When Heather Culebra becomes the toast of the literary world with her bestselling vampire romance tales, it spurs David Justice - a devout Christian - into action. Determined not to let Heather's seductive, vampire-worshipping fiction condemn an unsuspecting world to hell, David pens his own book, designed to enlighten humanity to the dangers and foreboding evil of praising her works. Strangely enough, the passion of their respective endeavors soon pours over into a downright magnetic attraction between the two diametrically-opposed authors - despite their efforts to fight it. The only problem? David's growing love and affection for Cindy, a God-fearing nurse who offers the grounded spiritual substance he lacks in his fleshly pursuit of Heather...in the resultant romantic tug-of-war, which spiritual force will ultimately be the winner of David's mind and heart? In Against The Twilight, prolific author Donald James Parker has crafted a clever, multi-layered romance tale that readers from all backgrounds can appreciate. On one level, the unfolding drama, intrigue, and suspense of David's love-triangle entertain is sure to entertain, while on another level Parker addresses the much-hyped hold that vampire mania has recently established over modern pop culture. In what has become his signature fashion, Parker dissects the relative strengths and weaknesses of the phenomenon, incisively dicing them into a fine dust with the sharp blades of logic and reason. Supported by biblical scripture and conventional wisdom, Against The Twilight puts up a convincing fight in highlighting the flaws of idolizing anything rooted in - and masked by - deception and ambiguity. The latest enlightening offering from a standout literary talent, Against The Twilight is sure to warm the heart - as well as unnerve the weak-minded and easily swayed. Latonya Franklin - Apex Reviews
