Discovering a new author is always fun, and I have many thanks to Abbiee for my latest discovery: Her sister, K.A. Emmons!

I am so excited to share about her novel, The Blood Race! It was a really interesting read and I absolutely loved the opening.

A street race with some kind of “superpower” interference?

Count me in!

However, definitely one of my favorite things about this story (beside Ion, who is totally awesome) is the deep truths woven so beautifully throughout out. I can’t even explain how powerfully I was touched by certain ones that involved faith and trust.

Many times, I caught myself going back, rereading, and then stopping so I could mull over it my brain for a few minutes. Some of the things I read were still going around in my head even when I had been in bed for sometime.

One of those certain “things” that touched me was something Fin said below. It made me think of how God loved me even before I gave my heart to Christ and “cleaned up” my life.

“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure” (Ephesians 1:4-5).
