Exploring the importance of prayer, this is a gripping story of love and determination in difficult times. Christine Delarosa has been kidnapped and is being held hostage in a desert palace by pagan cult members. A murder investigation brings Christine's husband John closer to the group who is holding Christine hostage--will he be able to save her from the evil surrounding her?
Barbara J. Scott, an inspirational author and editor, released her first novella with Gilead Publishing in late 2016 titled “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” that appears in SLEIGH BELLS RING: FOUR CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE NOVELLAS. Her latest novel, DREAMS OF MY HEART, the first book in the Reluctant Brides historical romance series, will be released April 1, 2018, by Mountain Brook Ink. Her best-selling novels SEDONA STORM Band SECRETS OF THE GATHERING DARKNESS were written with co-author Carrie Younce and published by Thomas Nelson. She has more than forty years of publishing experience and has written several novels, screenplays, and gift books.
Barbara and her husband Mike live in the Nashville area with their two Chihuahuas, Riley and Sissy, both rescued from puppy mills. Reading, writing, and research are her passions.
Like any good sequel, Secrets of the Gathering Darkness features all the characters, intensity, suspense, and spiritual warfare that was in its prequel, Sedona Storm. Of course, that also means that this second installment has the same problems--namely, its depiction of battles between angels and demons--as the first one. Those who enjoyed Sedona Storm will most likely also like Secrets of the Gathering Darkness.
I liked this one better than "Sedona Storm". At the end of this book there's a note from the author saying that there would be a third book in this series, but if it ever came out I have been unable to find it.
