The beginning of Out of the Darkness promises an otherworldly twist to this novel, but the rest of the book does not deliver. Sarah's cousin Davey has a prominent role at the outset, but really just fades away as the book progresses. The dialogue does not flow easily, as it seems forced in places. Great suspense novels provide readers with a roller coaster ride, as the book hits peaks and valleys to amp up the thrilling moments. Out of the Darkness is a little too flat, resulting in a novel that does not shock or dismay. Overall, the book had good characterization, resulting in a group of people that readers can cheer for. Readers who like suspense, especially with romantic aspects, may enjoy Out of the Darkness.
