True Light by Terri Blackstock

This is the third book in the Restoration Series by Blackstock. It has been a few months since I read book two and had to catch up on the plot. Blackstock does a good job of drawing you into the story and still providing information for her readers about the previous books plot. The chapters are short with enough suspense to keep you reading. I really enjoy her writing style - with enough romance thrown in to keep me interested. She weaves in bible verses in such a way that seem real to the situation and not forced.

This book continues the struggle of the Branning family after all electrically powered items no longer work. The explanation given is continuous electromagnetic pulses from a dying star - until it stops, nothing running on normal electrical circuits will work. The government begins working with scientists to find work arounds to make vital services - like hospitals work again. The plot is focused on Mark Green and a killing. Who did it and why do they think it is Mark? The story unfolds with threads of forgiveness and walking through the valley to get there.

I enjoyed this book - even though I am not much of a suspense novel reader.

Thanks for reading.
