The Sounding

This book was provided to me, by the author, in paperback in exchange for an honest review.

A story of an ancient prophecy that has come to light to early and needs to be stopped, so the the end of the world doesn't arrive before it is meant to. Based on the book of Revelations and Revolving around a break away congregation of the Catholic Church. Angels and Demons. Forbidden Feelings and great descriptions of the history and buildings of the Vatican City. Elise suddenly finds her world totally turned upside down by an unexpected attack.

It took me quite awhile to warm up to this book. I was enjoying it, however it was for me really hard and not a relaxing read, but this is not a bad thing as it really gets your mind ticking over. Although feeling a little bogged down by all the history and background information that makes up almost the first half of the book, it becomes clear that it is necessary and I encourage you to push through as the book becomes very edgy and exciting with lots of unexpected twists. It was about the half way mark that the story got it's hooks into me and I struggled to put it down. (reading the last 200 pages in 1 day!)
The only down side for me was some of the editing left a bit to be desired, but something that is easy enough to ignore.
I would give this book 4.5/5 stars
