Silence in the Dark
is the fourth book in the Logan Point book
series and even though I did not read the first books I did not find this story
hard to follow; however, I would advise reading them because I’m sure they
provide extra information on some characters and background information. There also does seem to be a continuing plot-
something about guns being stolen and sold illegally in Mexico- that appears to
have trickled down from the books previous, but, again, I don’t know -I didn’t
read the other books.
This is the story of Baily and her ex-fiancé Danny trying to
survive a drug cartel and escape Mexico alive.
Danny was my favorite character and I felt an immediate kindred bond
with him because we shared the same name.
Because of this I was extremely biased- anything bad that happened in
the story was not Danny’s fault. Also I found
myself disliking anyone who hurt Danny or made him upset (you mess with one
Danny you get the other). Baily was one
of those characters who incurred my wrath.
I didn’t like it that she broke poor Danny’s heart (even if I knew where
she was coming from- she survived a pretty traumatic childhood incident) when
she broke off her engagement with him two years prior to the happenings of this
book.
However Baily and Danny are not the only characters as there
is also Maria, the young girl who Baily was put in charge of getting to her
grandparents; the misplaced waitress, Solana, who lost her job and endangered
her own life when she helped save Baily’s and Maria’s lives; the mysterious
Angle who, while he is helping them, has an agenda all his own; and Joel, Maria’s
uncle, who at the surface seems like a nice enough guy, but could be hiding
some pretty nasty secrets himself.
This is an intense, fast paced book that I read in a little over
a day and enjoyed greatly. My thanks go
to Revell Publishing for providing me a copy for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
