An Avid ReaderAge: 18-24Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Still one of my favorite booksDecember 3, 2013An Avid ReaderAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5The Restoration Series, of which Last Light is the first book, has always been my favorite series by Terri Blackstock. She is a masterful author and this series of four books is pure gold. So I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review Last Light.
Doug Branning and his daughter Deni land at the Birmingham, Alabama airport minutes before planes begin falling from the sky. Everything happens at the same moment. All the cars are dead. The electricity is out. Cell phones, radios, even watches don't work. At first they think it is just the Birmingham area. But after walking the long miles home and finding their neighborhood of Crockett in the same condition, they begin to suspect that this is something much bigger than a local fluke. And when in the days that follow someone makes it all the way from the east coast with news that conditions are the same there, the truth starts sinking in. Nothing is going to be changing anytime soon.
The big changes in the lives of the Branning family begins to change their ideas of what is important. To Deni, it is somehow getting to Washington D.C. to be with her fiance. To her parents, it brings into clear focus how little value they have placed on family and God and how much they need to change that. And in the midst of it all, a killer is loose in Crockett. Neighbor begins to suspect neighbor and relationships are tested.
Terri Blackstock brings out deeper themes in her books than I can ever hope to summarize in a review. So I encourage you to read Last Light and any other book she has written that you can get your hands on. -

Janet PEl Cajon, CA5 Stars Out Of 5Great readDecember 2, 2013Janet PEl Cajon, CAQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Last Light is a novel by New York Times best-selling suspense author Terri Blackstock. From the back cover: The city of Birmingham, Alabama, is experiencing a massive blackout. Planes suddenly lose power and crash to the earth. Cars stall in the middle of the street and won't restart. Cell phones and the internet are dead. All communications are cut off. Is it a terrorist attack....or something far worse?
My thoughts: When I started reading the book, it sounded just like the tv show Revolution because of the same scenario - power goes out worldwide and people need to adapt to survive. What surprised me is that Ms. Blackstock actually wrote this novel years before the tv show! In her novel, the Branning family members need to decide whether or not to hoard their possessions or to trust in God and share their resources with others. While they are trying to rebuild their lives and learn to live without power, people in their neighborhood start getting killed. Is it one of the Branning's friends or someone else?
I really enjoyed reading this book. The plot was fast-moving and the action keeps going until the end. I would recommend this book to others and am looking forward to reading the other books in the series.
