"Darkness Rising" is the second book in the East Salem series and the sequel to "Waking Hours". It is supernatural thriller that has a Frank Peretti ring to it. There are angels and there are demons and people carrying out their plans.
I always like to read books that are in a series in order and in this case I highly recommend reading book one first.
In this book, forensic psychiatrist Dani Harris and private investigator Tommy Gunderson continue in the quest to find the truth of what is happening at St. Adrian's Academy. As they delve even deeper into the mysteries that surround the school, they discover that the truth is far more encompassing than they thought. Supernatural influences have had a stronghold for generations. Dani and Tommy are wondering who they can trust and battle with demons in a showdown of good verses evil.
The thing that I didn't like about the book is that it goes too deep into medicine and psychology for me. Someone with more understanding in those fields would enjoy it much more.
This is the second book of a trilogy. The last book, "Final Tide" is due out in September of 2013.
I do recommend this book. It is skillfully written, engaging and absorbing. Even though the subject is heavy there are moments that made me laugh. And yes there is romance as the relationship between Danny and former classmate, professional football player, and now Private I Tommy Gunndersonwho Dani hires for $1.00 per year, is growing.
