Her stories are suspenseful yet have a human element. All these excerpts give us a detailed idea of Parry’s masterful writing style. She also includes the first few chapters from Dark Country, Dead Heart, and Darkening Skies. Parry helpfully includes an excerpt from As Darkness Falls to entice her readers. Those who have not will find themselves intrigued about Isabelle’s life after reading Dear Ruth. Those who had already read As Darkness Falls would truly enjoy reading about Patrick and Ruth’s first encounter. The book follows Isabelle O’Connell and Alec Goddard.
