Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton
5.0
This book was so refreshing. It has a post-apocalyptic setting and it includes our real history surrounding the hurricane that struck New Orleans. The characters are like none I have seen in the books I have read in the past 2 years. Kelly Keaton is brilliant in her usage of descriptive writing. She makes you feel as though you are right there on the French Quarter. I cannot wait to read the next book.
Having said that, while I read for my own pleasure, I also read so that I can recommend books for my students to read. This book has very strong language. I do not understand why Keaton felt she had to use the "f" word and "g d" throughout the book. It would have been wonderful on its own merit. Because of the language, I cannot recommend this book to my students, but if you are an adult, and you can look past the language, you won't regret reading it.
