No one knows why it happened, but no one can forget the outcome of that
day—the day referred to as “the killing day.” One year after that day, another
unpredictable event occurs: a horrible storm destroys half the town and the
townspeople are cut off from the rest of the world. Now it seems as if the
killing day is coming back, but this time there may not be anyone left alive
when—if—it ends.
While I was hesitant to start reading it, I ended up really
enjoying the interesting story The Waking Dark told. I also like that
the point of view kept switching through characters to give a fuller picture of
what was going on, as well as adding several lines of stories to follow.
However, I do not think there were enough clues in the first half of the book
to justify the explanation behind what happened, which was frustrating as I
attempted to figure out the cause myself as I was reading.
HS – OPTIONAL.
