FEARS OF DARKNESS by J.M. Northup
As
Dakota’s safe, secure world comes crashing around her, she has to learn how to
survive in a new, brutal world. Along with her boyfriend, two sisters and a
best friend, they strive to stay alive and build a new world for themselves.
Which wolf will they feed: the dark wolf or the white wolf?
I was
pleasantly surprised at the Author’s use of herbal treatment in this book. But, when you’re trying to survive the end of
your civilized world, that’s all you’ll have.
I’m a firm believer in the curing benefits of herbology, and her usage
is spot-on.
I don’t
agree with the premise of the plot. As
stated in a prior review, it’s thin and I just don’t see the US falling apart as
quickly or completing as she depicts. I
do believe we've been complacent far too long, but any type of government
failing will be due to outside sources.
Not some gangs or groups of dis-satisfied people joining together. Her premise was more a ban on guns sort of
thing, which I’m against.
As for
the characters, I loved them all. They
were very well-developed and each one brought a different strength to their
group. I thought Dakota looked at the
world too much through rose tinted glasses, but I did too at that age. At the end of this book, Dakota has to face
the question of the wolves. It’s easier
giving into the darkness and a person has to fight all the time to stay true to
themselves.
I
really liked the different settings, towns and other people they ran across in
their trek to find a safe haven. I
thought the ending was kinda rushed and didn’t make sense either, from no government
to full military support.
This
book is perfect for the young & older adult alike. It has a lot of moral challenges and issues that
should be addressed in today’s society. I
highly recommend and give it my 4 feathers.
