Book Nany-Guest Reviewer

                 

The Restoration series by Christian Author Terri Blackstock consists of four books:  Last Light, Night Light, True Light, and Dawn's Light.  I truly enjoyed each of these books!  From the very beginning, I could not put them down.  Imagine everything shutting down in an instant....no communication, no transportation, no electricity....nothing works!  This is what happens when they experience a surge at the beginning of the first book, Last Light.  From that moment on, life as we know it has ended.  This series shows how people work through these difficult times to survive.
