The Returning Book #Review
Synopsis:
Twenty years have passed since Carrington and Remko Brant's baby, Elise, was kidnapped and they were forced to leave her captive in the Authority City. Though they fled with the Seers far from Authority reach, they've never given up hope of rescuing their daughter from the man who betrayed them. Now Authority President, he's ushered the city into a new era of "peace"--one where the Scientist Roth Reynard's Genesis Serum has eradicated all memory of emotion or rebellion.But the mysterious Aaron and his Seers are once again on the move, threatening the illusion the Authority has worked so hard to build. As the Seers send seven chosen warriors to rescue Elise and bring restoration to the Authority City, the lines are drawn for a final battle between light and darkness. The key to ultimate victory may rest within the strangely powerful girl who has felt forgotten but was never abandoned--a truth she'll need to wage war against the powerful forces of evil.

My Review:
I
received a free copy of this novel from Tyndale House Publishers in
exchange for my honest review.
The
Returning is book three and the final book in The Seer
series. This was an eagerly anticipated finale to a brilliantly
written series by debut author Rachelle Dekker. Usually, by the time
you've reached the final book in series, the story tends to slow
down. But The Returning kept
my interest right to the very end!
The
story begins 20 years in the future, with a greatly anticipated good
vs evil battle. I liked that they focused on Elise and we get to
watch her grow from victim to victor. I loved the message that the
story gives; that we as Christian are to always let our light shine
to those around us.
