I loved the ending to this wonderful series. I was scared to think that this could happen at any time in our lives. I hope that if something like this were to happen that the human race would band together rather than fall apart. I loved all the main characters. I really liked Carter and Lahn. I loved the thrills and some chills.

While I like that the authoress has entered the new waters (I loved her series about the crimes in the Amish community) and some of the messages are both sweet and valuable, I do not think that this is a good dystopian novel. The darkness among people is not written that realistically. Another problem is that I did not care about the main characters - both individually and as a couple. Side characters Bianca and Patrick came much more alive to me.

This was a great read, wasn’t at all what I was expecting but I loved it. Couldn’t put it down at all and would highly recommended it to others!

Was unsure about this series but so glad that I took a chance on it. Not what I usually read but well written and keeps you enthused.

I couldn’t put it down. Vanetta created a series that for me was a surprise to love and heart breaking to see end. This has never been my style of books, but the way it was designed gave me the ability to feel as though this could really happen. As the conclusion to the series this book brought me hope and love. It was well written and filled with just the right ending moments.

I was hooked on Vannetta Chapman's The Remnant series when I read its prequel, Overshadowed. I'm glad there are three books that follow! With each book after, the endings had me wanting more. This fast-paced series has come to a conclusion with Light of Dawn.

I have really enjoyed all four books in this series. I think they should be read in order because each ends with a cliff hanger, except Light of Dawn. I also feel they would be best read by thirteen year olds or older due to the nature of what it takes to survive. Vannetta gives the reader a few good reminders - we can't survive alone, technology can fail us, and God is always in control even when the world is in chaos. Like all good writing, Light of Dawn's ending is only the beginning. The reader gets to imagine how life continues on for the characters. But I hope some day Vannetta chooses to write more about them. l was provided a complimentary review copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

I have read several novels by Ms Chapman...and was thrilled to discover that another was in publication. I devoured this novel in one sitting one afternoon. LIGHT OF DAWN captured my attention from the cover art....and did not let it go until the final chapter. I have shared this book w/ all of my reading friends...and libraries.

I loved this book I recommend you read this series from the start.. you will love it such a great book.

This book is the last story in The Remnant series. I had not read the others that came before it, but I feel like it was entirely readable and understandable without reading the previous books. It grabbed me from the opening lines of Shelby’s journal. A solar flare has changed the world of technology and even electricity to a thing of the past. The dystopian society that is evolving is scary and somewhat predictable when one understands human nature. The writing was excellent and imminently readable. It was quite thought-provoking as I wondered just exactly what I would do if faced with no electricity and technology and worthless paper money.

One of the better books in the end of the world as we know it genre. It also goes to prove a book does NOT have to be filled with profanity and constant blood and gore to get the point across in this thrilling genre. Chapman' s trilogy is all the more terrifying because of it's very possibilities. There are no little green men coming down in space ships to destroy earth. The United States isn't suddenly invaded by an enemy nation firing nuclear weapons to destroy the power grid. No, it's a naturally occurring phenomena that sets our nation back over 100 years in development. All the little things each of us rely on could easily disappear in this frightening scenario. Chapman makes me want to stockpile some supplies just in case!

Light Of Dawn is book 3, the last of the Remnant series. I don’t think this works well as a standalone; I recommend reading Deep Shadows and then Raging Storm before starting this one. Because of the length of time between books, and the many books I read between them, some of the details of what went before were a bit fuzzy in my memory. I would have been lost without the other two, and I really think you need them to fully appreciate this book.

Vannetta Chapman crafted a nice trilogy with this series. The books do flow from one to the next and there are some cliffhangers at the end of the first two books. The series gave me a lot to think about, and the plot is certainly something that could happen, if not by solar flare, who knows what may happen to break down our way of life and leave all of us without grocery stores, gas stations or any of the things we count on in life. Obviously this is a subject the author has researched and thought about because so much of what the characters have done, seems so very workable to me. The main characters grew on me as I got to know them and I loved how they interacted and cared for each other.

I highly recommend this series.

I haven't read anything by Vanetta Chapman, but the idea of what would happen when the power went out intrigued me. Plus, I have heard rave reviews about this series. The writing was top notch with enough details for me to visualize the setting and the emotions of the characters. As for Shelby and Max, it was nice to see how much faith they had in each other and the strength they had to try to find the Remnant again. The romance between the two came to a head near the end of the novel, and will make, I believe, every romance reader happy. The plot is a totally different thing. While I believe with the power going out and the confusion and death that will occur that Chapman portrayed, I struggled with staying involved with the plot. Not that the world really couldn't turn this harmful. It just didn't capture my attention like I wanted it to. Every moment Shelby and Max were running into someone who could potentially harm them. There really weren't that much down time for the characters to do anything but be on the hunt for something or someone. If you enjoyed this series by Chapman, I highly recommend Terri Blackstock's A Restoration Novel series, with Last Light, Night Light, True Light, and Dawn's Light or Amanda G. Steven's Haven Seeker's Series with Seek and Hide, Found and Lost, Take and Give, and Far and Near. Now these stories captured my attention more.

I received a complimentary copy of Light of Dawn by Vanetta Chapman from Harvest House Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Light of Dawn is the third and final book in The Remnant Series.
This series made me think of how I'd react in the same situation as the characters in this series have after a solar flare changed their way of life.
Shelby, Max ,their small circle of family and friends are much braver than I would ever be. They've come together and have managed to adjust to their new way of life in which each day is a struggle. I admired and respected them for their willingness to travel through the decimated towns and cities to help find new government.
It has been a wild and terrifying journey the characters have taken and one I hope I'll never have to take.
I received a copy of Light of Dawn from Netgalley and have given my honest opinion.

I have really enjoyed reading this series and this book was just as good. I would find it hard to go through what Shelby, Carter, and Max have been going through and then to leave what is comfortable to try to find what is needed would be even worse. This book is a real page turner and will pull you in from the beginning.
I received a copy from the publisher, but the review is my own.

The story begins by telling about a mother trying to take care of her adult son after an EMP burst took out all the power. Shelby's son, Christopher is injured, and he has to have insulin shots which they only have a short supply of.
Christopher gradually improves, and their small group living out on a small Texas ranch, decide to go on a dangerous trek to Kansas to see if they can find a hidden outpost of the U.S. government who can help defend innocent people and find and give out food and medical supplies.
They take 3 vehicles, a Hummer-like military vehicle, a Mustang, and an old Dodge truck that are not computer-controlled so they still run.
It is a lawless civilization, in which every man fends for himself,, and they run into some vicious groups, intent on killing them and taking their vehicles!
You will have to read the book for yourself to see who they meet and if there is a U.S. government!

Wow what an ending to an incredible series. I kind of wish it was going to be continued but I guess all good things must end eventually. This series and this book is really well written and I just could not put it down. The Remnant Series is definitely worth your time.

It has everything a solar flare, a nuclear bomb, people doing what they want when they want as there is no law and of course total disregard for mankind. It is a time when nothing works. No phones, No computers No nothing. There is total disregard for human life. Disasters tend to bring the best and worst out of people but mainly the worst. All out for number one.

It is seriously the end of the world survival where everything is scarce food, water and medical supplies. People have to live of their wits to get by.

This is not a stand a lone book. In my opinion you need to read the first 2. Enjoy!

Light of Dawn by Vannetta Chapman is the conclusion to The Remnant series. Shelby Sparks along with her son, Carter are living at High Fields owned by Max Berkman's parents. Carter slowly recovered from his severe injuries, and the group had won the war against the Cavanaughs. Life in a post flare world is not easy, and they live a day to day existence. Max would like his relationship with Shelby to evolve, but she is not ready to let him in. Shelby is concerned about finding more insulin for Carter since his current supply will only last another three months. One day Patrick Goodnight and Bianca Lopez show up at High Fields. They were not expecting them for another three months. Patrick has received a mission from Governor Reed and he would like their assistance. Governor Reed is sending scouts out to every state to locate the federal government which has not been heard from since the flare. Patrick along with Gabe Thompson are heading to Kansas. Max, Shelby, Bianca, Lanh, and Carter agree to go with Patrick and Gabe on this perilous quest. It is a six-hundred-mile journey that will be fraught will hazards that will test each of them. These seven people will need to be strong in character and faith to complete their journey and return home safely.

Light of Dawn is a well-written novel that captured and held my interest from the very beginning. Light of Dawn is the third book in the series (not including the prequel Overshadowed) and they need to be read in order. Overshadowed sets the stage for what occurs in Deep Shadows. The novels in The Remnant series build upon each other. The story contains characters that are very real. We get to see how they adapt to their new lives while keeping their faith. I give Light of Dawn 5 out of 5 stars. They only thing I wanted to see was Shelby growing/developing over the course of the series (not just at the end of series). She adapted to the new way of life, but she never forgot Carter's need for insulin. I know how important it was for her to keep her son alive and healthy (and they needed the insulin to achieve that goal). But it seemed to be her sole focus. I would have started researching homeopathic and Native remedies from the beginning (grab the books before people took them for fuel—smart, but makes me just cringe at the thought). It would have been nice to see the romance between Max and Shelby grow throughout the series. Otherwise, Light of Dawn is well-crafted and leaves the reader thinking how would they handle a situation similar to that in The Remnant series. It makes me want to start stockpiling items (especially toilet paper, chocolate, books and soda—necessities of life). Light of Dawn mentioned some interesting new technologies that I want to investigate further. Vannetta Chapman created a book (actually, a series) that will have people talking!

This book is so real and in a way a scary reality, a solar flare, a nuclear bomb, lawlessness, and complete disregard for mankind.
The author has us thinking about how we would survive, what we all take for granted, all gone, no more picking up you phone and calling or looking for information, nothing works, and if it did there is nothing to hook up to.
Why does disaster bring out the worse in some people, there is so much unnecessary bloodshed, and for what? When we travel to find the Government we discover a lot of hidden secrets, did they know or were they just being prepared. Who is playing God, and yes there are some of his followers left, and I just wanted to stay with them.
We are back with friends, some we met in the first book, and yes you want to read them all, they are tremendous, and others we met in the second, and now we are together in the third, the conclusion to this mind thinking series. I wish there was another book to come, I hate to say goodbye, and want to keep up on their lives, and those I have come to love.
This is a book that is going to make you think and you will be quickly page turning and then feeling remorse when the last page is turned.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harvest House and was not required to give a positive review.

Light of Dawn is book 3 and the final book in The Remnant series. Each of the books in this series has kept me up late reading. The trials the group suffered from the beginning continued with this book. This book as in the others in the series causes one to think what you would do if the power grid went out. Could you trust your neighbors enough to band together for the good? Along the way the group of people met good people and not so good people. I liked the ending but it kind of left you wondering. The power grid never did come back on in the story. It left you to wonder what would the people do to rebuild the society.

Thanks to Netgalley and Harvest House Publishers for allowing me to read and review a digital copy of this book. Light of Dawn will be released on July 1, 2017.

Vannetta Chapman is such a great author.  I have read the previous two books of the Remnant series and really enjoyed them and this book was just an amazing book, as well.  The book is action-packed and there are no dull moments that as a reader, one might just skim past.  This is a book in which you will want to hang on to every single word and there are some very important things taking place in this book which could truly happen in our lifetime.  The destruction of life as it was known to them, brought about people that would do anything to survive including killing those that got in the way.

The book makes you THINK!  Am I prepared?  What would I do in this situation?  This book shows society at it's worst and at it's best.  And makes you wonder if things will ever return to life as you once knew it.

I really, really enjoyed this book!

I received a copy of this book from the author for my honest review, which I have given.
