The New Dark is a new book that will be a series for young adult readers. It follows a young woman, Sorrel, who has had to adapt to living in the "now" after the world has become almost uninhabitable. She is comfortable in her village until it is attacked and her makeshift family is stolen by these dangerous creatures. Sorrel is then left with the decision to stay with nothing or purse these creatures and free her family. Sorrel has never faced any of the dangers that she take upon herself. The book is great for teens or adults who like Jonathon Maberry, Darren Shan, or even the book Sunshine. The feel is dystopian, but with an end of the world theme.

I had some issues with this one but I think it really had potential. Didn't really get the title with the story. Never connected to any of the characters and I am still unsure about the mutants that attacked - are they good or bad or both? Sorrell was likable but I didn't feel her connection to David, Eli, or Einstein. Maybe if there were more between David and Sorrell before the attack it would have helped. Did like that she was not helpless and used her head. Overall the story was a good one if you are one not to get invested with your characters. I received a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This book was addicting, and I couldn't put it down! Great writing and characters!!

I loved the cover and the blurb but the story really didn't live up to expectations. The heroine kept going from one thing to another like a pinball without really ever getting me engaged in her survival, and the constant just missed each other moments, well instead of being suspenseful they were annoying. Another thing I didn't like there was a cliff hanger at the end but even without any conclusion I didn't really care just felt like I wasted time reading it.

This was a great book of adventure! We couldn't put it down and wished it was on amazon and Goodreads so we could share it with our readers. We hope that this changes soon. This was a great young adult adventure that will make you ask the hard questions.

What would you do if everything you knew was destroyed? Would you have the strength to fight back for what's important? These are the questions our heroine in this book must answer. Full of adventure, and intrigue, I would recommend this book to all who love a YA adventure.
