Publisher's summary

She took down the Nephilim queen - but can she and her brother save the kingdom?

Sadie Larcen may have defeated the traitorous Queen Estancia, but she’s quite happy to be home with her family. Unfortunately, their fiendish neighbor, Mr. Marshall, is still up to no good. He’s called a press conference with plans to introduce the world to a living, breathing Bigfoot.

As a Sasquatch expert, Sadie’s mother, Amy, is coerced into lending her expertise to the spectacle. When Sadie and her brother Brady spy nefarious, uninvited guests at the gathering, they know there’s trouble brewing in the Tethered World. The two are driven into separate, dangerous exploits as they are thrust back into the schemes of the forces of darkness. Schemes that include using their autistic brother Brock as leverage to seize control of the Flaming Sword and the Tree of Life. The Gargoyles and Trolls have an ambition that extends beyond dominating these powerful elements. They’ve set their sights on the Topside realm - with or without the help of Mr. Marshall.

Deception is rampant, the enemy is subtle, and love dares to tug at Sadie’s heart amid the turmoil below. Once again, she and Brady will cling to God's faithfulness as they fight for the people and creatures they care for and against the enemies they fear.

Will the cost be more than they can endure?

A bitter sweet conclusion.

This is the third book in The Tethered World series.

This book differs from the first two. first of the first half of the book takes place in our world. This is a nice departure from the first two books. It was fun watching the Larson family navigate mundane obstacles like the police and news media.

without spoiling it, I do want to talk about the ending. It's a very intense emotional ride and I was not ready for it. keep tissues handy. And maybe don't listen while driving.

This is the last book and wraps everything up pretty nicely despite, or possibly because of, the traumatic climax.

The narrator reads well, taking on Sadie's POV, as her own. She does use voice variation and there are musical cues to indicate when a chapter ends, which I found helpful.

All together it's a satisfying ending to a fun fantasy series.

Great series

I really enjoyed this third book of the series. Yes there were some very sad bits, especially the sacrificial love of giving up one's own life to save a loved one, but the growth in maturity of the main characters was really well portrayed as were some unexpected twists. I liked how this book made you think about what is truly important - love, trust, family and honoring the Maker.

Fabulous 3rd book

This is book 3 in the series. Heather has written a fabulous trilogy; each book is better than the last. In this book the journey of the Larcen family continues with many unseen twists, turns, surprises, trials, and sacrifices. Heather takes you on an emotional rollercoaster.

Rachanee has done a really nice job narrating the story. She has a good pace and just the right amount of emotion in all the necessary places.

This book and series is appropriate for teenagers and adults.

Great Ending to a interesting Series!

This is a Series that truely needs to be read in order to get the whole picture of the happenings.
The Main Characters are a entire family and quite a few of the creatures from the Teathered World. This leads to a very good mix of viewpoints and agendas. Narrator did a wonderful job with the characters and storylines.
