Less than a year ago, Simon discovered an underground group called the Messengers, and he set out to bring the truth they uncovered to light. The government of New Morgan, however, calls this rogue organization the Darkness and is determined to conceal, even eliminate, everything the Messengers know, whatever it takes.
Coping with consequences and clouded with conflict, Simon tries to navigate the perilous city of Westbend and his new life as an outcast. The Messengers-who formerly only existed in the shadows of Simon's life-have become his family. And it's a good thing, because Simon's life is about to get more difficult than he ever imagined, and there is no way he will be able to make it through alone."
I'm going to be honest...I thought I
wasn't going to pick up the next book in this series.
I am so glad I thought wrong! The end
of this book made me hunger for the third book. (Of course it's not
out yet...)
But oh boy! the plot twists...THE PLOT
TWISTS! I can't say much without spoiling it, but boy howdy they got
me hard.
Simon grew up so much in this book,
that is for sure! You see his faith get tested time and again,
struggles with forgiveness, desperation, doubt, and questions. He was
so HUMAN in this book. Every Christian has gone through seasons like
these, and wondered how we made it out alive. But in the end God
worked it out. (like He always does)
I love that each book has a small focus
on one of Jesus' disciples, and the redemption of one of his
followers. Discovered focused on Simon Peter and Mark, Concealed
focused on Judas and Paul. I am anticipating her choices for book 3!
I gave the first book a 3 star, I'm
giving this book a 4/5 star. I have such high hopes for book three!
The books are written to flow right
into the next. So because of this I recommend reading them in order.
