This book was exciting and very intense. I suggest this book for anyone who likes suspenseful stories. It was so full of suspense I had to put it down a few times and play basketball or eat something. But as well as being intense, it ’s humorous, has amazing and funny characters, and has a hidden message—never give up. For all that I give it five stars. I think any other 13 year old will say the same.

Tim Shoemaker in his new book, “Back Before Dark” Book Two in the Code of Silence Series published by Zondervan gives us sometimes rescuing a friend from the darkness means going in after him.
From the back cover: Taken!
A detour through the park leads Cooper, Gordy, Hiro, and Lunk straight into a trap, and Gordy is abducted!
The kidnapper, a brilliant high-school student with a bitter agenda, thinks it’s all a big game, but evil has a way of escalating and consuming.
Despite the best of police efforts, the hours tick by without a clue or a ransom call, leaving everyone to their own fears. Gordy is gone. Cooper descends deeper into a living nightmare, imagining the worst for his best friend and cousin. Hours stretch into days, and talks of a memorial service begin to surface. But Cooper still feels his cousin is alive and develops a reckless plan, changing all the rules. Now the one who set out to rescue his friend needs to be rescued himself.
Gordy has been kidnapped! Cooper feels responsible because, even though he called 911, it is possible that he didn’t remember the license plate correctly. No ransom and everyone seems to have given up Gordy for dead. Except, of course, for Cooper and the gang which have added Lunk to the team. Get ready for a page-turning, you won’t be able to figure it out mystery thriller. This book is supposed to be written for young adults but I have news for you this book should also be read by the adults as well. This is good stuff. Cooper, Hiro, Gordy and Lunk are wonderful characters that are bright, resourceful and full of faith. Add in that all the characters are in deadly danger from practically the first word and continue to be so until the last few pages and you have a book that will keep you up late into the night flipping pages as fast as you can read. I recommend this book with enthusiasm.
