Narrated by Lorana Hoopes
Run Time: 3 hrs and 49 mins
Genre: Christian Spec Fic
Summary:
Jordan Wright embraces her gift quickly, but Kat Jameson does not. This is pretty much the introduction to a series leading up to the End Times. I’m guessing at some point the baton will be passed on to a character mentioned but not really dwelt on.
Additional Comments:
- I enjoy stories like this. It got bogged down in Kat’s angry phase a little too long, but at least it served the purpose of bringing her through her dark moments.
- Interesting take on spiritual gifts.
- Some decent life lessons on not getting caught up in the technology and noisy stuff around us.
- Audiobook was fine. You could hear the difference between male and female characters. I always speed up narration. The author doesn’t have as great a voice range as would have been nice for the characters, but it also wasn’t a huge cast, so it worked out just fine.
- Youtube audio nearly broke when I went to 2x. It was grainy sounding, but I’m guessing that’s because the audio specs are slightly different.
- I liked Jordan better than Kat, but that’s because she didn’t have the fight-this thing going for her for 90% of the book.
- The cover doesn’t fit. It’s too romance-y, not enough spec-fic-y.
Conclusion:
Interesting beginning to a Christian Spec fic series.
