Warrior #3
Enemies of the Cross
Allison La Crosse's picture perfect world quickly becomes more of a nightmare than the fairytale she'd been expecting when she married Brody.
With enemies leading and destiny in control, she embarks upon a journey of the soul where she unearths an underwater realm that is beyond believable...beyond fantastical...beyond comprehension.
Deep within this undiscovered world, Allison is forced to battle a new breed of adversaries. Ones willing to do whatever necessary to capture her -- dead or alive. While fighting for her life, she joins forces with an exceptional team of protectors. Because they are unconditionally loyal, she sees firsthand that they are prepared to sacrifice their lives in order to guard her existence and defend the purity of their world.
Love, friendships, and unforgivable actions have Allison wondering if going home will ever be an option even if home is the only place where she can have a life with Brody.

I can say with absolute certainty that Enemies of the Cross is my favorite book of The Warrior Series. Yes, I do like it more than Warriors of the Cross and Guardians of the Cross. Within it, I've ratcheted up the excitement to a point where the readers' nerves might truly fray and snap. There are unexpected surprises and unforeseen twists that will keep you glued to the book/e-book desperately begging for Dark Angels of the Cross spoilers.
The most intriguing aspect of Enemies of the Cross is the Underwater Realm. Within its territory, there are both villainous and friendly characters who are interesting enough to star in the remaining stories.
Without a doubt, Allison La Crosse and The Warrior Series are just now hitting their stride. Fans of the series should stay tuned for more with Dark Angels of the Cross. Its release is scheduled for spring of 2013.

Ok, you know that feeling of panic you have when you're reading along and realize there is no way that everything that needs to happen for resolution could possibly happen in the small number of pages you have left? Well I DO now. I love how Mrs. Graves delves much further into the realm of fantasy fiction in this latest book in the Cross series- had me wishing for more and looking forward to the next book with eager expectation.

Looking for a really great series of books guaranteed to leave you wanting to sleep with the light on, but written by an extremely talented Christian author? Then look no further than The Coming Trilogy Series by Greg Mitchell.
I got hooked on this trilogy after being a huge fan of such talented writers like Ted Dekker and Stephen King. You know the kinds of books that make you jump at noises while you're reading it, but it's so great you can't put it down?
This series is about the Bogeyman or as he is also known as The Strange Man. A presence so evil that he's been staking his claim in the small town of Greensboro since its introduction. That is where the legends and myths came from surrounding late night stories around the campfire, geared to scare you. Only this time, the Bogeyman is real and you're biggest downfall is believing he doesn't exist.
Picking up where the first book left off, Enemies of the Cross continues to struggle to understand what is happening to the small town of Greensboro. Now that a horrible murder has taken place and the town believes that the killer has been caught and is now awaiting his final trial for the death penalty, Pastor Jeff Weldon believes that his brother Dras is innocent. However he feels more than responsible. When Dras came to him that fateful night telling him of the Strange Man and the evil running the town, he didn't believe him. Now Jeff feels that he has to prove his brothers innocence.
Jeff's faith in God is about to be put to the final test as the evil surrounding the town realizes that he stands in the way. They aren't about to let their plans to control the town and bring about the Dark Hour be revealed by Jeff's persistent investigation. Now more than ever, the town believes that Jeff is letting his investigation to prove his brother's innocence cloud his responsibility to run the church and will stop at nothing to have him removed.
Meanwhile the Bogeyman's plans continue to grow darker by the hour as the North Woods surrounding the lake continue to consume all life that draws near and with that, the more powerful he will become especially if he can remove God from the equation.
I received Enemies of the Cross compliments of Greg Mitchell who was kind enough to send me a complimentary copy to review. Being such a huge fan of his first novel in the series, The Strange Man, when I saw that his next one was available in print, I knew I had to read it. Once again, I was not disappointed. Since this is a trilogy, the mystery will not be solved in this one, but will come to a climax in anticipation for the final book, Dark Hour, yet to be available. I LOVED this series and have to rate it a 5 out of 5 stars. Any book that can keep me glued to the pages, and reading it with the lights on, is a best seller for the suspense thriller genre in my opinion. That is what makes an excellent book.

I won a copy of this book on Goodreads first reads. I do not know the author. I was only asked to write a review in exchange for the book.
Total cliffhanger at the end. Nothing could have prepared me for that ending. It was very fast paced and I couldn't predict what was going to happen next. I just had to keep reading.
Allie's world leaves the mind spinning after almost every other page.
The reason I did not give the book 5 stars is because of the language. I believe your message can be portrayed without using a lot of cursing (especially the GD one). I can let some slide, but that's the one that just gets under my skin.
Other than that, it's an overall good series.

I liked the first 2 books but then I re-read them before I read the 3rd book. I didn't like the 2nd book as much when I read it again. There were a lot of grammatical errors and overuse of phrases like: "I know it as much as I know my name", in all the books. And the main character drove me crazy. By the 3rd book I couldn't stand her.
SPOILER:
She was a lil hoochie mama that kissed all these different men and made oaths at the drop of a hat that she knew nothing about. The 3rd book definitely took a weird turn with adding another world. The series has been stretched out and I discovered it is not over! I wish this one wouldn't have ended so badly. Arg!
