I was hanging on at the end of The Darkest Sunrise thinking how is this all gonna play out. How are Porter and Charlotte going to survive all that was thrown at them?<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte lost her son 10 years ago when someone stole him from his stroller in plain daylight. Porter lost his wife and nearly lost his son in an accident. Both were fighting the dark but were able to find some light with each other. But can their love endure what is planned for them next. \u00a0What happens when one son is found and one son is taken away? Will they be able to find the light again?<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte and Porter will have to learn how to live in their new life all while trying to deal with family. We see the struggles of both families and how the kids deal with what is going on in their lives. My heart hurt so much for everyone as things unfolded\u2026ok maybe not everyone some could have not been such an ass.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed this family not just Charlotte and Porter but the secondary characters also. There were times in this book I just didn\u2019t see how Porter would be able to see the light again as he slipped back in to the darkness. I have to say Porter stole my heart with his distraction games\u2026where are we going to be in 6 minutes, 6 hours, 6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>Once again both the narrators were great. I could feel each emotion the characters were going through. It was difficult to put this one down.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her husband and four young children.<\/p>\n<p>Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta.
