About the book:

Title: Thirst of Steel (Tox Files #3)
Author: Ronie Kendig
Publisher: Bethany House
Genre: Christian Fiction, Suspense, Thriller.

Dismantled centuries ago, the sword of Goliath is still rumored to thirst for its enemies' blood. Cole "Tox" Russell only wants to begin his life with Haven Cortes, but he must first complete a final mission: retrieve that sword and destroy the deadly Arrow & Flame Order.
The AFO, however, is determined to claim the sword. Wielding their father's life over Tzivia and Ram Khalon, they threaten to expose Ram's long-held and dangerous secret while demanding Tzivia locate the sword. With the Wraith team slowly being torn apart, things only worsen when Mercy Maddux, a new operative, emerges with the stunning news that the sword is tied to both Ram's secret and a string of unsolved serial murders.
Tox, Ram, and the others are forced to set aside fear and anger to focus only on the enemy. No matter the cost, Wraith must stop or take the enemy down with them.

My Thoughts:

I finished this UH-MAZING book yesterday and I still can't think straight. My emotions have been completely wracked and I don't know how or when I will recover from this book.

Ms. Kendig calls her books Rapid Fire Fiction and that is exactly what she delivers. Her latest, and final book of The Tox Files is an emotion packed thrill ride, filled with suspense, action, and romance. 

As I read this book I kept wondering where and how Ms. Kendig came up with all she put in this book. Her story creativity and character development is some if not the best I've read all year. Her ability to keep a reader on the edge of their seat, thinking they've figured it out and then surprises the daylights out of them is the qualities of a brilliant author, which in my opinion Ronie Kendig is.

My Bottom Line:

I am very sad to see the Tox Files end. Thirst of Steel finishes the series off perfectly. The pacing of the story is perfect. I found myself holding my breath, crying, cheering, and wanting to throw the book across the room. The spiritual truths that were braided into the story had me doing some real soul searching. I love when books touch my heart and soul, and this one definitely did.
I highly recommend it!
