Book Review: "Into the Light (The Light Series Book 1)" By: Aleatha Romig




Title: Into the Light (The Light Series Book 1)  By: Aleatha Romig
Publication Date: 6/14/2016

Summary:
Sara Adams awakes blind, unable to remember the most basic details of her life, but her darkness seems a blessing when she discovers the terrors of The Light.

Stella Montgomery investigates the news from the mean streets of Detroit, where she’s noticed a disturbing trend: young women are vanishing. When her best friend disappears, Stella digs for answers—despite warnings from her police detective boyfriend—following a twisted trail that leads her through the city’s most dangerous and forsaken precincts. There she uncovers something more sinister than she could have imagined: a shadowy organization known as The Light, led by the enigmatic Father Gabriel.

As Sara struggles to understand her place in the strange world she’s awakened to—an oppressive cult demanding unquestioning obedience—and her feelings for Jacob, the husband she can’t recall and whose harsh and tender attentions confuse and beguile her, Stella risks all to discover the truth. But enlightenment always comes with a price… From www.amazon.com

Review:
This book took me FOREVERRRRR to read. I had back-to-back hectic trips scheduled and when my quiet reading time rolled around I was exhausted and would read 5 minutes and fall asleep. Alas, that has NOTHING to do with how much I enjoyed this book. 

I like books where people have amnesia. Not sure why? This book was full of amnesia-suspense. I think that could be a new genre. I also like cults. Anyway…

This book definitely had twists I didn’t see coming. Actually, one of the twists I thought was a plot hole and noted it to mention to the publisher in my review. I did not find this book overly predictable, but it was fun to guess and try to figure out who was involved and in which ways, if any. It made me emotional too, in some sick, cult-like-amnesia-romance sort of way.   

I can’t wait until the next book comes out. I hope it is as creepy, unpredictable, and oddly-romantic as this one was.
