★ When the ravening wolf is in your soul, where can you run? ★
Scripture says, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” A timeless warning
since human nature is fallen and the devil, like a lion, seeks to devour
all that he can in every age.
But what can one Amish woman do? Where can Naomi Boentreger turn once
she realizes that the false prophet lives in her own soul? Is the
sheep’s clothing that she thought was pure merely a disguise that will
ravage her and the only family she has left? The family she wanted is
gone forever since she stayed in Justice, Maryland instead of following
her heart.
Her faith-filled choice is cold comfort, but believing is what she must do.
Undercover and working a case he’d rather not, FBI agent Daniel Graber,
an Englisch raised as Amish, is conflicted by more than the nefarious
activities of Aaron Esch, the suspected power behind an international
drug trafficking scheme. A missing Amish girl is another something
thrown into the mix and justice, true justice, demands answers.
Daniel can only hope and, yes, pray that Naomi “Mimi” Boentreger is not
involved in criminal activity. Prison would be a far better option than
the horrible death that may claim his one and only love if he doesn’t
step lightly. But how? How when all he wants is to secret Mimi away and
live the life that life denied them? The time has come for Daniel to
believe!
4 STARS
This was a well written story with plenty of emotions and drama. Add in the suspense that has to do with some hidden evil as well.
I liked both of the main characters and found myself really liking Daniel a lot. He sure had made some serious sacrifices. Naomi had made some herself even if they were a bit different. I liked when Daniel recognized what a strong woman she was both in her character and her faith.
I enjoyed this story although it wasn't exactly a favorite. I liked that this story was a bit different than some of the other Amish stories that I have read. It also comes to a good ending.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Booksprout. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
