Book: Mara The Unseen Battle (The Victory Series Book One)

Author: Blossom Turner

Genre: Christian Suspense

Release date: January 21, 2024

A mother’s love should be a given…

Growing up in1970s small-town Canada, Mara Howland strives to meet her mother’s impossible demands—yet the sting of failure always follows. Each punishment leaves another wound to hide, another cruelty to hush, until that dark summer evening. Now, she holds a secret she must bury…if she wants to survive.

But more is happening than meets the eye.

The mystery of the supernatural unfolds as Mara’s guardian angel and the sinister forces of evil battle for her well-being—and her soul. A place where rulers of the darkness prey on the innocent and unwary. Will Mara’s spirit be crushed by the malevolent powers that fuel her mother’s cruelty, or is there a loving God who has a plan for her life?

In this gripping first book of a three-part series, Mara’s life journey brings startling awareness of our daily spiritual battles. Step with Mara behind the veil of the visible world, into a realm where prayer is a weapon, faith is tested, and all must choose between hatred and revenge, or love and forgiveness.

Christian Suspense is a favorite genre of mine. I have also been a FAN of Blossom Turner for quite a few years. Mara The Unseen Battle by Blossom Turner is the latest in the Christian Suspense genre that I have read. It is Book 1 in The Victory Series. 

WOW, I am HOOKED on this series from the very beginning. The main Character in this book is Mara Howland and the setting is 1970's Small Town Canada. My heart was breaking for Mara as the story unfolds. Her own mother has put Mara through years of Physical Abuse, as her mother never really wanted Mara to be born. Mara knew she needed to be truthful with herself if she wanted to continue living. I really appreciate how the story takes a turn that is heartwarming for Mara. The Spiritual Warfare Battle and overcoming the hurt and abuse from her Mother was a huge step for Mara. The book is one of Forgiveness, Spiritual Battles, following God's plan and not our own. I am already excited and anxiously awaiting Book 2 in this series! I would say this is MUST Read for those who enjoy Christian Suspense! FANTASTIC BOOK!

More from Blossom

Have you ever felt like something, or someone is watching you? Have you ever experienced darkness in a fully lit room? Or wondered if a malevolent force was working against you?

We all love stories on angels and God’s love and protection, but we also have an enemy…a living, breathing adversary, who comes to steal, kill and destroy. Ephesians 6:12 says…For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (NKJV)

This story, Mara, The Unseen Battle… found me. My genre is historical romance. I was building a following, won some awards, and loved what I was doing. But as I finished up my last series the Holy Spirit made it very clear that Mara would be my next project. From my own experiences of childhood abuse, I added enough fiction to protect the not-so-innocent and created a story that reveals the unseen spirit world that preys on the innocent and vulnerable.

As sweet Mara suffers under an abusive mother, we discover evil forces are plotting her death. The odds are against her, yet she does not fight alone. In this first book of a three-book series Mara comes face-to-face with the evil behind her mother’s attacks and must choose whether to enter that darkness or turn toward the light. Her birth to death story unfolds in a unique, riveting, and page-turning experience that will alert you to events taking place in the unseen spirit world.

You will be entertained, (nothing wrong with that) but you will also come away with a greater appreciation for prayer, for Christ, and His work on the cross. You may even view the trials of life in a new encouraging way. The battle is real but the One by our side is victorious.
