No one was prepared for the darkness. After the sudden passing of her mother, Melaney Carter needed to travel hundreds of miles from her home to deal with her newly inherited property.

Still, it was a trip she desperately needed to get away from her obsessed ex-boyfriend, and from her upcoming exams, she wasn't even a little ready to take. When a solar storm wipes out the power grid, Mel is thrust into a disaster she wasn't at all prepared for, nor something she would have ever expected.

Sudden Darkness is a thrilling apocalyptic novel about ordinary people who are faced with the end of the world and the collapse of society as we know it.
