Don't awaken what sleeps in the dark.
In a future ravaged by fire and drought, two climate refugees ride their motorcycles across the wasteland of the western US, and stumble upon an old silver mine. Descending into the cool darkness of the caved-in tunnels in desperate search of water, the two women find Lavinia Cain’s diary, a settler in search of prosperity who brought her family to Nevada in the late 1860s.
But Lavinia and the settlers of the Western town discovered something monstrous that dwells in the depths of the mine, something that does not want greedy prospectors disturbing the earth. Whispers of curses and phantom figures haunt the diary, and now, over 150 years later, trapped and injured in the abandoned mine, the women discover they’re not alone . . . with no easy way out.
The monsters are still here—and they’re thirsty.
My Review
The description of this book sounded very interesting so I had to give it a try.
I enjoyed the way the story itself was based on two timescales.
The characters were great. I just felt for them and I was frightened for them. I wanted them to escape the mine and most importantly I longed for them to escape it alive. Honestly it is frightening, you just don't know what is going to happen next for them and it is scary.
The book overall has an eerie feel to it. It captures your attention and imagination and you find that you imagining yourself there and it feels very claustrophobic.
A great read! Would definitely recommend this book.
