I cannot remember the last time I felt so much tension and anxiety while reading a book. The action is fast-paced and the horrors do not cease. Addy, the main character, has night blindness which is something that I also deal with and her foray into darkness and the horrors with in had me enthralled. 

I love a good creature feature but they aren't easy to write well. I was delighted to find that there was so much depth in this one. Not only was this an action packed creature horror, it was a story of a woman finding her voice and herself along the way. It's been days since I've finished this book and I'm still thinking about it. I cannot wait to read more by this author.
