Great Ending Jul 16, 2009 I couldn't wait to read the ending love story between Mark, Craig and Deni, it was awesome. Craig gives his life to Christ and Mark allows his love for Deni come to an awesome ending. I hate that the story took the turn that it did with Beth, but her life story was beautifully noted in the end. This book had me in tears at the end and I loved how the author brought salvation at the end. If you've read the other three books, you'll truly love this last book. This was my first time reading anything from this author and I am so glad I did.
AWESOME & INSPIRING! Feb 12, 2009 This series was probably some of the best material I have ever read, and I have read hundreds of books. She is such a talented and passionate writer. It really makes you realize how blessed we are and not to take things for granted.
Dawn's Light Jan 24, 2009 Excellant Book.Terri Blackstock is a wonderful writer,she always has your attention on every book I have read of hers.

Little Dawn in This Dark Finale Sep 17, 2008 It's been a year since the pulses started. The Branning family has been through a lot in that time. But things are finally looking up. Banks are opening on a limited basis. Even better, word has come out that the pulses have stopped. While that doesn't mean technology is back, it means things can get started.
Which is why Craig shows up. Denni's former fiancee has taken a job trying to restore the electricity in Alabama. And he's using it as an excuse to worm his way back into Denni's heart. Naturally, that's not sitting well with Mark Green, Denni's new boyfriend.
But while all this is going on, twelve year old Beth is withdrawing. After witnessing a murder, she is afraid the killer will track her down and fulfill his threat to murder her, too. Should she keep her mouth shut? Will he find her?
This is the fourth and final book in the series. It is absolutely critical you read the other three first to fully understand who these people are and there relationships.
Having said that, I was disappointed with the book. Once again, the mystery aspect gets squashed for other things. And yes, there is a lot going on here between Beth's story, the romantic triangle, and ending the power outages. But it's only the last two that are properly developed. Craig and Mark's scenes provide some much needed comic relief. And it's nice watching how things are slowing coming back to what we knew.
But it's Beth's story that really disappoints. As I already said, as a mystery it falls very flat. And the entire story tries to wrestle with some very weighty theological issues. Even though this is the longest book in the series, it just doesn't have enough time to fully develop everything. As a result, the ending was way too rushed to give the emotional resolution I needed. Honestly, if there had been another book in the series to fully play out what happened here, I would have been happier.
Fans of the series will want to read this book to find out how it all ends. And I am glad I read the series. It's just a shame that this was the weakest entry in it.
Dawn's Light an edge of your seat winner! Sep 11, 2008 The long wait for this book was well worth it. From the minute I picked it up I couldn't put it down. There were actually two mysteries going on at the same time. This book is well written as is all of Terri Blackstock's books. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, but look out for the end. Keep your kleenex handy!
