My personal Rating-

{These ratings are for content, since everyone has a different opinion on the Rapture and how it will happen.}
This book was a bit painful to read because of Carpathia (sharing more lies) and Nada (interrupting Judd and Vicki). Not a favorite book in this series.


See y’all on Friday with a new review!
