Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Darkness Falls in Books
Aug 25, 2018
As a major fan of dystopian fiction and lesbian fiction Darkness Falls is the best of both worlds! Each character is unique and developed there is no unnecessary fluff it all flows. The event that causes the world to collapse is plausible, which is important to me in my dystopian fiction. The reactions of the characters is also realistic. From the resourceful ones to those in denial. I highly recommend this book and believe you should have K.C. Luck on your list of up and coming authors to watch out for!

I have been putting this book off for 2 years now and I have to say, I'm slightly disappointed in myself. Red Rising by Pierce Brown drips with all the goodies that Dystopian novels promise. The characters were interesting and I loved that there were mind games, physical games, and just some well written fight scenes.
I liked the plot but it did seem to borrow from many of the dystopian books I have read in the past. It became almost a game to compare books. That is the main reason I am giving this a 4 star review. I loved the plot but it did feel a little like a mashup of all of the recent and past dystopian books.
All in all, I enjoyed the characters the most and the plot was intriguing when I didn't feel like it was copying different books.

Dystopian Future
The Man Who You Dont Want To Mess With
What a great way to start of a franchise. The action, the suspense, the drama, the adventure, the dystopian, the revenge and of course Max. You dont want to mess around with him. Cause he will find you and when he does he will kill you. He sets his target on you, and when he does you better run or hide, cause like i said he will kill you.
The plot: In a not-too-distant dystopian future, when man's most precious resource -- oil -- has been depleted and the world plunged into war, famine and financial chaos, the last vestiges of the law in Australia attempt to restrain a vicious biker gang. Max (Mel Gibson), an officer with the Main Force Patrol, launches a personal vendetta against the gang when his wife (Joanne Samuel) and son are hunted down and murdered, leaving him with nothing but the instincts for survival and retribution.
I really like dystopian films, and just the idea of a post apolcyptic future, where survival is the key. And this film is one of them.
Its a must see film, if you haven't seen it.

This is a lot of genre's put together for me. I think it was MC and dystopian.. but also touched on the main character being bipolar.. I wasn't sure what to think a bout this one but it was good. The characters kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I loved how possessive Hastie was because he needed to be. The world that was created was very well written. I felt like I could see that world.. and how different it was. It was an interesting story and if you enjoy dystopian I would highly recommend it.
