Wow!!! I opened up When Darkness Loves Us to read a few pages before watching tv and going to sleep. I never watched tv, and  I stayed up way too late to finish this book. It hooked me immediately. I wonder if my family could hear me muttering, “Oh no…oh no…” It’s important to know this book is actually two different stories. I saw a couple people mention they didn’t realize, and they were super confused halfway through the second story. Anyway, huge thanks to Grady Hendrix for putting this book and author on my radar!
