Book Review: Last Light
Last Light (Restoration #1) by Terri Blackstock
Goodreads Summary:
In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to the age before electricity, Deni Branning's career ambitions have vanished. She's not about to let her dream of marriage go as well.
But keeping it alive will require extraordinary measures. Yesterday's world is gone. All Deni and her family have left is each other and their neighbors. Their little community will either stand or fall together. But they're only beginning to realize it - and trust doesn't come easily.
Particularly when one of them is a killer.
Best-selling suspense author Terri Blackstock weaves a masterful what-if novel in which global catastrophe reveals the darkness in human hearts - and lights the way to restoration for a self-centered world.
My Review:
5/5 Stars
This is a reread I wanted to get to this year, and it was just as good as the first time. I've read almost all of Blackstock's series and this is the one I usually come back to. I love the way she incorporates the religious aspect, although I don't feel it is overbearing to the story. The way she writes about a crisis we can't image while also making the lives of those ones I can relate to.
One of the most common critiques of this book is that 4 kids in the family too whiny, but I personally think it would be weird if they weren't. They are teenagers in the 21st century and they just lost all technology.
The Restoration series contains 4 books as the Branning family struggles to survive in this global catastrophe, while they are surrounded by theft, murder, and deceit. A great book for anyone that loves both suspense and mystery along with Christian Fiction!
