My Review:

Descent of Darkness grabbed my attention from the first page, and I held on to the end without a dull moment in between. Descent of Darkness took me on a slow ride until everything hit the fan. After that, my attention never left the story for one minute, as it had me racing to the end, rooting for Madison and Zane to find their way back to each other.

Madison and Zane’s lives were in turmoil when everything hit the fan. Their lives were falling apart. They have been falling apart ever since the day their little girl was taken from them.

The suspense of Madison and Zane’s story was slow to build. I kept waiting to know why their lives were falling apart, and when I finally found out, I was so sad. I was in tears, bawling my eyes out.

Learning about Madison and Zane’s loss was like a ball dropping, but when the EMP hit, it was like a bomb being dropped. I thought the story was going in one direction, but then the big picture shifted with more twists and turns. At this point, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I wanted to know more and more, way faster than I was getting it.

I highly recommend Descent of Darkness to all post-apocalyptic fans! Grab a copy of Descent of Darkness today!
