The sensibility of Allina Kovar, the heroine of The Killing Game Series, is a delicate balance of nurturing, creativity, and resilience. A suc - cessful author before meeting Ives Andrich, Allina may initially seem predictable, com - mon, and unremarkable as a character. To some readers, she appears to fit the mold of a perfect trophy girlfriend—and later, trophy wife. But Allina’s true depth lies beneath the sur - face, often overlooked by those unfamiliar with what The Bible says about being a good person and a good wife: “Wives, sub - mit to your own husbands, as to the Lord,” and “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:22, 25). These verses em - phasize respect, obedience, trust, and love—gifts to be given to a man who offers them first, and who places God above all else. Ives mirrors these biblical sentiments in The Killing Game when he gently tells Allina, “My parents taught me one precious lesson, and it wasn’t anything they said as much as what they did. The lesson was what love and trust truly are. First, they loved and trusted God completely. Second, they loved and trusted each other completely, and they pushed the nuisances of this world aside for each other. They realized children grow up and leave, friends come and go, and family members die. While they had each other, their main concern was for each other first, then their family, nothing and no one else—total commitment and unconditional love.” He smiled again at her. “That’s what I found with you. I had no one until I met you. I never let anyone affect me until you. Even that happened so naturally that I couldn’t help myself.” Hearing this from Ives, Allina knows she has found the right man—one who honors God and honors her. From early in their relation - ship, her goal becomes seeing to his needs and becoming his partner in life. In an age where self-interest often dominates, Allina’s selfless dedication is both uncommon and remarkable. Her character exemplifies a true partnership rooted in compassion, compro - mise, and faith. Despite the immense challenges brought on by Ives’ position in the FBI, Allina remains steadfast. Even when things go terribly wrong, her faith that God has a purpose for their union never falters. Allina understands that love is an action—not just a feeling or a word. This is especially evident when Vincent Luca, the villain of The Killing Game, wedges him - self between her and Ives. Though hesitant at first, Allina’s protective nature begins to blossom, transforming her into a force to be reckoned with. Ives acknowledges this strength, even commenting to his agents and the NYPD that “she did their jobs and took down one of the most wanted criminals and was almost killed in the process.” In the first book, Ives and Allina experience their share of ups and downs. Their dis - agreements and misunderstandings nearly drive them apart as each waits for a sign of repentance and forgiveness from the other. Yet, Allina holds fast to God’s word: “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). Allina’s commitment to God’s word may not be immediately evident in the first book, but as the series progresses, it becomes an un - deniable part of her character. She relies on God to fulfill His promises and leans on every word He provides in The Bible. Her unwaver - ing faith carries her through the many crises she faces, and with each trial, her love for God and for Ives grows stronger. How com - mon is that today?
