Love the characters.Love all of "the feels" this book delivers.

Fantastic!

This story had me captivated from page one. It is a beautiful story within a story, written with perfection and touching the heart along the way. Emotional. Heart wrenching. With twists you won’t expect. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into with this series. I do love Charles Martin books (although I have most of them, I haven’t read all of them). I must say, this series is going to be different but I am fully invested after book 1. Sure, some may say it is too contrived but I believe that God puts together people and places through His providence, so Murph and the people that come into his life isn’t surprising. Having worked over 30 years in law enforcement, the methods, firearms and incidents were spot on for me. At one point, I wondered how he survived but one incident was primarily slicing knife wounds and in another, he wore a vest that took six shots so, there’s that… Charles Martin can get a little wordy but I love to learn something, too. This particular book flashed through info on boating particulars, routes and maneuvers. I thought it fascinating, some readers will not. I say skip those parts and read the rest and it will still be an intriguing story. So, on to book 2! A bit about the audiobook- Jonathan Riggs is a male narrator that I can listen to without cringing because he doesn’t try to sound like a girl. I know. It’s a thing with me. The emotion he put into the narration of this novel added to the story, his inflections were helpful in the telling and the distinctive voices added to the first person POVs. This book is suitable for mature teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes. There is a drunk girl that partially says several words early on in the story and “b—-d” is used once. The rest of the novel is free from bad language. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

Loved this series

Really enjoyed this book

Captivating story with strong moral ethic. Grips you right away and the intensity keeps your attention throughout. Subject matter is gut-wrenching, and I would not recommend it for younger audiences.
