The story itself was interesting but there were major issues with her writing that made it difficult for me to finish this book. She was using a lot of words either totally wrong or just in a way that seemed awkward in the sentence. This book needed some serious editing as well. Also, the plot involved the main character not remembering key details and followed her as she tried to understand what was happening which is fine, but the information that was given was scattered, sometimes repeated, and just all around confusing. It was hard to follow what she knew and what was assumed. And often when the book finally started to get on course it would veer right off again. I would recommend this book only to those able to overlook amateur writing style and plotting. Well I downloaded Darkness Falls for free along with a bunch of other free books and after reading one or two and not being horribly impressed with any of them I decided to try Darkness Falls. I liked the cover and it sounded interesting and now I'm so glad I read it. Kayla is an interesting chracters. She's strong and driven to question. Caring yet sometimes a bit cold and aloof. She's very much different from the rest of the people in the Colony. For one she questions authority and likes to take risks whereas everyone else keeps their heads down and their minds closed. She's also got a secret or secrets and everytime I think I have her or the plot figured out something new will happen making me realize I don't have a clue what's going on. This is a great book with lots of twists, a deep mystery, action and characters that feel and act real. As unbelievable as the setting is, it never actually feels unreal or unbelievable. Nothing seems forced and I found myself reading this book in one sit through. Darkness falls isn't your average small sized book you normally get for free or dirt cheap on Kindle. It's actually a fairly decent sized book. Sometimes I'm amazed that certain books sell so well like Maze Runner (which in my opinion had an excellent idea but poor execution) while really great books like Darkness Falls are self published. This book deserves to be on the book shelf just as much if not more so than alot of the YA Urban Fantasy/sci fi type books you find in stores such as Maze Runner or Perseus Jackson and the Olympians. It's a much better story and just as well written. I actually just bought the second book today and I'm enjoying it just as much as I did the first. Give it a try, it's free. You have nothing to lose and might actually find yourself in a world you enjoy. The book itself is very slow. There is so much back and forth on who is what, born or created, human or not, it makes you almost want to chuck the book. And the whining? So much whining and lying. But the real reason I couldn't give the book 3 stars is because of the horrible editing, missing words, and misuse of words. There were so many mistakes, but the one that sticks out right now is the use of there/their. Those two words are NOT the same. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"When the disease spread through the world, people had no choice but to go into hiding. The Colony is hidden deep underground, far away from the vampires-humans that were transformed by the disease. The vampires are hideous, starving, and they will kill any human they come across. Seventeen-year-old Kayla is a Bellator, a warrior that protects The Colony. In order to survive, there are three rules she must follow: Rule #1-Never go out after dark. Rule #2-Always carry a weapon. Rule #3-No matter what, never EVER get bit. But what happens when the rules Kayla has always lived by can no longer apply? The Highers run The Colony and accept nothing less than perfection. One slip up can mean death. Kayla has always worked hard to follow the rules and strive for perfection. But during a moment of weakness, she lets her imperfections show. Her punishment is worse than death. She is chosen for The Gathering and is thrown out into a world full of starving vampires. No one has ever survived The Gathering, at least that's what Kayla's been told. But when she runs into a group who insist they were once part of The Gathering, Kayla discovers the Highers have been keeping secrets. Secrets that could lead to a cure."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Would have really liked it, but the outright moronic grammar mistakes annoys me. Words missing, misplaced words, sometimes "then" is used instead of "than." ( )
