Rendition During Books Darkling
How far would you go to save your family?Midsummer used to be a day of feasts and bonfires. A day when cares were set aside for the joy of grass between our toes, warm hands in our palms, laughter in our hearts. Our celebrations dimmed with the light. Something upset the balance of our woods. Something so deep that even our bonfires can't lure the sun back. And he has something to do with it. Of that we're sure, which is why I'm being given to him.
DARKLING is K.M. Rice's suspenseful debut novel about a young woman's sacrifice to save her village and the unexpected strength that comes from first love.

They all remember having sunlight, flowers, animals, but the lack of sun destroys all the living things. Soon after this is established the plot is fastly moving on. This book was
Not as amazing as the reviews make one believe. It was kind of a horror book, which I don't particularly get into. The writing was choppy, which I think was intentional, but I didn't like it. I think the main character fell in love much too quickly. It ends happy, which is nice after reading about such horrible things from page 1. And I felt lots of the supernatural things were left unexplained, which bothered me.
I wasn't prepared for what this book was actually going to be like compared to what I thought it was going to be from just the summary alone, but what it was was amazing. It's been a long time since I'd read a book that wrote horror so well in the suspenseful parts as this one did, along with the ongoing theme of grief and being brave enough to love. I was wholly unprepared for how bittersweet this book was going to be, but I feel like by reading it, I'd gone down a path that had me explore a
