Ms Phoenix has done it again. This book was out of this world (pun intended :P) and I could not get enough of it. A spectacular adventure that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.When Night Falls follows Scarlett and her friends. They are among a few thousand that are the only survivors after Earth was destroyed. Floating through space, they hope to one day find another planet to call home.I loved the array of characters in this book. Scarlett is different to the author's other heroins. She is more quite, not as snarky. But I still really liked her. She is a great fighter and has a good head on her. Her friend Hunter I adored! He is like the ultimate best friend. The relationship between these two is something to envy. Rolf, the love interest, holy wow. As you all know, Ms Phoenix creates some droll-worthy leading men and Rolf was no exception. He was just yum. I loved watching the relationship between him and Scarlett grow. Another character that I grew a soft spot for was Mac. He was such a sweetie. One character I had no love for was Kiera. I really did not like that girl but darn Ms Phoenix for making me feel sorry for her when we got a bit of her back-story near the end of the book. I was all happy to hate her. I still don't like her but now I feel sorry for her.The story itself was very fast-paced. Jam-packed with action, I wasn't bored for even a second. A word of warning. This book is not for the faint hearted. Gory doesn't even begin to cover it. I was kept up at night not just because I was hooked but because this book was gonna give me nightmares! Like seriously, Airicka does not sugar coat the blood and violence. So you've been warned. You might want to read this book with all the lights on. This book also really got to me in the sense that I felt so claustrophobic while reading it. These people are in space! They had no where to hide and I was freaking out over this!So overall this book was just all kinds of awesome. The 100 meets The Walking Dead, When Night Falls is a heart-pounding thrill ride that will stay with you long after you have turned the last page. I cannot wait for book 2!
