Shelter of the Most High is written by Connilyn Cossette. It is a Biblical fiction book and also has some history in the book. It is the second book in the series Cities of Refuge. The second book takes off where the first ended but adds some new characters Sofea and Prezi. Sofea and Prezi are on the sea on the Island of Sicily and their boat is taken over by marauders. Prezi is handicapped and the cousin of Sofea. They end up in a foreign land and lose everything. They meet Eithan who has been living with Moriyah his adoptive mother in the city of refuge. Eithan is attracted to Sofea. The city of refuge is supposed to protect people who have innocently hurt , killed someone from others who would hurt them. Eithan and Moriyah have been living in Kadesh, city of refuge for 11 years and have suffered post traumatic stress. Eithan has wanted to learn how to fight with Derek, his step father, but for years Derek does not want him to venture out of the city of refuge. He fears that his brother will kill him over a dispute in which his sons were killed. During the story Sofea and Prezi get taken and captured. They became part of a murder plot. Eithan does everything possible to rescue Prezi and Sofea to safety. It proves to be challenging. The story is a reminder that God is our refuge and wants to protect us and those in the city of refuge from harm. It paints the Biblical history of the times Eithan , Sofea, Prezi lived. It is well written and helps the reader understand Biblical history. What will become of Sofea and Eithan's relationship? What will happen with Prezi and Sofea? Will they get rescued to safety. The book is well written and I would highly recommend it. It was given to me by the publisher and netgalley to read and review. I appreciate this opportunity and thank netgalley and the publisher very much. I look forward to the third book coming out in the series.
