Dawn Through The Shadows by Linda Anne Smith

When is a sequel more like a prequel but a stand-alone novel nonetheless? When it's Linda Smith's Dawn Through the Shadows.

There's a cult behind these stories and in this novel, you'll dive into the back story of a certain Andrew Covick and his first exposure with the Proclaimers of Christ.

Everything seems on the up and up at first glance. The people involved with this church are the standard-bearers of model citizens. Who wouldn't want to be part of this kind of peer community?

Does it become mentally fuzzy for him when aspects begin to appear dictator-ish? Will a daring rescue/intervention need to take place?

This book was entertaining. I had not ready the earlier novel, Terrifying Freedom so this was read with brand new eyes.

The writing was engaging. Smith does a good job with the character interactions and growth. Andrew's arc was keeping me locked in page after page.
