Narrator didn't do it justice

The narrator was annoying and not consistent with some of the characters emotions and personality.

Great book

Terri Blackstock is a truly gifted author. Very smart, exciting and convicting. Made me want to spend more time in the Word and exercise my faith.

Christian struggles revealed

I love how this author shows the progressive steps of Christianity with the story she brings of those who know the Savior and those who don't.

liked it a lot

I wish I would have listened to it with my husband because he would have really liked it too. Kept my interest all the way through---was a bit predictable but I really liked it.

A Great Listen !!!

A great listen. A strong storyline and great characters. Terri Blackstock is a good author and this one is right up there with her best!

Excellent

I've never read or listened to anything from Terri Blackstock before, but stumbled across her name while doing a search for more Christian authors. I decided to give the above a go...I'm very glad I did. I've read/listened to quite a few writers of Christian fiction but if I were to be honest some can be a little syrupy for my tastes or if the stories are good then they're let down by the narrators. I particularly enjoyed the more realistic approach to walking the path of a Jesus/God centred life and the real struggles in terms of faith and commitment some Christians face. Some books in the same genre have a tendency to overuse Christian stereotypes which can get a tad boring. Terri Blackstock takes the reader on a convincing journey while keeping the characters real and relatable

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that not only were the characters believable and the story captivating, the narrator was very good and her dicton clear. I liked the fact that she didn't overdo the male voices as some narrators do when they're speaking the part of a member of the opposite sex.

Overall this is an intriguing story, characters that really draw you in and trigger many reactions. It's fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat and swiftly puts the reader in the place of wondering when the main characters are going to join the dots up. When the plot completely unfolds its a high adrenaline rush and a race against time before the antagonist is revealed amidst a climax of will they won't they. I will be buying more of her audiobooks in the future.
