{These ratings are for content, since everyone has a different opinion on the Rapture and how it will happen.}
Like the majority of this series, I do have mixed feelings on this book and different plot points. I definitely recommend to have a firmer foundation in what the actual Bible says before reading this series.


See y’all on Friday with a new review!
