For instance, throughout the novels of the New Rulebook series, the lead protagonists run from a mysterious evil force known as the New Rulebook. The New Rulebook is something of a modern TRON gone rogue. Another good example would be something akin to Anakin Skywalker quest to control the universe gone to the dogs. With a good idea going bad when it falls into an evil man’s hands, the protagonists in the narratives have to fight to survive in an increasingly hostile world. However, the lead characters of the novels have something in their favor: their loyalty to each other and their faith in God, which always sees them through any kind of trouble. Most of the novels end in a cliffhanger showcasing the victory of the protagonist and setting the stage the story of the next novel in the series.

She calls police officer Robert who also happens to be a lifelong friend and the only person she believes can help in her predicament. What follow is a high tension drama as the two try to track down while at the same time outrun the persons that set up Ruby. Just who is behind the suspicious murder and why did they choose Ruby as their fall girl? She stands to lose everything from a technology that had promised to solve all problems. In all the suspense and drama, Ohagwu weaves a strong case for faith particularly in Jesus, as a source of strength to face all challenges in life. She also mixes in hints of romance between Robert and Ruby and the tension of friendship that is stretched to breaking point. Could Ruby get beyond friendship and forge a romantic relationship, or will she hold back in fear and lose Robert’s love?
“Snowy Peaks” is the exciting and uplifting second novel of “The New Rulebook” series of novels by Joy Ohagwu. It is an excellent novel that tells of the continuing fight between good and evil. The author packs in the action right from the first page to the last with romance galore, fights, makeups, making of new friends and running away from the bad guys. The novel is set in Western Maryland, in a small town called Snowy Peaks, that has been taken over by evil forces led by one evil man that seems to be invincible. The only person that could perhaps match him is Ruby who is called into the town. But given that the man has had the time to entrench himself into the town and has been practicing his darks arts for months, will she be able to outfox and stop him in his tracks? Ohagwu expertly weaves in the dark forces, which she counters with spiritual forces from above as the characters fall back on their faith to get them out of trouble.
