Darkness Rising, by: Lis Whiel

This book was very interesting. The second in the East Salem series I was intrigued to see how Whiel would continue the story that was so riveting. The second book in the series was just as exciting as the first, however the excitement came from a different place. The first book in this series has a "cop show" feel with a little bit of the spiritual realm mixed in. The second book had tons of spiritual warfare, demons and angels throughout the whole book and only a little CSI mixed in. I enjoyed both books, however I felt like Darkness Rising started out slow in the first few chapters. I felt like Whiel spent too long reintroducing characters, but that may be because I had read the first book and then immediately started the second book.
I would not recommend this book for anyone who cannot immerse themselves in the type of fiction dealing with the spiritual realm. I find that type of writing fascinating and often very enjoyable. If you are like me and enjoy that kind of story then this is a great book to pick up! A novel story about the end of the world and how the army of God is going to fight back. I enjoyed reading this book and will probably pick it up again in the future. I would rate the book 4/5 stars.
