ARC Review: Shadow Chaser by Jerel Law

Shadow Chaser by Jerel Law
Published by Thomas Nelson Inc on 2013

Join part angel Jonah Stone as he faces his biggest challenge yet!

Many months have passed since part angel siblings Jonah, Eliza, and Jeremiah Stone began their angelic training. As part angels, orquarterlings, the siblings joined other children of nephilim to begin honing their special powers.

In this third installment in the Son of Angels series, Jonah's story comes to resemble a modern-day Job as he's faced with trials that affect his health, strength, relationships, and most-prized possessions. As he and the other quarterlings prepare for mid-term exams, their powers are tested once again in the most fierce battle against Abaddon's forces yet. Will Jonah's faith in Elohim continue to persevere as he fights Abaddon in his hardest battle yet?

Parents today are looking for fiction that makes Christianity and the Bible exciting for their kids. This series is the first Christian answer to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Kane Chronicles, the Secret Series, and other middle-grade series packed with action, adventure, and supernatural fights. But the message is solidly based in Scripture, conveying God is always in control.

Meets national education standards.

WARNING: May contain spoilers for first two books.

As if Jonah has not been tested enough already, in Shadow Chaser, he is really pushed to the limits of what any one person can be expected to endure, much less a teenage boy, even if that teenage boy is part angel.

It’s about time for midterms at Angel School. But of course, seeing as the students are part angel, these exams aren’t simply just the pen and paper kind. And you thought your high school and college tests were hard!

In Shadow Chaser, we really get to see what Jonah is made of. He is really put through the ringer, both mind and body, but also in spirit and his faith is challenged in more ways than one. He faces challenges in every aspect and has to find ways to rise to those challenges. Can he do it? You will have to read the book to find out.

I enjoyed this book, maybe a little more than the other two. While some of the religious aspects were still a bit obscure to me, having not grown up in the church, it was a little easier for me to follow than the other two. I still feel like this is a cross between Percy Jackson and The Mortal Instruments, but I find that to be less of a bad thing now than I thought it was going to be. The series is unique and something different from anything else that is out there for kids to read right now. It’s definitely worth giving a try.
