Deep in the heart of Africa, lives are about to change forever.
Natalie Sinclair is working to eradicate the diseases decimating whole villages in the Republic of Dhambizao when she meets Dr. Chad Talcott, a surgeon on a sabbatical from a lucrative medical practice now volunteering at a small clinic. Meanwhile, things are unraveling in Dhambizao. Joseph Komboli returns to his village to discover rebel soldiers abducting his family and friends. Those who were too old or weak to work lie motionless on the African soil. When Chad and Natalie decide to help Joseph expose this modern-day slave trade--and a high-ranking political figure involved in it--they find themselves running for their lives. Where is God in the chaos? Will Chad, Natalie, and Joseph win their race against time? Romance and adventure drive this powerful thriller about the modern-day slave trade and those who dare challenge it.

Blood Ransom Mission Hope Series Book 1 edition by Lisa Harris Religion Spirituality eBooks
In the Republic of Dhambizao there have been rumors of Ghost Soldiers raiding villages and all the people simply disappearing, but young Joseph Komboli has seen it with his own eyes as he watches his family attacked. Desiring to find his father before he's killed, he seeks the help of Natalie Sinclair, an American woman working for disease control, but she has no idea of the web of danger that she is about to get tangled in.I liked the book, but I'm sorry to say I just didn't love it. The suspense was there, although more so toward the latter half of the book. I found the story somewhat difficult to get into, though. It could be that I didn't care very much for the characters, as they didn't have much depth to me.
I'd say my biggest struggle with the book was with the portrayal of the characters. I know for sure that Natalie and Chad were Americans, but I'm not certain who else was American. Since the story was set in Africa I had to assume that all the other characters were African, but they seemed very American in all the dialog. I felt like there should've been a better distinction made in the storytelling.
I will say that I appreciate Lisa Harris as a Christian writer who writes a "clean" romance. Some Christian authors just go a bit over the top for me.
I wish to thank Zondervan for providing me with a free copy of the book for review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions expressed here are my own.

Blood Ransom Mission Hope Series Book 1 edition by Lisa Harris Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Heart pounding hold your breath suspense. It was so difficult to find a place to put it down to get some sleep or chores done. Good clean read - no profanity or embarrassing sexual situations
They say it's just story that ghost soldiers go into African villages, kill the weak and enslave the rest to work in the mines. There's no proof, until now. Joseph has the only proof and quickly finds Natalie, a medical consultant and Chad, a volunteer doctor from the United States. Together they do whatever they have to get the proof to the US embassy while circumventing the high-ranking political figures who will do whatever it takes to stop them.
I like the characters and the story. It had thrills, adventure and danger, but it lost something in that things seem to fall together a little too easily.
The descriptions in this book are vivid, the characters are endearing, and the suspense is addictive. But the best thing about this story is the truth behind it. I applaud the author for taking such an honest and bold stance against human trafficking.
I very much enjoyed this book. Ghost soldiers are supposed to be a myth but Joseph gets evidence that they are real and that an important figure is involved in the slave trade that has demolished his village. Natalie and Chad are working to make Dhambizao a better place for the people who live there. They are pulled in to a race against time when Joseph comes to Natalie for help...
I like that the characters in this book are realistic. They react like a normal person would and not like a 'perfect' person. Joseph is the character I was most drawn to because he is so brave for his age. All the characters are very relateable though! I enjoyed the twists and turns that kept me guessing the whole way through and the light romance was an added bonus. I also love that the author shows through the book how God uses us to do His will.
I rate this book 4/5. Good start to a series I intend to read the rest of!
Thank you to Zondervan for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.
In the past, throughout history--even into the latter part of the 19th century, human trafficking was often viewed as acceptable and legal. Now, thankfully, the majority of the world finds it morally wrong. Even so, it still happens, in some places in a wide-spread manner, but this moral tragedy is seldom spotlighted upon. If anything, this work of fiction made me realize that, yes, humans are still being exploited for labor, sex, and for who knows what else, against their will. Disturbing, really. It's not something I really thought about much before.
Ms Harris's story was suspenseful and even frightening at times. I wasn't exactly surprised by the "who done it" revelation, but I wasn't disappointed either.
As a novel from a Christian publisher, I didn't find the book to be too "preachy" as far as religion was involved. I thought the mention of God was appropriate as to the faith level of the individual characters involved in the story.
I recommend this book, but the prospective purchaser of the book should take into consideration that the the book IS published by a Christian publisher if they are easily offended by the mention and promotion of the Christian faith.
I enjoyed reading both this book and the following one... we tend to become wrapped up in our 'comfortable' lives and forget that not everyone enjoys the freedoms we so often take for granted; the safety, the clean, running water, the electricity... the ability to have almost instant contact with our loved ones... several times during these books I found myself thanking God for my blessings; and the simple things in life that are easily overlooked.
