IN DARKER PLACES by BRANDT DODSON is the fourth book in the Colton Parker series and is well worth reading. It is a modern story of the "lost sheep" that Jesus speaks of in His parable of the same name.Callie Parker runs away, and her father pulls out all the stops to find her. He follows the leads to Las Vegas and it is in "Sin City" that Colton realises that he is also lost and needs saving.
Callie, largely due to her grief over losing her mother, becomes involved with kids at school who are into Goth clothes and anti- establishment behaviour and this leads to her becoming part of a satanic cult. The leader of the cult, who draws young girls into prostitution, takes a special liking to her and she becomes one of his followers. Colton realizes that he is unable to fight against the evils of occultism in his own strength and he turns to the God who his wife, his friend and former colleague Mary, his new friend Marty, and his wife's pastor, have been talking about for so long.
The novel exposes the dangers children face today. Drugs, satanism, new age philosophy and prostitution are realistically exposed. There is also a strong theme of unconditional love running throughout. It is an exciting read and I can highly recommend it.
