Covenant by Brandon Massey is a suspense, thriller, eye-opener, and shocker all rolled into one great big novel that will have the leaders of today's church looking at Massey from an awkward angle. The character development were carefully constructed and the story is mesmerizing and believable. Brandon Massey brought out some reals issues to take a look at. I like how Massey told a story through passages. One wouldn't suspect he could go from frightening you to enlightening you with how he delivered the story. Brandon Massesy is serious in telling a story and at the same time converging messages that he actually manages to deliver in keeping the reader enthralled with the plot as well as seat hopping, page turning, mouth opening, blood pumping, mesmerizing portrayal. Some of the chapters will make your blood pressure rise but the final chapter will lower it to where it suppose to be. Pay close attention because this book has so much drama and the way Massey tell the story and reflecting on the goings on of today if your not careful you could miss out on the intertwined message entirely.
Mr. Brandon Massey, I think it was splendid how you told the story and how you captivated and keep the reader in awe but at the same time they will also reflect on a very certain issue of today. You have just set the pace for other authors of your genre to try to keep up and step out of the box and try to enlighten, twist, and entertain your readers at the same time like you did in Covenant. Wonderfully created and 5 masterminded stars.
Massey Readers: 1:17 Thy shall now read and enjoy. ”
