THE SECRET HERITAGE- (100+ YRS AGO)

Shipwrecked and stranded at sea, Christian missionary Sierra Fernando had no choice other than to surrender her freedom. But when she arrives at the beautiful island of Lanzarote as a slave and stumbles into the king, she finds that slavery threatens more than her freedom—it threatens her life.

One year ago, King Peralta was sure his destiny as king of Lanzarote was fixed for him according to Lanzarote custom. He would marry the lady chosen for him by the council. Until he met Sierra and his choices shifted. With only twenty-four hours left, he must decide who to marry—a princess or a slave.  One choice will lead to a life of misery. The other will end his reign—and possibly his life—and set off the dangerous Hunter after him forever. When time runs out, which bride will he choose?


HUNTER-

*Amazon 2018 Top 300 Bestseller

Veteran police officer Angel Martinez has been searching for her missing brother for almost twenty years. Year after year, each trail ran cold and the clues dried up. With only a few dangerous, unwilling witnesses left, will John’s kidnapping ever be solved, or is her hope of finding her brother lost for good?


Dr. Ahmed Diaz had no more reason to live—or so he thought. He’d lost everything, and everyone he cared about turned against him. Strolling into the woods to end his life led to a stunning turn of events that would change him for good—and lead him into a path he didn’t know existed.


Stephanie Martinez was angry with God for letting her brother, John, get kidnapped. So she lived life the crazy way she wanted—until the man she loved changed into a person she didn’t recognize.

ABOUT BESTSELLING AUTHOR JOY OHAGWU:

Who doesn't like to curl up with a good book? I certainly have, for as long as I could remember. Next to books, I loved movies just as much, especially if it had action and suspense. No surprise then that I'm now writing romantic suspense, and inspirational stories! I'm grateful to the Lord Jesus for His undeserved mercy and grace. I earned a Masters' Degree in International Affairs from American University, Washington DC; and a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from the University of Ibadan, Ibadan. Professionally, I've been honored with multiple awards for pioneer academic research, student leadership and overall excellence. I'm a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers(ACFW) organization. I pen stories during evenings, weekends, and whenever the food takes too long to cook. Despite the many hurdles I've faced in life, God has been crazy faithful! I live in the beautiful State of Maryland.

This box set is truly amazing. Each book will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. The characters in these books are all very special people. I had the honor to review this box set for the author for a honest review. I would give these books a higher review if I could.

I received this series for free from the author in exchange for my honest review. That being said, I thoroughly enjoy the suspense and interweaving of faith in these books. The characters are well developed, their day to day struggles with family, faith, work, life is well written and completely believable. I found moments that I could relate to, as a Christian, I think we all have experienced a time where we wondered why we kept praying for someone and just wanted to give up. So much truth in a fiction set!! Not only does Joy Ohagwu write great suspense, but she also weaves faith and salvation into her stories seamlessly. Besides being a good read for Christians I recommend it to everyone. Religion is NOT shoved down your throat, this is a good clean read with lots of edge of your seat moments. It's refreshing to read a good suspense without needless swearing and descriptive sex acts! You don't have to be a Christian to want to avoid those two things when reading. Joy provides great reading with all the plot twists and turns and does it with class.

I absolutely loved these books! Ms. Ohagwu is a fantastic writer who has the awesome ability to grab the reader's attention and reel her in for a great story. These books have a lot of great themes - family, forgiveness, friendship, loyalty, mystery, love - set in an action-packed thrill ride of a read. The characters are very well-developed and the plot is definitely not predictable! I would highly recommend these books!

I loved the series. Fun suspense mystery and good strong Christian theme and characters. I did not like the epilogue. Felt like a completely different person wrote it. So many open questions. Who are these people in epilogue when barely addressed in books. Like trying to summarize years in last few pages. That part was disappointing but I loved the 3 books prior to that.

If you enjoy clean Christian suspense then this series is for you!

Whisper is the full-length prequel to The New Rulebook series and tells about Pete Zendel's beginnings. This series is full of suspense. The action will keep you turning the pages, and the clear road to salvation will touch your heart. Joy draws you into the characters and the story. God's love, forgiveness, and grace are weaved throughout and the character's faith encouraged me.

I have enjoyed Joy's other books and this series is the best yet. I enjoyed the real life struggles to walk in faith the characters faced showing by example how it's done.

I received a free copy in the hope that I would mention/review it on my blog. I was not required to give a positive review, only my honest opinion - which I've done. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own and I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
