Andrews and Wilson seem to be unstoppable in their ability to churn out unique fast paced action thrillers. Dark Fall is a fantastic story full of futuristic (and very plausible) weaponry, intense tactical descriptions, and enough drama to keep readers flipping page after page.

While this particular novel wraps up a lot of the main storylines so far in the series, I am hoping that we continue to see many more books to come.

Brian Andrews and Jeffery Wilson just penned another heart stopping novel in their third installment in their Shepherds series, Dark Fall. I have always looked forward to the newest releases of an Andrews and Wilson novel because you know it’s going to be a great read! It will have great character development, an intricate plot, and have nail biting action till the bitter end. Dark Fall is all of this and more.

In this third installment of the spiritual warfare thriller series, Jed and his fellow Shepherds rush off to Peru right after a strange terrorist attack that looks like Gods hand struck down this small village. As Jed and his team look around, evidence appears that this is the work of the Dark Ones. No where is safe with this weapon in their hands, so Jed, the Shepherds, and the Watchers must race against time to find it. In the meantime, Victor, who has been the main antagonist these past three novels, has a much more sinister plan up his sleeves. As the Shepherds race around the world, he plans to target something extremely valuable to them on the home front.

I like how Andrews and Wilson layout their storylines in a three book story arc. In Dark Fall, we get the conclusion of this arc, and it was heartbreakingly beautiful. By this point in reading a series, the reader has grown attached to characters. We grow to love them and to despise them, so to have a conclusion of a story arc can be bitter sweet.

I truly love the spiritual warfare aspect of this series. In the military thriller genre, we are always guaranteed great fight scenes, violence of action, and a crazy bad guy. What I love about the Shepherds series is that we get all of that, yet it feels like the stakes are amplified because they are fighting for the souls of people. To steer them from the dark back to the light. Dark Fall is a gorgeous conclusion to this story arc, and I can’t wait for more!

As I've said in my reviews of the first 2 books in this series, it's a very interesting and a bit unique approach to Spiritual warfare. There's still some unsavory language, and some gruesomeness, but overall a good book. If you've read the previous 2 books, I definitely recommend reading this 3rd book!
Thank you to NetGalley and Tyndale House for the advance e-copy of this book. All opinions expressed are entirely my own!

Never a dull moment in this plot! The author really keeps the plot moving and the reader on their toes. I didn’t read the previous books in this series so there were some references to prior events that I’m sure were in the first book, but I was still able to stay with the plot.

The constant emphasis on evil versus good and the forces in the unseen world were a big part of the plot. If those spiritual type battles unnerve you, then you might want to think twice about reading it. There was a lot of technical jargon, almost a bit too much in the details of the missions. I realize the author did this to keep things authentic but it bogged down the reading for me.

Of course there is a win for the good guys in the end, and hopefully another book in the series. I would recommend this book for teen readers. I was given a free copy in exchange for this review.

DARK FALL is the third novel in the Shepherds series by JEFFREY WILSON and BRIAN ANDREWS. It is an exciting thriller. While I like the idea of the Shepherds and what they stand for, I find the concept of the Watchers with their gift of second sight weird and un Christian.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Tyndale House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

The battle between good and evil has continued since before the beginning of time. This excellent sequel finds Jethro and Jedediah (and many others) going at it when a super weapon is brought into play. International in scope, we still learn much about the individuals’ beliefs, faith, values, and commitment to the cause as they fight truly evil foes.
