Review – Threat of Darkness

I enjoyed this story. Samantha is a nurse who is also a CASA advocate (Court appointed special advocate). John has come back to Serenity, working with the police and comes across Samantha after an attack at the hospital. Samantha and John have a history and he is not who she wants to see. When she calls the police for help, they don't react straight away as she has reported people for child abuse before and she’s not always been taken seriously. Thanks to an incident at the hospital, Samantha seems to be in danger and John is determined to keep her safe. I have heard of CASA before thanks to Dr Phil and was interested in seeing it referred to in this book. It’s an important role and more advocates are needed. I love how the book highlights the work. While Samantha is in danger, she is also on a case where she suspects a well-respected man of abusing his child. This book deals with perceptions and how two people can have two different memories. It also deals with forgiveness and acceptance. The book kept me guessing until the end. A good read.
