Take the Twilight Zone, set it in a strange motel off a mysterious exit on the highway and give it a quirky proprietor who has one foot in the world of the living, and the other in the land of the dead and you've got Barbara Avon's Owl Eyes Motel.

Even if the truth lies somewhere between what Kennedy documents in this book and what Fauci, Gates, the government health bureaucracy and big pharma claims, everyone needs to question what we were told.

Darkness falls follows Quinn and her sister, Riley, as they try to survive after an ecological disaster takes the lives of their parents while on the way to their annual summer vacation. The girls manage to hold out for a while, but quickly realize they can't stay in their aunt's rental trailer forever. They meet up with a group of teenagers also stranded by the storms and earthquakes that are devastating the eastern seaboard, hoping to join forces so they can all get home.

But then Riley disappears in the night, and now Quinn's only goal is to find her. But first she has to survive. Roads are closed due to mass collisions, bridges are out, services are unavailable. When a member of their group is injured, that makes the journey all the more challenging as they face gun-toting homeowners, and nefarious strangers taking advantage of the societal disruption. The novel is a compelling, page-turner with short chapters and likable characters that keep the story moving along.

Although Darkness Falls is a well-written story with characters you can identify with and root for, I do wish there was a little more of the promised ecological fury unleashed by an angry Earth. We see the aftermath, and flashback to the inciting incident and there are a few scenes with genuine jeopardy, yet there are times I wish the peril was more present and on a larger scale. BUT, that is based on my personal bias and expectations of the genre. This is the first book in a series, and Faulkner does hint at the promise of more disasters to come in the sequels--which this book will leave you wanting to read!

The theme of a man in constant unbelief of his circumstances is masterfully executed. Some of the voices performed by the narrator fall short of the description of the characters, but don't let that spoil your enjoyment of this incredible tale.
