When the Lights Go Out by Mary Kubica

3.0

Another great read from Mary Kubica that is really really good & compelling & engaging until the last ~3 chapters and then I just stopped caring. This one is hard to describe without ruining the “twist” but I’ll at least say that it was underwhelming for me. The entire book has a great slow build of chaos that kept the pages turning but ultimately it fell flat for me instead of ending in some satisfying, crazy way.
Technically, because of the nature of the twist, there are not loose ends to this story but as a reader who bought into the tale I feel a bit short changed.
