"Right on Time" is a captivating Christian crime fiction novel that delves into the extraordinary journey of a 16-year-old girl named Ayanate, who tragically lost her sight on the day of her high school final paper.

Within the country, a powerful crime syndicate is gaining momentum, spreading like wildfire and striking fear into the hearts of both law enforcement and citizens. At the heart of this syndicate is Savior, a 23-year-old man who holds the position of second in command.

Today, she channels this interest into crafting compelling narratives within the realm of political, military and crime thrillers.
Naturally, I am not so keen on stories that have terrorists and war and too much suspense in them, but Right on Time changed my perspective. This is a story packed with so much action and suspense.
It gives us a glimpse into the mind of a supposed criminal and let's us see why he justifies his actions as right. Ayanate, the female lead, was also an enigma. Her story was a challenge to me and helped me to learn a lot about people with disabilities—they are also humans and can still do exploits.
In this midst of multiple personalities and a quest for revenge and justice, Savior meets Ayanate during one of his covert missions and it seems like a meeting right on time.
I'll particularly recommend this book as one that can give hope to those who live in dystopian third world African countries like Nigeria where the story is set. It's a book that will keep you turning it's pages, one you'll come back to over and over.
What I liked was the build up of the story. However the build up was slow. With so many other books out there waiting to be read, I decided to not finish off this book. Sorry Faith.
