The Chosen: The Beginning

by Tamara Banks, Nadara Merrill (Editor)

Jake Bell has been having the same dream for the last thirteen years. The Angel told Jake that he was the gatekeeper, one of the Chosen. God allowed the angels to solicit the help of earthlings to help to keep a balance between good and evil. Once Jake turned thirteen, everything would change. Jake and the other Chosen are being hunted by the dark angel and his soldiers known as the Trojan Horse. Unifying the Chosen and fighting together is Jake's only option to defeat the Trojan Horse. The angel only talks to Jake, so convincing his friends they are chosen will take a miracle. In the end, Jake finds himself in more danger than he bargained for. Their lives will be changed forever.

Classic good versus evil with action

This was a very interesting read that I think the younger group(preteens and teens) will love. The author did a good job tying all of characters together with short back stories. I have to admit going back to the past and present gave me a pause but it made sense in the end. It made you think. It's a good start to a series. Even though I hate cliff hangers.( 3.7 rating)

The characters have heart.

This was an interesting read and take on the angles story. The writing moved back and forth from third person to first person which can be jarring at times, but kept the reader on their toes. The lack of usage of some of the characters first names was also something new for me.

Interesting and riveting read

It was a little slow in the beginning but once the action started I couldn't stop reading and didn't want to put it down! I can't wait foe the next one.
