Just finished the Sainted by Michael Medico and found it to be quite different than anything I've read in a very long time. The book was very suspenseful, and had me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to the next installment in the Chris Pella series.

I was flying to my condo in Jupiter Florida with my fiancé. As soon as the plane took off she opened a book and started to read. Usually when we travel she would bring something to read but never for the entire flight. It was like she was in a trance. She kept reading until the flight attendant asked everyone to please put everything away and put the trays in an upright position for landing. When we arrived at the condo we had barely unpacked when she sat down on the balcony with a glass of wine and continued to read this book. I finally said to her, after all the time we've been together and all the trips we've taken I never saw you so engrossed in a book. I asked, what are you reading? She said, Evil Awaits, it's the first book of the Sainted Trilogy, would you like to read it when I finish it? I said why not. I have never been a fan of the supernatural or suspense thrillers but the minute I started reading Evil Awaits I couldn't put it down. It is interesting, entertaining and in some cases enlightening. The characters seem so real and interesting. They seem like people who work with you or live next-door to you. Evil awaits sets the bar high for other similar type books. As for me, I'm looking forward to reading the next two books in the Sainted trilogy.

From the very first page of "Evil Awaits" I was completely captivated. I typically read in order to fall asleep, but this storyline kept me awake until well past my bedtime. I enjoyed the love story between Chris and Beth, the fascinating religious narrative, and the suspenseful drama that builds throughout the plot. It's a fast-paced, enjoyable story with a thriller ending. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting and entertaining read.

I thought after reading Evil Awaits that Revelations could not compare to the first book, boy was I wrong. I have been a fan of Dan Brown's novel but I have to say that I find that Michael Medico books have me up till mid-morning turning the pages faster than the sun can come up. It would not surprise me one bit that these books will become a major motion picture in the very near future. SAS

I read "Evil Awaits" and found it magnetic in its approach of giving dialog to the Sainted with a timeline that brought the moral values of these patron saints to modern-day application. The storyline brings us all back to the basics of life--evil versus good--an excellent read.

Intriguing thriller that captures all emotions, From compassion, loyalty, fear, family, humor, spirituality to sadness. Kept my interest was from page one to the end.
