Izzy Aldridge Reviews “The Forces Within” by Stacy Padula

Article by Izzy Aldridge—Plymouth, Massachusetts

The Forces Within (Montgomery Lake High #5) by Stacy Padula is the final book in the series. The Forces Within is a great book to end with because it fully ties in all aspects of the series. This final book is almost distinctive compared to the others because it takes a huge dive into supernatural realms and lots of mystery as well. Character Andy Rosetti has awoken from his month long coma where he experienced numerous things; like spiritual challenges as well as mental and physical difficulties. As Andy awakes, he finds himself to be very surprised as things are now that he is out of his coma and ready to get back into his normal life. Andy constantly comes to realization and he can’t help wondering about his dreams and their meaning during the coma. Many relationships and characters’ images are tested throughout this book, which leaves the reader curious to continue reading. Throughout his awakening, Andy realizes that his relationship with God has not been prioritized and that he needs to change it. Andy becomes more dedicated to God as he focuses on their relationship after recognizing and comprehending God’s secret messages that have been sent to him. Furthermore, Andy and his friends enter a hidden mansion that holds lots of mystery and truths. Read this book to find out what happens next! Many spiritual awakenings are presented throughout this book which guides me to recommend this book also to anyone looking to forward their relationship with God.
