Reviews for Out of the Dark

[whybehave2002 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

An edge of the seat read all the way through. A real problem in society that makes everyone sick. Sharon Sala was brave to take it on. A heavy read but very well written.

I am on the last few chapters and have really enjoyed this book. It could be a tough book for some as it involves a difficult topic, child abuse. A brief synapsis on the book would be a girl kidnapped as a child by a mom who ran away to join a cult, and her life afterwards. I don't want to give too much away! Its fast paced with a strong story that makes it hard to put down.Happy reading everyone

good book but will make you mad but has a happy ending

[tiddleyboom · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Sharon Sala developed truly amazing characters and a horrific, but immensely readable, plotline. That said, when her characters begin to fall in love, every one of her books are the same. Maybe that's comfort for some readers. It's painful for me.
