Hello Everyone :)
I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.
In the last couple of years, I've shared quite a few reviews on my blog from indie author Kristina Hall.
Her most recent release is the finale in her dystopian Christian fiction trilogy, and today I'm excited to share with you all what I ended up thinking about it.

My Review:
Place of Refuge is the explosive finale in Kristina Hall's Refuge series, and it's a suspenseful and emotional ride from beginning to end.
In the crazy times we find ourselves living in, it's almost scary to think about just how much of this dystopian novel can imitate what we're currently seeing come to fruition in present day society. As always with one of Kristina's novels, my favorite part was the emphasis on the One who is always our true refuge, and the depths required for us all to go to stand for Him, no matter the cost.
Over the span of reading this trilogy, I've really come to connect with many of the characters, and I found myself on the edge of my seat many times throughout reading this one, worried that one of these beloved characters was going to see their time on this earth come to an end. I'm not going to talk about whether or not these worries were validated, as I definitely don't want to spoil anything for anyone wanting to read it themself, but I will say that the author definitely shocked me with how everything turns out at the end, and I never saw a lot of the major plot twists coming.
The characters have come a long way in their faith journey, and their journey with each other over the course of this series, and I felt satisfied with all the answers given in this final installment.
Overall, I'd say this one ended up being my favorite of the series, and I read the majority of it over the course of a couple of days.
Final Rating: 4/5.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Christian thrillers, or those who like reading dystopian type of novels.
Thanks so much to Kristina Hall for allowing me to read and review this one!
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to give a positive review. This is my honest review, and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Enjoy the rest of your day :)
