2000s: When darkness is everywhere, nowhere is safe…
Lights Out
What you need to know before your trail
A state of emergency has been declared in the UK. From now on, at 8pm every night, all electricity cuts out.
The Government promises it’s a temporary measure. They promise they are always thinking of your safety.
But for Grace, the darkness is anything but safe.
Someone is coming into her house under its cover every night while she lies in bed upstairs, too terrified to sleep. Someone who knows her past, who knows why she has more reason to fear the dark than most…
And every morning she wakes to a new message from the intruder:
I have you in my sights. Love, The Night
But how can Grace escape, when there’s nowhere safe left to hide?
Travel Guide
Hull and Hessle, Yorkshire
The author says:
I knew that the setting for this book should in the north. Not only could I use the theme of a north/south divide and have London keeping the lights on while others suffer, but the grittiness of this area works well with the themes. And what better place than my home city of Hull and its surrounding areas? The River Humber is one of the most dangerous in the world, and the bridge is a symbol sadly of many lost lives and jumps.
