Blood Covenant by Lisa Harris


All I can say is WOW! Well ... that's not all I can say or it would be a fairly boring review. But seriously, this book was fantastic. Perhaps one of the best I've read ... this year, for sure. Lisa Harris provides the perfect combination of adventure, thrills, romance, and Christ-centered fiction in Blood Covenant. Definitely a page-turner, I couldn't put it down for the three days it took me to finish it! I can't wait to read Blood Ransom, the first book in this incredible series. Great job, Lisa! Can't wait to read more!!!

I received a free copy of this book from Zondervan in exchange for my fair and honest review.

About the Book
Paige Ryan and Nick Gilbert are trapped in an overpopulated African refugee camp where an outbreak of measles erupts and renegade soldiers block their only way out. Desperate for vaccines, they must put their own lives in the hands of God as they fight for the safety of the refugees under their protection.

From the explosive first pages, Lisa Harris weaves a tale of heart-stopping suspense and adventure with her second book in the Mission Hope Series.

When fighting erupts between government forces and renegade Ghost Soldiers deep within the Republic of Dhambizao, thousands are forced to leave their homes. Dr. Paige Ryan, who works with Volunteers of Hope International, is sent to lead a team to set up a refugee transit site—where the immediate needs for shelter, water, sanitation, and food are critical. Nick Gilbert, a bush pilot for Compassion Air, joins the team to help fly supplies in and out of the area.

With the refugee camp already experiencing overcrowding, raids, and uprisings, a group of American mountain climbers is attacked by the Ghost Soldiers. Paige’s medical team responds immediately, rescuing survivors and taking them into the camp. When it’s discovered that one of the trekkers is carrying an infectious disease, the harrowing conditions of the camp are forgotten.

In desperate need of vaccines and the Ghost Soldiers blocking the only road out until their demands for amnesty are met, it won’t be long before the disease is out of control … and there is nowhere to run.
