My personal Rating-

{These ratings are for content, since everyone has a different opinion on the Rapture and how it will happen.}
Ahh, yes, the love-triangle. It’s hard to comment on each book in this series due to (1), I read them all so fast and quickly begun the next book and (2), because they’re so short.


See y’all on Friday with a new review!


*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
