Storm Rising by Ronie Kendig (The Book of Wars #1)



About The Book: 

Does an Ancient Book of Prophecy Hold the Answers to Saving the World . . . Or Predict Its Destruction? Mentioned in the pages of the Old Testament but lost to history, the Book of the Wars has resurfaced, and its pages hold secrets--and dangers--never before seen on earth. 

Tasked with capturing the ancient text, former Navy SEAL Leif Metcalfe is once more given command of his own team. But their best efforts are ruined when a notorious Bulgarian operative known as Viorica snatches the volume right out from under them.

Iskra "Viorica" Todorova is determined to use the book to secure the thing that matters most--freedom. But a series of strange storms erupts around the globe, and the coming dangers foretold in the text threaten crops, lives, and entire nations. Though both are haunted by secrets of the past and neither trusts the other, Leif and Iskra must form an uneasy alliance to thwart impending disaster. However, the truth hidden in centuries-old words could unleash a storm of their own destruction.
"Ronie Kendig has always had a way of weaving a story that is so rich in history, suspense, and characters that are drawn together in a way that feels natural and real. With each new novel she just gets better and better."--Write Read Life

My Review: 

This new series is off with so much suspense and a plot that didn't let up. This series has ties to the Tox Files, which I like. Military issues are front and center and full of realism. The characters were fantastic! 

I LOVE the Biblical parts that add to the mystery. It makes it riveting. I feel like I'll be holding my breath until I get to read more of this series. I have now completely fallen for this author's books.

5 Stars
