Book: The Journey’s End

Author: Victoria Olasegha

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

• 

The Journey’s End is a Christian thriller written by the author Victoria Olasegha. This is a book that perfectly fits my taste as I love adventures, going on trip and self-discovery. Story features four main characters: Brian, Rachel, Craig and Tess. Brian is a rich kid who wanted to be pilot since he was five. When he grew up, his father gifted him a plane. Brian’s girlfriend Rachel often gets controlled by her mother but Rachel has different expectations for herself from life. Brian and Craig has been friends since they were five. Craig’s recent girlfriend is Tess.

All 4 of them went on a trip to Brazil in Brian’s plane. But on the way, the fuel level reduced and their plane crashed in the middle of forest. What I loved the best about this story is that each character have a different personality and it was amazing to know four different characters. This story really refreshed my mind. It’s an eye opener and inspiring story. The story feels so believable and somewhat it reminded me of the movie Cast Away. Cover photo of the book could have been more creative. Storyline is so intriguing that one couldn’t keep this book aside without finishing it. This book is perfect for weekend binge reading. Go ahead with it.

But Mana wasn’t ready to accept that Blaise could be anything other than Siren. Is Simon correct? Too confused with her Awakening, what gonna happen further with Blaise?
