About this ebook

 How far would you go to save your family?
Midsummer used to be a day of feasts and bonfires. A day when cares were set aside for the joy of grass between our toes, warm hands in our palms, laughter in our hearts. Our celebrations dimmed with the light. Something upset the balance of our woods. Something so deep that even our bonfires can't lure the sun back. And he has something to do with it. Of that we're sure, which is why I'm being given to him.

Darkling is K.M. Rice's suspenseful debut novel about a young woman's sacrifice to save her village and the unexpected strength that comes from first love.

Ratings and reviews

It's a lovely story! Plenty of suspense and is good about making you feel like you know the characters. I both giggled and cried with the super relatable characters.

A strange insta love story. Good premise but terrible execution. The writing is choppy and the world building is lacking.
