A must listen for the Christian. Good history, plot, and narrator. I laughed, cried and felt like I was in the room with the characters. God Bless this author for her AMAZING talent.

all-time favorite

Where does An Echo in the Darkness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of the most captivating books I have ever listened to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hadassah was my favorite character. I felt convicted listening to what she went through, and her faith she kept throughout.

powerful and peaceful.

I just finished the book and this always makes me sad as I love the characters and the story. So now I start the 3rd in the series. I believe I now understand what The Mark of the Lion means but waiting till the end of the 3rd book. So great. Once you get past the gory parts of both the 1st and 2nd book you see the glimmer of hope in each book. Dont give up. Keep reading! Enjoy!

Inspirational

Wow! This book is so inspirational. It displayed the love of Jesus with such detail through Hadassah. It taught how to love unconditionally, not judge others, be a servant and never get the glory for what is due to God! Love it! I was hooked.

A Must Read!!!

When I first started this book I wondered what have I wasted my money and time on, but as this book took off I drew deeper and deeper in love with it. I was looking for a Christian romance novel but to my surprise this was a gladiator type beginning. Don't let that throw you. There is so much love, Acton, romance and mystery to this book. I am starting on my third and last book of this series and I know I will dread for it to end. If you only have one book to read start this series for yourself. This is one of those must reads!!! I am in love with "A Voice in the Wind " series. You will be too!
