Darkness Before Dawn was a book that gave me conflicting feelings. I think it was written well, easy to read, the storyline was interesting... but the story got SO dark at times. I found those moments of intense grief/revenge difficult to read. The ending was good, though, and I loved seeing things turn around.

All in all, mixed feelings. I enjoyed the book overall... but struggled at times with the darkness.

Once I started reading this book, I was gone, and could not put it down. I have read another book by this author, but he has outdone himself with this one. I am ready for more!
Can put myself in Meg Richard's shoes, and can feel how that bitter hate would happen. She receives a call that no woman wants. Her young husband has been killed by a drunk driver! They had been looking at houses and had great plans for their lives, and she had the news to tell him, they were having a baby.
Satan has a firm hold in this story, non-forgiveness, hate. If justice can not be done, she, Meg, will extract it! God has not forsaken her, even if she has him. He places people in her life, even when she at first rejects them, he continues.
The story takes a lot of twist and turns, we have a DA more concerned about his life and political ambitions. We have a young Assistant DA, who is still grieving about loosing her Dad to a drunk drive, and wants revenge through Meg. We have dear friends and a Mother, who love Meg and want to help her, but she has frozen her heart. Then we have a cocky young man, the drunk teen, who killed Meg's husband, Jim Thomas.
Ace has woven a page turning read, and when the story ended...I wanted more.

I received this book through Litfuse Publicity Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.
