Oscar Wilde once said, "Life imitates art far more than art imitates life." His musing crossed my mind when I read the first book in J. E. Plemons Last Light Falling series, The Covenant. Since I read the Covenant I’ve watched news story after news story unfold on the TV: violence, mass killings, hateful words spewing out of people’s mouths, people believing they are superior for one reason or another over others, no respect for humanity and life, and I’ll admit I am unnerved by what I see happening, especially in the U.S. Just this week in my brother’s community a fireman was deliberately run over and killed while he was collecting money as part of his departments annual “fill the boot” campaign for Muscular Dystrophy.

Another great book from a talented author who deserves to be at the top of the best sellers list! My hats off to J.E.
