A dead body is just the beginning.
Pastor Ephraim Rosenbaum’s life is thrown into chaos when a young woman is murdered in his office. Rumors swirl and suspicion abounds, as even his colleagues and friends question his innocence. With public opinion against him, threats turn to violence, jeopardizing not only his life, but the lives of those he loves.

A life altering decision leads to an unexpected path of danger.
Special Agent Dalton Fowler has valiantly fought The Shadows, but when he’s forced past a point of no return, he finds himself looking over his shoulder at every step. When asked to help Ephraim prove his innocence, he jumps at the chance to do something that doesn’t involve The Shadows...or so he thinks.

I am speechless.

I’ve finished listening to this story in two days and haven’t reviewed it right away – because I was speechless – this story is so on the spot, so realistic regarding the condition of some churches and faith of many. It broke my heart, but it also solidified my faith and the urgency to follow in His steps and His guidance.
Wonderful characters that we meet yet again, intriguing plot, and an amazing narration – I couldn’t put it down.
I received an audio copy of this book; I was not required to write a favorable review. All opinions in this review are my own.

Great Mystery/Suspense

The Shadow series has me totally hooked. This one, like the others, is filled with mystery, suspense and adventure. What a great combination for the reader. There are the evil characters and the good characters, those who fight God and those who stand for Him, a church that is led by a dangerous head pastor and only three under him that stand for God's truth. And so we have the classic battle between good and evil in a spiritual battle. Very well written and a clean book; no inappropriate language or content!

The narration was very good a using different voices to express the character and attitudes of the characters.

I received this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Wonderful. Exciting. Extremely suspenseful and addictive!

First, the narrator does a wonderful job. She has narrated this entire series so far. Her character voices are absolutely wonderful. She does an excellent job with both, male and female voices. Because the narrator does an excellent job, the reader becomes more involved, attached, emotionally invested in the characters. This is not a standalone book. You definitely need to start from the first book in the series. Malachi, is someone who you will see throughout the series. There is definitely something special about him. The only thing that I am disappointed in, is the fact that I am reading this series in current time. We know that patients is one of the fruits of the spirit. If you are reading this series, the same way that I am, you know that God is definitely testing our patience as we wait for the next book to be released. I encourage you to pray for the author to be able to continue the excellent writing that keeps us all addicted to this series!

My Favorite So Far!

I've been listening to all the audiobooks in this series since the first, and I love each one. This one, however, may be my favorite! There is suspense and mystery right from the start, and a powerful message about being spiritually 'dead' when you think you're alive. "Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die!" Oh, and there's spiritual zombie vision. That's fun. ;)
The main story of this book centers around a pastor who doesn't really come into the stories of the previous three books, so you probably could listen to this one on its own and follow the story pretty well, but you'll get so much more out of it if you listen to (or read) the first three books first! Agent Dalton Fowler is back and still trying to figure out what's going on with the Shadows and with Malachi, and Tari is still helping Christians stand strong in their faith.
I received a free copy of this audiobook and chose to review it. All opinions are my own.

wonderful series and looking for the next soon!!!

I've loved listening to this series! Each book has an excellent standalone story, but ties in well with the others! I wonder which way the next story will go!! Coming soon and I can't wait! Will Dalton finally be saved?! ❤️
