This was a truly surprising read, and I don't know how to review it because I don't want to give much away. This is the first book I've read by J.A. Huss, and the whole writing style and plot build-up were just so different from anything else I've read, and in a great way.

Firstly, I have to mention that the narrators, CJ Mission and Jill Redfield, have done a splendid job with this, and I loved how they portrayed all these characters, which enhanced the experience tenfold.

This is book one in the Sacred Trinity series and perfectly sets the premise for the series, giving us a feel of these towns, a little backstory about them and how they work together, the people of these towns, while also building up an atmosphere of suspense around it all, giving us breadcrumbs and leaving us with a lot of questions that leave you needing to know more, which will gradually unfold in the next books.

Disciple runs a side-show tent revival. Revenant caters to the people's need for indulging in sin, complete with dive bars and biker clubs. Bishop gives people the sense of a simple, traditional setting with its colonial lifestyle. The three towns together form the Sacred Trinity that works like a well-oiled machine, with every person playing their role to bring in dollars.

Second-chance romances are usually a hit or miss for me, but this was a huge hit, and the whole situation was dealt with in such a refreshing way. I LOVE Lowyn, and she is truly amazing throughout the entire book. She was open about her feelings right from the start and didn't hold back any punches when it came to confronting and putting Collin in his place. She was always true to herself without trying to downplay or deny what she felt for Collin, but at the same time she didn't let Collin off the hook easily for what he did by making her thoughts on it very clear.

The situation that changed Collin and Lowyn's lives forever and led to Collin leaving Disciple was understandable, and you can empathize with how it affected both of them. Returning to Disciple was not something Collin wanted to do given all that he had desperately tried to leave behind when he'd left town 12 years ago. But now that he is back and slowly getting into the groove of The Revival (although reluctantly) and spending time with Lowyn, it feels like no time has passed and she is still the only person he wants.

What I loved is that they had a very open and honest conversation from the start, and they addressed the past and their feelings about it and where they would go from there. Their relationship felt effortless, and they were both mature about the whole situation.

As the story goes by, you start questioning where this is all leading to, and slowly you start getting the sense that there is more to things than meets the eye. Everyone in town has secrets of their own, and you don't know who knows what and what these hints were leading to until the end. The plot buildup was done really well, again as this was the first book in the series and it was vital to set a good scene and have a good world-building to develop the story going forward.

The side characters were just as intriguing and made you feel like wanting to know more about them because everyone has a role to play in these towns. This was such an exhilarating read, and I laughed out loud in many situations with all that was going on. The whole setup of the revival was described so well, and all the people playing their parts made me want to be physically present to witness it all.

I can't wait to read the next book and know more about Amon and Rosie and what part they play in everything and what other things are going to be revealed.
