When Daylight Is Gone: A Suspenseful Contemporary Christian Fast-Paced Thriller (Pastors' Wives Club Suspense)

The Pastors’ Wives Club is back!
From Georgia Curtis Ling the author of the gripping #1 Amazon hit But There Were Signs comes a powerful standalone sequel born from the same lived reality. Written by a native of the Appalachian foothills who spent over twenty years inside the ministry world, WHEN DAYLIGHT IS GONE delivers another breathtakingly authentic mystery where faith, danger, and the bonds of sisterhood collide.

For the pastors' wives of East Tennessee, the scars of the past are deep, but they believed the worst was behind them. They thought they had finally brought the truth to light. They were wrong. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN UNSHAKABLE FAITH MEETS COLD-BLOODED EVIL?
In the Appalachian wilderness, children are being stalked. Something monstrous lurks between the ancient pines, casting a terrifying shadow across Spring Valley’s church spires and schoolyards. When a young boy is brutally attacked and left for dead in the dark forest, the illusion of small-town safety is shattered once again.

Defying explicit police warnings, four pastors’ wives-turned amateur sleuths reunite with their weathered ally to hunt a monster wearing human skin whose hunger for innocence leaves graves unmarked beneath the forest floor. Armed with nothing but raw determination, an intimate knowledge of their community, and an unshakable faith, these unlikely warriors refuse to back down.

But deep within those isolated woods, unholy secrets fester—protected by hands that have already killed once and will gladly kill again. As they unearth a dark forest of buried sins, these tenacious detectives confront an enemy who targets the vulnerable. Unwittingly, they stir a deeper malice from its slumber. To stop the nightmare and prevent another child from vanishing into the darkness, they must risk everything—unaware that the true danger surrounding them has only just begun.

Echoing heartbreaking real-world events, When Daylight Is Gone delivers a pulse-pounding battle between faith and darkness that you won't just read—you will feel!
