The Journey’s End is an action-packed Christian thriller novel that follows Brian, Craig, Tess, and Rachel as they embark on a life-changing journey. I felt all the characters had their own unique voice, quirks, and flaws, which added greater depth and believability to the story. Victoria Olasegha is a masterful story crafter, delivering an engaging and suspenseful narrative that is sure to keep you gripped from the very first page. The attention to detail is second to none, giving us a clear and vivid description of the world in which the novel is set. This story is an emotional ride for both the characters and the reader in the best way possible, allowing you to empathize and connect with how the characters are feeling. The story can be gritty in places, but the overall message is one of strength. I would not hesitate to recommend The Journey’s End to fans of thriller novels and multifaceted characters.

In The Journey's End by Victoria Olasegha, readers encounter a slew of young characters with different backgrounds confronted with the worse trial of their life. Brian is a privileged kid who has everything served to him on a silver platter. In fact, when we meet him, he is excited about the new small plane his father has given him. Craig has been his best friend, even if things haven’t always been smooth between the two of them. Craig is a carefree kind of person who takes life as it comes. Tess is a spirited young girl who does what she wants, how she wants, and wherever she wants; she is Craig’s new girlfriend. Rachel is intelligent and kind but within her calm demeanor throbs a questing soul. An exciting adventure to Brazil turns into a nightmare when these characters find themselves lost in a strange land with ever-changing landscapes and innumerable dangers. Can they make it back home?

A very imaginative tale of adventure, love, and faith with strong lessons about God, relationships, and our ultimate purpose. The kids have left loved ones behind for an adventure in Brazil and then as the days go by, Francis, Donna, Kevin, Sally, and others hear nothing about them. Their despair and anxiety are brilliantly written. The fear of never seeing the kids again draws them toward God in inscrutable ways. Victoria Olasegha does a wonderful job in capturing the emotions of the parents as they consider possibilities and what the disappearance of the teens could mean. There are many inspirational moments and insightful passages in this book. This is an engrossing story told in a voice that is both engaging and meditative, pulling the reader into a world filled with religious symbolism and exploring some of the finest sentiments of humanity. The Journey's End is well-paced, filled with drama, and a tension that builds up to a revelatory, exciting denouement. At the end of the story no character is anything close to what they were at the beginning, and so is the reader. It is suspenseful, inspiring, and littered with spiritual insights.
