I received this book as an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. I didn't even read what the book was about, but gladly accepted because I'm a big fan of her Serenity Series. The idea to the storyline is excellent. Homeless people living underground in London. Tom, unbeknownst to him, grew up there. He has no recollection of his past, and now 30 years later is approached by someone from then. David, Toms 7 year old son is dying of leukemia, but he is also infected with the "Shadows". Tom must return to the underlife in hopes of finding the way to save his son. My problem with the storyline is way too much time was spent on the traveling of the underground. Chapter after chapter of them moving around making their way to the "Shadows". I just felt like too much time was wasted with the travel, there should've been more about the characters, less about the darkness and tunnels. Overall, not bad at all. Some pretty scary and anxiety filled moments. And who doesn't love a happy ending?!
