Synopsis
In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to the age before electricity, Deni Branning's career ambitions have vanished. She's not about to let her dream of marriage go as well. But keeping it alive will require extraordinary measures. Yesterday's world is gone. All Deni and her family have left is each other and their neighbors. Their little community will either stand or fall together. But they're only beginning to realize it - and trust doesn't come easily. Particularly when one of them is a killer. Best-selling suspense author Terri Blackstock weaves a masterful what-if novel in which global catastrophe reveals the darkness in human hearts - and lights the way to restoration for a self-centered world.
Four Boundless Stars
I went out of order with this series; after listening to Book 3, Dawn’s Light, on a road trip, my husband asked to hear more from this series for the last road trip. Luckily, they are on audible. They both would read fine alone; but it was great to go back and see how it all started. We were hooked from the beginning, and couldn’t stop listening. I love how Christianity is so easily mixed into the suspense, action, and drama.
I loved the writing, the book is a strong 5 stars; however, the narration was a bit annoying. The volume was never at a regular volume; they were either screaming or whispering. I prefer the narrators’ to use their tones to create the mood variations, not their volume. This makes listening more of a chore than relaxing, especially in a car.
Overall, I rate this with 4 Boundless stars. The story is a 5 and the narration is a 3.
