This is the first time I’ve read anything written by Tanith Morse, here writing style is excellent, the plot and character were well written and I found I couldn’t put this novel down.
We first meet Samantha and Elliot on Halloween night as young children out trick or treating and they are kidnapped. Elliot begs the kidnappers to let Samantha go and he will be good and do what they say, and of course Samantha is let go. For Samantha this incident has left her with a lifetime of guilt. Now years later Elliot has still never been found and Samantha struggles to move on.
Starting a new school Sam meets a few new friends and for the first time in a very long time Sam thinks maybe she should try to accept their friendship. Sam knows everyone knows who she is as her kidnapping case was very public. This publicity has led her to be a very closed off and second guess most people as they usually want something from her, but Sam takes a chance with Becky and Frasier.
Out one night Sam and Becky meet a young man Lee and Becky falls for him immediately, of course Sam being a bit more reserved doesn’t say much but she feels an instant attraction to Lee.
Lee is what one would call mysterious and of course both girls are drawn to this. Sam quietly and secretly tries to figure him out and of course this leads to trouble. There is something about Lee that makes Sam wonder who he is and why is he so secretive and moody.
I was quite shocked when I started reading Super Dark, as I wondered why I hadn’t heard of this series, it’s a bit of paranormal, mystery and full of deep dark secrets. The story pulls you in and you can’t stop reading as you need to know what is going on. I love a good mystery.
I have rated Super Dark a 4 star rating and cannot wait to read the next book in this series, Tanith Morse has written a great first novel and this series is one I intend to read to see what happens to Sam, Lee and their friends.
