"What a great book and end to the series. I really enjoyed this one. It was a quick read that took a completely different path than I was expecting so that was pretty exciting. It wasn't as predictable as the first two books and I was really happy with how the series ended. "

— Stephanie (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Contains poignant examples of how God’s saving grace can change a person…The end neatly ties up the series.”
