Publisher's summary

The evil that's in East Salem is no longer content to hide in the shadows. The stakes - and the darkness - are rising. Dani Harris thought there wasn't much left that could surprise her after serving as a forensic psychiatrist in East Salem. And Tommy Gunderson has faced few challenges in his life that he couldn't overcome by either physical strength or his celebrity status.

But as they race to uncover what's really happening behind the high walls of St. Adrian's Academy, it becomes clear that supernatural forces have been at work here for generations. And now their focus is on making sure Dani and Tommy don't interfere.

When the unseen becomes seen, faith is the only weapon strong enough to fight in a battle involving not only murder and betrayal - but angels and demons.

I loved it!

I'm a Frank Perretti fan. I never thought I'd find another author that I'm equally excited about. I was wrong!

Recently discovered author, want to read them all!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely, if they like the mystery/thriller genre. This is a mystery/ thriller that grabs you in the first page or so and won't let you go. When it's over you want more.

I recommend reading the first book in the series before reading this (Waking Hours.) The first book sets the stage. I read the first book in the series when it was given to me as a gift. I read almost non-stop for 24 hours!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Darkness Rising?

Just before and during the time when they all begin to believe that some of them are angels and they are vanquishing demons.

What about Devon O'Day’s performance did you like?

She does a good job of changing her voice and intonations for each character. You almost know which character is which simply by her voice.

Who was the most memorable character of Darkness Rising and why?

I can't decide, but if I must choose one, I would choose Carl.

Any additional comments?

I just discovered Lis Wiehl (a Fox News Anchor.) Her writing on this series is great & I plan to read her other books.

Intriguing and fascinating story

Demons and angels appear in this "down to earth" and, at the same time, "heaven/ hell" story. The story "grabs" you (as every good thriller should) and is great to read.

Way too wordy!

Very slow and labored... although she is articulate, she doesn't have enough of a story line to support that much descriptive language.
