Bonfires Burning Bright (Refuge, #5)

Jeremy Robinson

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

The surviving inhabitants of Refuge have been shifted between worlds, never knowing what would come next. When the bell rings out once more, and the town is deposited in a new dimension, they find themselves surrounded by the worst of all possible Hell. And a very familiar one, at that. As Griffin and Frost work to safeguard the town's survivors from untold dangers yet to come, and solve the enigma of Renford Ellison's plan, the town is thrust into a world straight out of Griffin's nightmares--and his twisted, surreal paintings.  New alliances are formed. Answers emerge. But when Avalon is taken beyond the town's border, Griffin must venture out into the hellish landscape, navigating a labyrinth of flesh and skulls. To save the life of his daughter, he will have to face down an evil he thought existed only in his imagination. And the clock is ticking, because the church bell is ringing...  In their darkest hour, with danger all around, will the inhabitants of Refuge find their way past the bonfires burning bright, or will they be lost forever?  REFUGE is a serialized novel, co-authored by New York Times bestselling author, Jeremy Robinson, and four other authors, including international bestsellers Kane Gilmour and David McAfee, USA Today bestseller Robert Swartwood, and newcomer Daniel Boucher. The novel was released in five parts, but it is also available now as one complete novel. So read the individual parts or the whole completed novel. Either way, you're in for a creepy ride.

    This series was GREAT. You start off in a not untypical small NH town that happens to have a few high tech upgrades - the entire town has been switched to solar power, for example, putting the local electrician out of business. The town is getting ready for July 4, including most of the town going to the next town over to watch the fireworks.

    And then, the local church bell starts ringing... (Minor point that I'm unsure about: Where I live in the South, there are FAR more than one church per town!)

    When the bell stops ringing, the world outside of City Limits is completely different... and very strange. This starts a sequence that repeats throughout the series, with the town bell ringing and the town transporting to a new world filled with its own mysteries and dangers. Along the way, the people remaining in the town are just trying to survive - and later trying to figure out exactly what is happening and how to stop it. By the end of Season 1, they find out WHAT is happening, and even a bit of HOW it is happening...

    But how can they stop it? CAN they stop it? Will they ever return home? How will they know it is actually home? All of this needs answered, and for those answers we must wait for Season 2 (at least!)...
