Review – Darkness Rising

January 23, 2013 By The Suspense Zone

Lis Wiehl with Pete Nelson in their new book, “Darkness Rising” Book Two in the East Salem series published by Thomas Nelson introduces us to the town of East Salem.

From the back cover:  The evil in East Salem is no longer content to hide in the shadows. The stakes—and the darkness—are rising.

Dani Harris thought there wasn’t much left that could surprise her after serving as a forensic psychiatrist in East Salem. And Tommy Gunderson has faced few challenges in his life that he couldn’t overcome by either physical strength or his celebrity status.

But as they race to uncover what’s really happening behind the high walls of St. Adrian’s Academy, it becomes clear that supernatural forces have been at work here for generations. And now those forces are intent on making sure Dani and Tommy don’t interfere.

When the unseen becomes seen, faith is the only weapon strong enough to fight in a battle involving not just murder and betrayal—but angels and demons.

They just solved one mystery, now they have found there is an even bigger mystery.  Just when they thought they could breathe Forensic psychiatrist Dani Harris and private investigator Tommy Gunderson find a new threat that is even more dangerous than what they just solved.  For this one they need help and increase the team by two, both of their ex-fiancés.  However, as the fore-some uncover the necessary evidence they need they also draw the attention of dark, unwanted forces against them.  “Darkness Rising” is a thriller, which simply means that everyone is in grave danger from, practically, the beginning.  The authors give us a really complex mystery and sections of story that will chill you.  “Darkness Rising” is full of twists and turns, with a few red herrings thrown in just to cause confusion.  Dani and Tommy are warm and likable and we get engaged in their lives.  This is an exciting book, extremely well paced and suspenseful.  I am enjoying this series and look forward to the conclusion.
