The concept behind the story is excellent - Some government secret and a scientific anomaly where the sun remains hidden for days at a time. There are elements of suspense and a romantic twist with the leading characters.

The delivery of the story, however, leaves much to be desired. The characters bond too quickly- in only a quick meeting the rich tycoon and scared government agent are head over heals for each other and need to trust each other with their lives. The romance is superficial show more and the dialogue feels artificial. For example, in almost every conversation the characters have, they say each others name. In real life we hardly ever do this. When we talk to each other, it's rare to repeat the person's name who you are speaking to in each sentence.

Some of the scientific details seemed incorrect. For example, 3 days without the sun would not harm most plants. I wasn't sure why all of Earth's natural vegetation would die if the sun would not come up for three days.

Lots of characters are thrown around, but the reader never really gets to meet them or understand their significance.

There are some grammatical issues (like incorrect use of "your" vs. "you're")

I read this with an open mind and really wanted to like the book, but while I think the author has an excellent concept for a story, this iteration of those ideas fell short for me.

Disclosure: I received this book for free from Goodreads, however this had no impact on my review. I rated the story for the quality with which it was written. show less
