Book Review: No Dawn Without Darkness - Dayna Lorentz

Awesome series, seriously, they need to start making plans to turn this series into a movie. It takes a really deep look into human nature and how crazy we can sometimes get when faced with disaster and confinement. 

Throughout the series, the story is told from different characters' points of view, and while you may not agree with some of their actions, you can understand why. 

I can't remember how I stumbled upon this series, but it was right around when the first book came out. I read the synopsis and found out it takes place in a mall. I worked in a mall office at the time (and when the second book came out) so it struck me as interesting. And yeah, with the ever increasing violence in our country, I'm fully aware of all the things that can go down in a mall - spreading some deadly toxic or virus airborne with the HVAC system is probably one of the scariest scenarios. 

But yes, read this series, especially now that the last book is out, you won't have that painful wait in between each one like I did.

From the GoodReads website: "Perfect for fans of Life As We Knew It and Michael Grant'sGone--this conclusion to the No Safety in Numbers trilogy will make your heart race, your palms sweat, and will leave you wondering exactly what you'd be willing to sacrifice in order to survive.

First--a bomb released a deadly flu virus and the entire mall was quarantined.

Next--the medical teams evacuated and the windows were boarded up just before the virus mutated.

Now--the power is out and the mall is thrown into darkness. Shay, Marco, Lexi, Ryan, and Ginger aren't the same people they were two weeks ago. Just like the virus, they've had to change in order to survive. And not all for the better. When no one can see your face, you can be anyone you want to be, and, when the doors finally open, they may not like what they've become.

If you think it's silly to be afraid of the dark, you're wrong.
Very wrong."
