    About this ebook

    When disease spread through the world, some humans became ravenous vampires. Those that didn't live in colonies underground.

    Kayla lives in a colony and is a Bellator, a warrior who fights vampires.

    There are three rules she has to follow if she wants to survive:

    Rule #1—Never go out after dark.

    Rule #2—Always carry a weapon.

    Rule #3—No matter what, never EVER get bit.

    But during a moment of weakness, she messes up and is left trying to survive in the world above.

    Then she meets Sylas, a gorgeous, charming human, who offers to help her. At least, that's what Kayla believes at first. But the longer she lives in the brutal world of vampires, the more she realizes nothing is what it appears to be, both above ground and under it.

      I liked this book. There is a lot of unknown with the plot and characters that makes it really interesting to read.
    • 2/5
      The story itself was interesting but there were major issues with her writing that made it difficult for me to finish this book.

      She was using a lot of words either totally wrong or just in a way that seemed awkward in the sentence. This book needed some serious editing as well.

      Also, the plot involved the main character not remembering key details and followed her as she tried to understand what was happening which is fine, but the information that was given was scattered, sometimes repeated, and just all around confusing. It was hard to follow what she knew and what was assumed. And often when the book finally started to get on course it would veer right off again.

      I would recommend this book only to those able to overlook amateur writing style and plotting.
    • 5/5
      Well I downloaded Darkness Falls for free along with a bunch of other free books and after reading one or two and not being horribly impressed with any of them I decided to try Darkness Falls. I liked the cover and it sounded interesting and now I'm so glad I read it.Kayla is an interesting chracters. She's strong and driven to question. Caring yet sometimes a bit cold and aloof. She's very much different from the rest of the people in the Colony. For one she questions authority and likes to take risks whereas everyone else keeps their heads down and their minds closed. She's also got a secret or secrets and everytime I think I have her or the plot figured out something new will happen making me realize I don't have a clue what's going on. This is a great book with lots of twists, a deep mystery, action and characters that feel and act real. As unbelievable as the setting is, it never actually feels unreal or unbelievable. Nothing seems forced and I found myself reading this book in one sit through. Darkness falls isn't your average small sized book you normally get for free or dirt cheap on Kindle. It's actually a fairly decent sized book.Sometimes I'm amazed that certain books sell so well like Maze Runner (which in my opinion had an excellent idea but poor execution) while really great books like Darkness Falls are self published. This book deserves to be on the book shelf just as much if not more so than alot of the YA Urban Fantasy/sci fi type books you find in stores such as Maze Runner or Perseus Jackson and the Olympians. It's a much better story and just as well written. I actually just bought the second book today and I'm enjoying it just as much as I did the first. Give it a try, it's free. You have nothing to lose and might actually find yourself in a world you enjoy.

      This is a dark, post-apocalyptic story about vampires. It has a good bit of action in the beginning but overall the plot is slow to develop and the main character is not very engaging or even likeable. It did keep me reading to learn more about the main character’s story and the different types of beings in this story.
