A Windy Ridge Legal Thriller #1

High-powered attorney Olivia Murray faces the biggest test of her career when she is assigned to represent Astral Tech, a New Age tech company, in a lawsuit filed by its biggest competitor. While Olivia is accustomed to hard fights in the courtroom, she arrives in Windy Ridge and discovers there is much more to this case than the legal claims—forces of darkness are at work.

Windy Ridge quickly turns from quiet Chicago suburb to spiritual battleground, and Olivia must rely on her faith to defend against legal and spiritual attacks. Although they are enemies in the courtroom, Olivia finds a friend and unlikely ally in opposing counsel, Grant Baxter. Once a skeptic about faith, he ultimately comes to her aid when she needs it most.

The battle between evil forces heats up in and out of the courtroom, pushing Olivia to the breaking point. Will she be able to help good triumph over evil, or will the town of Windy Ridge be torn apart?

Olivia Murray has a huge task to undertake – representing a New Age company that's being sued by a rival. Sounds routine, but much more is going on than first meets the eye. A battle rages. A battle between good and evil, angels and demons, is being waged and Olivia is right in the middle of it all.

I was extremely intrigued by the idea of this book. I wondered how combining a legal thriller with spiritual warfare would turn out. Well, it turned out to be an awesome, heart-pounding, unputdownable thrill ride. There was seriously no good place to stop and I'd often find myself reading at a feverish pace to find out what happened next.

It was really interesting learning about the legal side of things but the addition of the spiritual warfare element really kicked things up a notch, making this a must read. I highly recommend this book and am very eager to start the next one!

I need to preface this review with a little codicil. I do love legal mysteries, but I don't love occult books. I realize they're all the rage, but they make me uneasy, even when they're Christ-oriented, which this one is. This codicil's the only reason I'm giving it a four-star rating instead of five. Given that, the writing is good, the tension constant, and Rachel Dylan has done herself proud. This is Book 1 in the Windy Ridge series.

So anyway, here we have a young but proficient defense lawyer, Olivia Murray, who has been sent to the Windy Ridge suburb of Chicago to defend one New Age tech company against another. The suit began when Nina Marie Crane of Astral Tech is accused by her former boyfriend, Layton Olito (CEO of Optimism Company), of stealing a computer app. It seems both companies are interested in snagging the electronic generation into their own New Age fold via this app.

Olivia, a conservative Christian, has doubts about handing anything New Age, but she works for a prominent law office in DC, and when her boss says jump on it, there's really not much choice.

The plaintiff's attorney, Grant Baxter, is also a young dynamo, but fairly recently began his own firm with just a minimal crew. He just thinks all the New Age stuff is wacky, but even wacky companies can hire him if they have the money.

But then odd things begin to happen to both Olivia and Grant. Things that have nothing to do with law.

It appears both attorneys will be fighting more than just a legal battle.

You might want a Bible in one hand while this book is in the other.

Wow! This was my first novel by this author but certainly will not be my last. I can't wait to begin the next installment! Trials & Tribulations a legal thriller grabbed me early with the opening. Further it was hard to put down as I could barely wait to see what occurred next. The storyline was believable, delivery of s beautiful message without being preachy. One of the best stories in spiritual warfare that I have read in awhile. If you enjoy a fast paced legal thriller filled with suspense then don't delay with Rachel Dylan. This story will continue to be in your thoughts, in a good way, long after reading the last page. Remember that name because you are going to see it a lot as she continues on to everyone's best seller list!

The author did a good job of developing characters. Olivia and Grant were real life and like-able. The portrayal of Olivia’s faith was well done and Grant’s questioning equally on target. The premise of the opposing evil corporations was weak. Stacey’s experience in her apartment seemed to be a more accurate expression of an encounter with evil. I noticed too many grammatical errors for a finished product.

I have been seeing Rachel Dylan's books on various Facebook groups. I'm glad I finally decided to try one. Trials and Tribulation is an engrossing story that involves a legal battle between two rival New Age groups. But by accepting the case opposing attorneys Grant and Olivia find themselves involved in a far more serious battle, one that could cost them their souls.
Ms. Dylan has done a wonderful job of creating strong, believable characters along with a storyline that compels one to drop everything and read. It also made me focus on my own relationship with my L-rd, Jesus Christ. As Grant and Olivia grew in their faith, I found myself praying more and also getting into the Word. I recommend this book to people who wish to learn more about Spiritual Warfare in a novel as opposed to a textbook.

A wonderful story full of suspense, spiritual warfare, hope, and romance. If you like Frank Peretti books, you will love this story full of spiritual warfare as a battle wages between good and evil in Windy Ridge. Two companies wage a legal and spiritual battle over an alleged theft of a New Age App. Just a reminder of the spiritual battle that goes on all around us unseen. A great start to this series by a wonderful author, Rachel Dylan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eventhough it's fiction, it shows how we can get wrapped up in the physical world and miss what is going on in the spirit.

Three stars because I like it, but it's not absolutely fantastic. The characters are believable and interesting, the story kept me interested; but I gave it one less star because you have to read the second book to continue the story. Is that worth one less star? I guess so. If you want to read just one book, don't buy this one.
Good news, though. This is an excellent Christian fiction book. I highly recommend it (and the second one). It keeps your interest, the story is very good in how the main character is a strong Christian and how spiritual warfare is so prevalent but can be missed so easily. We need to always pray to be aware of the spiritual side of our lives and ask the Lord to keep our eyes open. It's so easy to get wrapped up in the physical and there were characters in this book that took great advantage of that.
