 book - Last Light by Terri Blackstock January 6, 2009
I have read all of this series and it is one of the best - in writing as well as content.
excellent November 23, 2008
Terri Blackstock really captures the essence of human nature while creating a superb suspense story. She makes you think about your relationship with God and how you would react in the event of a unexplained disaster. Absolutely page turning, don't stop reading until the end book.

...or maybe just the beginning.
Last Light landed in my lap via a recommendation from my mother. Strictly based on her word that I should read the book, I picked it up unsure of what might lie beneath the jacket. As I started reading, I soon found myself swept into the story within. The idea of losing it all played heavily on my dreams that night. When I woke the next morning, I half expected the lights to not work. Of course they came on without hitch. However, I wonder if that was such a good thing. What would the world be like if all the technology we so heavily relied on let us down? Would it be so horrible to spend time with humanity and get to know each again? Maybe not but would we be ready to handle the unintended consequences on our lives? The questions continue to flow through my mind. If you want to challenge yourself to reflect on what is truly important in your life, I invite you to pick up a copy of Last Light and prepare for a quick ride. I promise it will just the begging because you will be wanting more. Thankfully I already have a copy of Night Light in my possession. You do not have to be a Christian to enjoy this book, you just have to be open-minded to the possibilities that human beings cannot control everything in the world around us.

I originally purchased this book for my dad, but ended up finding something else to give him as a gift and kept it for myself. I didn't read the summary of the book, just saw it at the local Christian book store and thought that he would enjoy a series by a "#1 suspense author."
I brought it with me on vacation and finished the book in a matter of a couple days. It was a very good book, but there were parts about it that bothered me.
The premise of the book is unique, in my opinion. I've never thought about not only losing power, but everything mechanical. I have no idea what my family would do to survive, so it was a very interesting idea for a book.
I didn't mind the murder aspect of the book - it was how the murderer was portrayed. I won't go into detail, but there are some aspects of his character that just weren't believable for me. They had me rolling my eyes at how dramatic he was making that situation out to be.
Overall, I thought it was a good book and am excited that the other three books of the series have higher ratings than this one. I'm definitely looking forward to getting home to read the next one.
And maybe I'll even let my dad borrow them...

By the end of the Last Light I was hooked and had to devour the rest the series. I have to say that the first book gave me uncomfortable dreams -- but that's me. I found myself dreaming about where I was going to get water. [smile] I found the books engrossing, provacative and convicting. It shows you that difficulty and hardship can either bring out the best or the worst in people.
