Wow! I dont think Tracy can write a bad book. I finished the Guardian Flame and jumped right into So Shines the Night. I was once again swept back in time and caught up in a story of epic proportions.
Each book of Tracys is different, and this book was very different then I expected. It dealt with dark forces and murder, even more so than in City of the Dead. Several side characters are demon possessed at the main characters both come in contact with evil. However, the light is strong as well, and in the end, light conquers the darkness.

I must say that one of my favorite parts is Trays portrayal of Paul. He was as I imagined him and she pulled him and other biblical characters into the story so well. Toward the end of the book, I realized what the story was building to; an event that I had read in the book of Acts.

Tracys characters are always so life like and this book was no exception. Both Daria and Lucas are running from hurt in their past. There interaction with each other is very real. This isnt a fuzzy, feel good romance. This is a book with a heavy dose of reality, with characters that seem to come alive.
Although this book is not for the faint of heart or for the young; I highly recommend it as a story of faith, redemption, and the power of God.

I received this book from Thomas Nelson through Book Sneeze in exchange for my honest review. I was under no obligation to write a positive review. The opinions in this review are entirely my own.
