Darkness Falls is the first book in the Nature's Fury series. It tells the story of sisters Quinn and Riley who, after losing their parents, have to struggle to survive the aftermath of a massive earthquake. Stuck in a trailer with very little food and supplies, the girls must do whatever it takes to keep themselves safe and alive.
I have to say I did enjoy this book. It was a bit of a slow burn for me, though. I was expecting maybe a little more disaster from Mother Nature, but overall, it wasn't a bad read. I found myself feeling for the sisters as they tried their best to stay together. Creepy neighbor guy didn't exactly help with that, though.
I did like the little rag-tag group of friends that joins Quinn after Riley goes missing. They definitely don't have it easy once they set off on their journey to both find Riley and make it home.
And after that ending... I'm definitely curious to find out what's going to happen next. It was definitely an interesting little cliffhanger/tease. I can't wait!
I'm giving Darkness Falls 4 stars. It was a pretty good read that kept me intrigued, although I did want a little more action/disaster, I guess. That's just me, though. Check it out if you like dystopian fiction.
