Terri Blackstock · 2009
75/100
👍 Worth It

When the power goes out for good, Blackstock doesn't just build a survival thriller — she makes you sit with the real question of whether you'd share your last can of food with a stranger. The suspense holds up chapter to chapter, and there's a killer in the mix to keep you honestly on edge. A gripping, thoughtful opener to a series worth following.
