Blog Tour: The Darkness All Around Us – Megan Boley

A scientist on the run—accompanied by her quippy teenage sidekick and a punk rock Indiana Jones—fights for survival in a dark dystopian world while battling to destroy a nefarious company before it unleashes a nightmare army.

Perfect for fans of Resident Evil + Zombieland!

When Stella’s hideout is overrun by a horde of creatures straight out of a zombie movie, she must survive the surrounding war zone and outwit a murderous gang as she fights to rescue her kidnapped friend before he falls victim to the company’s deadly experiments.

But the evils of her past are hunting her down. And time is running out. She must decide how far she’s willing to go to save her friend and stop the company before it spreads its war to the rest of the world—even if it means teaming up with the very people who want her dead.
And time is running out. The company’s plans are nearly complete…

The first installment in a duology of science fiction thrillers, this gripping post-apocalyptic dystopian book is perfect for fans of The Walking Dead, Resident Evil, Zombieland, Aeon Flux, Mad Max, and The Last of Us.

keep things nice and interesting.

My thoughts: Stella is just trying to survive the zombie apocalypse, that the company she used to work for started. When a teenage boy called Quentin crashes her hideout, and like a puppy, she feels the need to adopt him and try to keep him out of trouble. She’s not the only one!

Teaming up with a few other survivors, she aims to find her friend Silas and then the way out of what used to be New York, and America, into Canada. But things don’t go quite to plan.

Stella’s smart, she knows her former employer’s systems, and now she’s helping to hack in and bring it down from the inside. Maybe even save some lives if the drug that turns people into cannibals is no longer available.

It took me a little while to get into this, but I loved Quentin, he’s like the naughty little brother I (thankfully) don’t have. The other characters all add something to the team, and they’re a quirky bunch.

Book two coming soon….
