I received the e-book version of this book just a couple of days ago, and with traveling over Thanksgiving, I didn't have time to get started. So, after the turkey and stuffing was eaten and the dishes done, I sat down to read this sweet Christmas novella. It was a quick, fun read on a Thanksgiving afternoon while the rest of the family napped. Hope is on the run from someone she thought she could trust, feeling alone and scared since she is 8 and 1/2 months pregnant, and has no money or food or a place to stay. She feels like God is far away and that He doesn't really care about her but He is still working in her life, bringing together two hurting people who could help each other heal. I loved the parallels to the Nativity Story. The only downside was, I wish it were longer! I received a free copy of this book, but the opinions are my own.

She's fleeing danger, he's fleeing loss...
Christy Barritt is one of my absolute favorite authors, whether it's her mysteries or her romantic suspense, and I've really enjoyed the Carolina Moon series in particular. Light The Dark is a great novella, with plenty of suspense and romance, perfect for the cold snowy afternoons that are part and parcel of this time of year. You'll get to check in with some favorite characters from the previous books and get to meet some delightful new ones. I truly enjoyed this little Christmas novella and definitely recommend it to fans of this author or of Christmas suspense stories in general.
