Bea Crenshaw is secretly prepared for the end of the world - but when the worst case scenario happens when her grandchildren are visiting with her husband and children out of town, how far will she have to go to protect her family?
t can be argued that apocalyptic fiction is quite a saturated market at the moment, from zombies and plagues to nuclear weapon destruction, there's a lot of titles on the market that can all be quite similar so it is hard to get one to stand out. If Darkness Takes Us is a really refreshing take on this genre and one I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. There is less emphasis on what actually happened or the global impact of the disaster, but instead we are fully invested in Grandmother Bea Crenshaw's quest to keep her grandchildren safe and help her small American town survive.
Bea is a fantastic main character; she has her secrets, she has some grit and she has her flaws as well. She's a strong woman let down by the failures of age who is just trying to do the best for the ones she loves. The plot itself isn't afraid to hit some hard punches and the ending in particular is heart-breaking and has stayed with me.
Overall If Darkness Takes Us is one of my favourite post-apocalyptic thrillers and one that has stayed with me long after finishing it - highly recommended. Thank you to NetGalley & Southern Fried Karma for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
