The Faithful

De: S. M. Freedman

Narrado por: Tanya Eby

FBI agent Josh Metcalf believes he has uncovered a decades-long conspiracy involving missing children. His obsession has led him to compile hundreds of cases. All involve children rumored to have psychic abilities - and all have no witnesses, no leads, and no resolution.

Meanwhile Rowan Wilson, a meteorite hunter for NASA's Spaceguard Program, is losing her grip on the past. Memories of the childhood she thought she'd had are vanishing, and dark recollections of kidnappings, mind control, and an isolated mountain ranch are taking their place.

When Rowan's shadowed past converges with Josh's research, they uncover a deadly plot to reshape humanity. With the world's survival dependent on stopping a vast network of conspirators, can they decipher - and expose - the truth in time?

A good read..

First person…Third person…First person… Third person… And that’s how it went through the entire book. It wasn’t confusing but it was a little odd at first. However, you did get used to it after a while but I wouldn’t want to read too many other books like that.

One thing I will say about this book, it sure had enough FATHERS in it: Father Nardo, Father Santos, Father Gabriel, Father Barnabas, Father Cassiel, Father Zaniel, Father Disa, Father Palidor, Father Thanos, Father Manning, Father Angelo, Father Javan, Father Sachiel, Father Khoury, Father Caton, Father Taurin, Father Mandek, Father Raynor, Father Montego, Father Tierney, Father Hagan and Father Mannix. Gee, hope I didn’t miss any. Not to mention the other players: Josh and Rowan/Ryanna, Carl, Sumner, Ora, Lexy, Phoenix, Connie, Ashlyn, and I don’t know how many others.

This was an interesting story but I really don’t think it had to be almost 500 pages. That many pages tends to make the story go on and on, and you get soooo many characters in it. There were a couple of intense moments but no OMG ones. I might read the next book when it comes out since it’s only 350 pages. One person said this was the “best cliffhanger ever,” but that was the only one who said anything about a cliffhanger… It, pretty much, was…

You could consider this a HFN but if you want to know anything about what happens to everyone, because there are a whole lot of unanswered questions, and I mean a WHOLE lot, you HAVE to read the next book, what Ryanna called the second wave. THEN she was talking about a 3rd wave so you have to wonder if there will be a third book, a year or so down the road. Yeah, I don’t think I’m up for that. I’ll wait until enough people read the second book and see if anyone says anything about it continuing on to a third book, and if it does I’ll pass. I’ll just let myself be happy with the HFN.

There was swearing in this book and the F-bomb was released 12 times.

However, there was not a single kiss in this story. So, if you’re looking for hot and steamy look a little further. If you’re looking for ANYTHING between a man and woman look somewhere else.

As to the narrator: I like Ms. Eby’s narration but may I suggest that when you’re about to attack a ton of people and there only 3 of you that when you’re making last minute plans you ‘whisper.” That’s the worst thing ever, when it’s soooo important that you whisper and you don’t. That throws me right out of the scene, and makes it seem so stupid.

Great story!

loved the story but was confusing at first with character switches. saying who was speaking would help with that. other the than that, i look for to the next book

Too PC

The story is good, but I got tired of the oversensitive PC hero apologizing constantly

starts slow

wasn't sure I was gonna like it at first. then it picked up. entertaining good

Weird...but in a really great way

This book...well, it just wasn't what I expected. Probably should read the full description next time. Even though it wasn't what I was expecting, it was a very awesome read. I thought it was clever and unique. Can't wait to read the next book in the series and see where this all goes from here.

Good but not great

Takes too long to get going. More need s to
Be explained. About the villains. I enjoyed the
Last third of the book most. Good heroes

I really hope there is book 2!

amazing! I really hope she continues the series!!! so good. Definitely must read or listen

fun read

this is a fun read. It's a little slow in the middle but an overall good book.

Overall it was good. <br />

I like the voice acting. Story was good. Characters were good. Yes. Good.

This book forbidden to meglomaniacs

Since I believe that psi abilities exist this story is a little more than frightening. Narration is excellent, characters (good guys) real. A little more about the evil would balance the plot a little more. I just bought the sequel.
