This story is very different from many others I've read. Even though it's a post apocalyptic story within a vast world, it's very personal and intimate. Anyone who has a small child or someone they truly love in their lives this story will resonate with you in a very personal way.

The mother daughter dynamic in this is so pure. You feel the love, hope and protectiveness someone has for someone they love, that unconditional love.

It reminded me of my relationship with my four year old niece. I fel

There are times in a reader's life when they know they've read That Book. The book that they will never forget, the book they know were they to read again, it would be just as devastating as the first time. This is one of those books for me. The relationship between the MCs, Mama and Lilly, is a real one, complicated, made of love, guilt, fierceness, and even cowardice. Beautiful and ugly with a string of Riley's feminist strength woven throughout. And the world she's placed them in is well thou ...more

Out of the dark absolutely stole my breath away from the very first page. This story is dark, and painful. Beautifully written to life by the amazingly talented Claire C. Riley. This is a story that will cling to my soul long after I had turned the last page.

This world was built in a way that it felt REAL to me. Out of the Dark gives new meaning to the things that go "bump in the night" and it's terrifying. I now feel fully validated for sleeping with a nightlight on! And honestly out of all th

Out of the dark is one of those books that tears your heart apart from the beginning to the end. I’m starting to think she enjoys torturing her readers. She’s a sadist for sure.

From the very beginning of Out of the Dark, you are given this sense of despair that you aren’t entirely sure where it’s coming from, you just know that it’s there. As the story goes on, the horrors of this world are revealed, and let me tell you, they sound disgusting and terrifying.
The story follows a woman and her da

Where do you begin to review a book that has left you so emotionally drained? I felt as if I had been on an amusement park worth of rides after reading this book. I did the reading in two separate nights, all the while I did not know how I could read the next chapter, even though I also did not know how I could not. Every page, every paragraph, all I wanted to know was will they, could they survive this world, could they survive the monsters, could they survive each other. How do you have hope a ...more

Out of the Dark, while a post-apocalyptic horror, is a very intimate love story. Not a typical love story though. This is the love story of a childless mother and a motherless child, one who is still willing to give unconditional love and protection, the other desperate to receive love and protection.

This duo, the main characters in the book--and nearly the only two characters in the book--journey toward living another day in the sun. They rely on each other so much so that it is inconceivable t

Get your flashlight and candles ready. Claire takes you on an emotional roller coaster with this one. Monsters, love, hate, dark, light, and more. Lilly is a small girl that is found by “Mama”, and together they survive the nights, the darkness that the monsters rule over and hunt in. Be prepared to experience every emotion possible while reading this one. Especially if you are a mother, it will hit you in the gut and stay with you for a long time.

I have had to really think about what to say in this review because this book is one that will stick with me for a long time. It is set in a post apocalyptic world with most the population being monsters. The monsters in this book apparently terrified me as I had nightmares the whole week while reading this. The story between mother and child set in this world is agonizing, heartwrenching, and beautiful. There are statements made in this book that made me stop and apply them in my own real life. ...more
