This was such an interesting story. Seven people are given the gift of healing from the Lord. Watching them come to grips with the gift, trying to understand and willing to accept it was a journey. They are seven completely different people from totally different backgrounds and stories. When the Lord gives you something good the devil will come at you hard and Lucious and his minions are going hard. Gabriel and his team go above and beyond to protect the seven without interfering with the process in order to maintain their free will, which I really appreciated. This was a great story and with magnificent battle scenes. Makes you wonder what is going on that you cannot see. What stopped form giving it a 5 star is that, for me, it tends to be over descriptive. Constantly talking about what people are wearing, what everyone's houses look like, I found to be unnecessary. That is just a personal pet peeve of mine as I like to leave something to the imagination. While it doesn't end on a cliffhanger, you know there is more to the story, so I Can't wait to see what happens next.

This is a thrilling chilling supernatural tale of the bible. It is fast paced and action packed read. The characters have flaws and are very relatable. You feel their feelings and experience their fears. Spiritual warfare and how to fight the forces of darkness at its finest.

this was a well written thriller novel, it had a great concept and worked in the universe that was set. The characters were what I was hoping for and they were realistic people. I enjoyed the book overall and can't wait for more in this series.
