Drowning in the Dark is the first novel in The Demon Walks trilogy, and a refreshing twist on the zombie apocalypse genre. Unfortunately, I can't really say more on that refreshing twist without giving away spoilers and I definately don't want to do that! There was a lot of suspense in this story, with bits and pieces of information given out as the story progresses. At the beginning, Samantha's past was a little murky with more questions than answers that explained her and how she came to be where she was. Those questions were by and large answered by the end, and the suspense in getting there was fun, There were a lot of unexpected little twists right to the end. And even though I guessed at the cliffhanger end, getting there was still enjoyable. It will be interesting how the next book in the series takes the cliffhanger and runs with it. I gave it 3.5 mugs.
