Publisher Description
As the son of the prophet of Blister Creek, a polygamous enclave in Utah, Dr. Jacob Christianson has struggled for years to reconcile his faith with his skepticism about the fundamentalist practices of his community. Nevertheless, when his family and neighbors were threatened, Jacob stepped up time and again to lead the fight against those who would destroy them. Now Jacob and the residents of Blister Creek face a dangerous new challenge to their quiet existence. Taylor Kimball Jr. wants to take over as prophet of Blister Creek— and he wants Jacob’s sister Eliza by his side when he does it. With no room for personal reservations, Jacob forms a tenuous alliance with his father and the FBI. But Taylor Junior is as crafty as he is brutal, anticipating Jacob’s plan and drawing him out to leave Blister Creek vulnerable to attack. And this time Taylor has come prepared, with a horrific new weapon capable of annihilating Blister Creek. If he has any chance of winning this fight, Jacob will have to decide, once and for all, just how far he is willing to go to protect his community. The fourth in Michael Wallace’s riveting Righteous series, The Blessed and the Damned raises the stakes in Jacob’s world to dizzying new heights.

"I really enjoy this series. I am so glad that I stuck with it. I was a little surprised at some things that happened with the main characters but I think that makes the series more realistic."

The Blessed and the Damned Listener Reviews
-
" Between 3 1/2 and 4. This is the 4th book of a series, and, though the story is exciting, the premise is getting old. "
— John, 7/9/2013 -
" I am hooked on this series. I highly recommend that anyone start from the beginning. "
— Cindy, 6/27/2013 -
" Not as good or easy to read as the other 3. I was extra disappointed when I got to the end and realized that it wasn't the end and there is going to be a 5th book. I really feel the author could have finished the story in 4. I'll read the next one and hope it's worth the wait. "

" This series is so terrible and I keep reading it. This one features as much over the top violence as the others but was much less rape obsessed (yay). Author continues to work out issues with women and basically breaks his arm patting himself on the back for admitting they are people. "
— Elizabeth, 3/7/2013 -
" This is by far the best of the four books in the series! "
— David, 1/3/2013 -
" I was about ready to give up on these books until the end of this one. I'll probably go one more to see what happens. The middle part of this one, though, was pretty weak. Just wandering through the dessert--Moses did it better. "
— Don, 11/23/2012 -
" A very good read. This entire series is interesting. "
