This was one of the spookiest books I've read in a long time. A cross between suspense and spiritual warfare, Darlington Woods contained similar bad guys — a cross between demons and horrific people — and that's what left me scared.
The hero of the novel, Rob Shields, doesn't know a thing about fighting demons. In fact, he's running from God. And the man doesn't have any experience fighting bad guys either, because he's just a regular guy. (Don't think Harrison Ford with a blender; think of your own dad, especially if he loves you very much.)
A happy ending? Yeah, I guess. An important theme? By all means. Fear will win unless we let the Light of Jesus shine.
This is the ACFW book club book for February, so I reserve the right to add to this post after discussion.
