Deadly Ruse: A World War II Mystery - Emotionally gripping and clever

Deadly Ruse: A World War II Mystery (Deadly Series) by Kate Parker pulled me in from the first chapter and never let go.

Poetry that touches the heart of spiritual struggle

A Cry for Mercy: Escape from the Unseen Dungeons by Peter Okonkwo is written from the perspective of a narrator struggling under spiritual bondage.
