Just no….❌

The things that made me toss the book after page 58 is number one “The African American children” and the “tears in their dark eyes” yikes… Deni’s Dad commenting on her looks every second but his own wife Kay doesn’t get the same admiration…super weird Taking God’s name in vain when a character said “oh my gosh casually” not ok Mention of someone cursing at the ATM. Kind of unnecessary to throw in there. Deni being an independent woman, having an internship, judged mercilessly by her father for what she wears…I just had enough. I’m gonna have to look elsewhere for fiction. I’ll never read her books again.

Scared Me

I have read most of Blackstock's books and have enjoyed them a great deal. I was very excited when this one came out and started reading it right away. Although the murder mystery part was not as captivating as some of her other novels, I was totally drawn into the Brannings "new" world. It scared me at times just thinking about what could happen and at other times I wondered if that's not what we need to have happen. I loved the book and can't wait for the next one to come out.

Another great Blackstock series launched with "Last Light"

Those who have read any of Terri Blackstock's more than two dozen books can attest to the undeniable fact that she is truly an extraordinary writer. Her suspenseful novels meet or exceed the best of this genre; while remaining true to her deeply held Christian faith (her books are always '...lovingly dedicated to the Nazarene'). "LAST LIGHT," the first of four books planned for her current 'Restoration' series, sets an even higher standard, with her challenging theme of our planet being stripped of its electricity, and other forms of power which most of us take for granted. After reading "LAST LIGHT," the only disappointment is having to wait for the remaining books in what promises to be yet another great series! --RON HOWE (a.k.a. Toby Martin II).

How long could you survive?

Anyone who isn't blown away by this book is just plain bonkers. I have read everything Terri Blackstock has ever written and this just tops them all. The storyline really hits home in today's terror/natural disaster filled world. I read this late into the night and then dreamt about it...it's that good. Also, guys will like it because of its distinct lack of a mushy romance (something I hope she picks up later in the series). A previous reviewer mentioned the 9/11 reference like it was a bad thing. PLEASE!! That is the FIRST thing we would all be thinking of if it looked like terrorists had struck America again. The reference was just plain realistic. In fact, this whole BOOK is frighteningly realistic. It will leave you with the nearly uncontrolable urge to go out and stockpile guns, bicycles, and canned foods. Do yourself a favor and dive into this gem right away.

Real-to-Life Fiction

If you remember Hurricane Katrina, then you will want to read "Last Light"! Terri Blackstock let her mind wander in late 2004 thinking of the "what ifs" if a major catastrophe were to strike America, only to find herself and her family thrust into that very reality on August 29th 2005 in her home state of Mississippi, along with their neighbors in Louisiana and Alabama. Her all-to-real fictional depiction of devastation will have you thinking what would you do if ever confronted with such a crisis in your community. In addition, as a mystery writer, Terri keeps you turning the pages as you wonder who is responsible for the needless deaths occurring under such horrific circumstances and why. "Last Light" is superb and definitely worth your time to read. Kudos to Terri Blackstock for a job well done!
