Dark Lands: Requiem (Dark Lands #1)
It's just amazing, I loved to read it
I won this book in a Giveaway. A very nice start to this YA series. Good world and character building. This story takes place on a Purgatory-like world, where certain souls come to help in the fight against the Dark Man. When souls arrive here, they wake up with a special power, given to them for the fight to keep the Dark Man from returning to the living world. I read quite a few indie books, and books published by smaller publishers, and this is one of the better written ones I have come
Love the concept on this story. Each chapter leaves you wanting more and the creativity and imagination really shows on the thought out into creating such unique worlds and characters. Cant wait to continue the series. Two thumbs up for me.
Note: I was provided with a copy of this book by the author for review.I was intrigued by the premise of this story, a limbo-type world where youre dead but havent moved on. The battle for good and evil rages on and these two siblings have been pulled into the fight upon their untimely deaths. Our introduction to the world is filled with immediate danger and suspense and with no baseline anything could quite possibly happen.There isnt a lot of depth in the characters but you almost dont notice
I need to preface this review with an apology. I have sat on this book for longer than I intended to, and for that I apologise.So to the book. Well, you are thrown into the action right from the first page. And the confusion felt by the characters translates well from the page to the reader.The story continues strongly, and although I found Webb to be frustrating as a character, I anticipate that this may have been the expected response to a well observed depiction of the predicted reaction
A young brother and sister find themselves in a wondrous and terrifying world in-between life and what comes next. The only thing they recognize is each other and from that running jump, the story quickly moves into what might be. I cant really fathom which is worse; stuck in tweenhood, or the choices you must make to move on, beyond, or ahead of our present conscious reality. The characters are varied, sympathetic, misunderstood and deal with all the confusing possibilities of real life, and

Webb Thompson awakes, disoriented and fearful. He sees green grass and a black, boiling sky spread out before him. He finds his little sister nearby, unconscious. When he reaches her side, Sundown is alive. But now they have other problems: where are they, how did they get there, and what is that growling noise? Webb and Sundown have awakened in the Dark Lands-a world between life and death where sacred souls battle malevolent evil for control of the living realm, a battle of which mere mortals know nothing. How did Webb and Sundown come to this place? Are they living? Are they dead? Or are they something else? Webb and Sundown will soon discover mystical abilities within themselves, abilities they will need to practice and perfect because evil is growing. His name is the Dark Man, an ancient evil, but one new to the Dark Lands. His very presence threatens to destroy the fabric of the Dark Lands, the living world and of time itself. The battle lines have been drawn. The war is soon to begin. . .List Books In Pursuance Of Dark Lands: Requiem (Dark Lands #1)

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.Likes: There was something truly unique about this book but at the same time there was something familiar about it. I cant put my finger on it exactly, but I truly enjoyed this book. The characters are diverse and believable. Sundown and Webb must deal with not only the fact they are now in a purgatory like world but also that they are part of some big good versus evil plot. The world building is fantastic. Many interestingIt's just amazing, I loved to read it
