Sadly couldn't find it on my kindle as all , and I looked under the title as well as the authors name

this was a fun historical series, the characters were great and I was hooked from the beginning to the end. It left me wanting more and I enjoyed the way the author writes.

Goodreads synopsis:
Frtiz Braun longs to honor the memory of his dead parents and be the best Aryan possible, but his grandfather spouting old-world religion, a crime in Nazi Germany, thwarts his path to success. His grandfather is murdered by SS Officers for refusing to surrender his copy of a special book, catapulting Fritz into a biblical world and anointing him as God’s Truth Keeper. He is charged with protecting The Book he once resented and sharing God’s word with his people in a difficult time. A job he feels unworthy to accept. Protecting God’s word proves to be an insurmountable task when the Gestapo discover The Book, and Fritz is forced to choose between saving the only family and friends he has left or saving The Book from Nazi fire.

This is the first book in the Fated War series by C.T. Knight.

I have to admit I had a hard time getting into this book. I think the theme of the Nazis just was a bit too off-putting to me and I kept setting the book aside. I wish I had known that the book would open up to a great measure by 15-16% in and I would not have waited so long to finish it.

This book will really appeal to anyone who is into the Bible and wanting an almost Christian-themed title. I am not sure it was meant to be that way, but that was the feeling the book gave me. The story thrust this young kid into an important role that he wasn’t completely ready for. The book everyone was searching for seemed to have no writing in it. But, if you were the Truth Keeper, the one to read and relay the information, the book was magical and filled with volumes.

The book kept pulling Fritz into its pages and reliving the live of David from the Bible. You get to see David from a whole new perspective in this. David seems almost real, alive. It makes you appreciate the role of the Truth Keeper in this time period.

I think I am going to recommend this book to my pastor. Even though this book feels like YA or Middle Grade story, it will appeal to any age.

Great story. Don’t wait to read this or be afraid to continue. This book was worth the wait.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.

This book was received as an ARC from Author Collective 20 in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is the first book I read about a fictional Nazi Germany and did not feel scared and sorry. This book made a frightening topic very exciting and breathtaking. The conflict and dilemma Fritz had to go through protecting none other than a book that he was keeping from the enemy even if it meant risking his life and the lives of his family. I was so excited throughout this book that my eyes almost popped out. This book even though it is a Historical Fiction novel, my teen book club would love this book and I can't wait to share this with them.

We will consider adding this title to our YFiction/Historical Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I loved this story and couldn't put it down. In fact, I had to force myself to stop one night so I could get some sleep, lol! This was a great blend of historical fiction and fantasy. The main character, Fritz, finds out he is The Truth Keeper, one who has a divine connection with "The Book", which represents God's word. There is the struggle between good and evil, and the message of hope during a dark time. The author did a great job of keeping you guessing about the nature of Frederick and Ernst, and I liked that there is quite a bit of realism to the "magical" part. I just finished reading The Book Thief, so this was particularly interesting to read since it covered the same time period, and both books focused more on the Germans and what they did (or did not do) as those in power abused the Jews and other "lessers". I hope this author writes other books for this series, but may check out some of her other books in the meantime.

Thanks to NetGalley, Ciara Knight, and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a quick and easy read.
I very much enjoyed The Truth Keeper and I do very much recommend it .
