About this eBook
Christy Barnett is sleeping when her aging German shepherd Molly growls into the darkness outside her bedroom. She wakes to a dim glow provided by her Kindle’s screen, thankful that she had fallen asleep while reading again. The power has gone out, the world outside her window is eerily dark and silent. And Molly is wary of something that waits in the hallway, hiding in the shadows.
A dark cloud has fallen over the city of Aberdeen, MD. The population disappears in an instant. For the handful of survivors, those lucky enough to have a light source not connected to the power grid, it's more than terrifying. They’re left alone, walking through a nightmare, and that is a fate that could be worse than death itself.
The darkness is alive and it is the reason we fear the night.

Fairly well written, but horribly cliched military types and trite dialogue just doesn't cut it anymore. And the book is only about 270 pages long, not 320. The dark entities aren't particularly scary or threatening, there's little tension here. Some things happen, and then it all ends suddenly with one of the most unexciting climaxes in fiction history. As a King, Koontz, Laymon fan... well, this is just garbage by comparison. If this is what passes for 5 star entertainment these days, standards have well and truly nosedived.

This is the second book I read by Jason Brant and He is quickly becoming my go to Author. The writing is simple enough for someone like me to understand yet brilliantly intellectual at the same time. You cant help but get caught up In these far out theoretical Stories that are made to feel so realistic, you believe you would have seen it on the news at some point. Amazing Story, by an amazing author! Thanks Jason for A Great read.

I don't usually post reviews, but this time is very well deserved. This is the first book from Jason Brant I've read and I flew through it and I loved it. Even though the story might be short, Jason is able to create a very strong bond between the characters and the reader. His writing is also modern and not too sumptuous which make for a very pleasant reading experience. Also there are so many cliffhangers that you won't be able to stop reading!
