Invitation by Billy Myers, Frank Peretti, Angela Hunt, Alton Gransky

From the minds of Bill Myers, Frank Peretti, Angela Hunt, and Alton Gansky, Invitation compiles the first four episodes of Harbingers, each following a different character.

BRENDA--the street-hustling tattoo artist who sees images of the future
THE PROFESSOR--the atheist ex-priest ruled by logic
ANDI--the professor's brilliant but geeky assistant who sees inexplicable patterns
TANK--the naïve, big-hearted jock with a surprising connection to a healing power

Brought together for the first time in "The Call," the four soon realize pockets of darkness are emerging throughout the world. Whether it involves a mysterious house, the unexplainable death of animals around the world, or an otherworldly little girl, each puzzle they solve brings them closer to the ultimate explanation of what's happening. But will they discover the truth in time?

This book! It was so great. I really enjoyed the format of this book, how each author wrote one episode told from the point of view of a different character. It kept is fresh, it kept my drawn in and I didn't want to stop reading. The characters are all so different and unique and it was great to have each one written by a different write. I really enjoy books like this that are suspenseful, mysterious and intriguing, yet also contain a bit of the truth. I cannot wait for the next cycle to come out because I have to know what all of this means.
