Psychic phenomena, strange occurrences that shouldn’t be
possible, and cryptic messages provide a web of intrigue for four mismatched
people who end up sharing some strange adventures together. I wasn’t sure what
would come with this set of stories, but I was excited to start a new series.
The book is presented as four short stories in one volume. Each is narrated by
a different character and meant to be able to be read in one or two sittings.
Each story has its own plot but builds on the others. We have a professor who
ditched the priesthood, a tattoo artist, a brainiac who sees patterns, and a
loveable jock. These four friends keep finding themselves stuck together trying
to solve a strange mystery or save someone.
As the first of a series, this cycle of stories hasn’t come
to a grand conclusion. Each story is somewhat resolved but not completely. I
enjoyed it more than I thought I would when I began reading. The authors did an
excellent job coordinating on this collaboration, as each of the shorter
stories was penned by a different author. The characters were well-developed as
a whole and the plots kept my focus. It started getting a little complicated
with talk of other dimensions, but I look forward to reading the next cycle of
stories in the series.
I would recommend this book to those who enjoy reading about
the unexplained/impossible. It has Christian undertones but is not overly Christian.
I received this book
for free from the publisher through the BethanyHouse Blogger Review Program. I was not
required to write a positive review and the opinions and thoughts I have
expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade
