Nicole, a teenager from Wisconsin, has been left behind in the Rapture. Everyone she loves is gone. Crime has become rampant. Chaos has erupted all over the world. Leaders have disappeared. The stage is set for the Antichrist to step onto the scene. She can no longer stay at home and needs to seek shelter from the coming wars. She befriends others like her, and they band together to survive. Reaching a breaking point, she takes things into her own hands and now has to be on the run from the new world leader’s regime. Something she clings to in times of need is the gift that her mother left her, a feather from her guardian angel, Abia. He helps to guide her in her purpose, but cannot offer her comfort in response to her most pressing question - “Why can’t I come home now?” Will she press on and fight the good fight, or will she be too weary to fulfill her destiny?
Redemption by Ione Joy is an End Times novel and the second book in The Armoire series. I recommend reading book one first. Redemption is a cautionary tale set after the Rapture (in book one). It sees the fulfilment of prophecies in Revelation. The world is divided into those who stand for Jesus and those who are for the Beast. The Beast believes that he can defeat the world but we know that Jesus has the victory. In Redemption there is a job to be done. Only when God’s plans are completed can we move on. God commands His angels to protect His children. When we know God we can have peace and hope in the midst of our trials. Ione Joy has created a thrilling sequel that will keep the reader glued to the very last page. I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
