Last Light by Terri Blackstock
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Terri Blackstock is a brilliant writer. In book one of her Restoration Series, Blackstock captured my attention and imagination, making it quite difficult to set a slow, steady pace to read it. I found myself like I was when a child, sneaking in little reading sessions whenever I could. Putting off other tasks in order to read. Bringing the book with me everywhere in case I had just five minutes in which I could read further in the story.
The story takes place in modern times and follows the lives of a wealthy family and neighborhood when a global event disables all technologically advanced machines. This includes all vehicles, cell phones, digital watches, plumbing systems, and telephone lines. In the midst of confusion, chaos, airplane crashes, and inability to communicate long distance, the characters in the main family find themselves launched into unexpected and unwanted journeys. To add to their worries and desperation, a killer makes him or herself known in their neighborhood and creates a tailspin in the lives of these well-crafted characters.
I am now a Terri Blackstock fan for life. I can hardly wait to get my hands on the sequel, Night Light.
