Relentless (Dominion Trilogy #1)

Grant Borrows has been "shifted" - someone else is in his body. Now starts the desperate chase of finding the truth about who he is, where his new powers come from, and who is behind all the strange events happening, controlling him and the rest of the world.

VERY exciting book! This book sucked me in and I found myself unable to stop, even though for most of the book I wasn't really sure what was going on. :) The plot is very interesting, but confusing and frustrating as well, and I admit I cheered for myself when I figured out a piece of the plot before the characters did. I loved that it was able to carry an exciting plot without language issues, although the violence is just a bit graphic. It ended with a huge cliffhanger and now I show more can't wait to read the rest of the Dominion Trilogy! show less

An intriguing supernatural twist and non-stop action had me gobbling up this thriller like it was chocolate candy. Grant Borrows gets the shock of his life when he glances across the street and sees--himself! It seems he has been 'shifted'--someone else is wearing his face while he is in a new body entirely unfamiliar to him. As Grant tries to discover what has happened to him he also receives a warning that his life is in danger. And indeed he seems to have pursuers who are trying to kill him, as well as strange new abilities that enable him to protect himself. At the bottom of it all is an ancient prophecy that has him at the center of a potentially earth shattering game of danger and wits.
The fast paced action combined with the show more conspiracy that the main character has to unravel had me not wanting to put this one down for a second. Fans of Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti have a new Christian supernatural thriller author to add to their lists! show less

Principle character stumbles into an alternative life situation where he has a destiny driven by an unknown, underground secret society. This book describes his stumbling attempts to understand what has happened to him, identify acting characters, determine whether acting characters are supportive or destructive entities and find purpose in his new existence. This is the first of a series of (at least) three books. The plot actions and characters are consuming and makes turning pages compelling. I have all three books, trying to complete the last one now!

Totally better than expected. Still have reservations about the premise of the story. The convenience fairy reared it's ugly head, as did the "this is an immutable fact that makes no sense" fairy. Trying to decide if I want to read the other two in the trilogy.

I enjoyed the ideas and basic plot of the book, but had to look at the book again to remember what I was reviewing. The storytelling didn't grab ahold of me and keep me interested after I put it down. A good story, just not a memorable one.

I picked up all 3 together and read them back to back. Even though this is a Christian publisher, the message is very subtle and would be a good read to recommend to non-Christian friends who like scifi & books with supernatural elements. If you like your books with a fast pace, reasonable character development, and a semi-believable plot about good vs evil, then this is a series for you.

There's nothing I like more than a well written suspenseful trilogy. However, I did not get that with this series. The plot was interesting- a man wakes up one day to find that he's in a different body, and sees his own body walking down the street and randomly runs into a barefoot girl that's giving him little clues along the way- but the writing left something to be desired. I did pick up the second book in this series- Fearless, and was so disappointed that I couldn't finish (something I hate to do). Overall, Id recommend skipping this.
