As
nature tires of human destruction, two sisters must face a changing
environment that stands between them and survival.
When
Quinn and Riley set out on a family vacation with their parents, the
trip ends before it begins. Mother Nature interferes with their
plans, setting off a sequence of events that thrusts the teens into a
hostile landscape.
Stranded,
with limited supplies, struggling to figure out who they can trust
along the way, they must determine how to survive nature's evolving
fury.

“Aidan, man, we should probably get going soon,” Jeff says, pulling me
away from the threatening spiral of memories. His interruption
is a welcome distraction.
“You’re right,” Aidan says, his eyes locked with mine. “But before we
go, Quinn, you need to know, you’re not safe here. Do you have somewhere
else to go?”
“What are you talking about?” My head volleys back and forth between
the guys. Jeff runs a hand through his short brown hair and exhales a sigh.
He leans in conspiratorially and says in a hushed voice, “Look, we’ve been
checking out the unoccupied homes around here. You know, just borrowing
things to help us get by. But one of the trailers we went to, we thought it was
empty…”
Aidan finishes for him. “Quinn, one of your neighbors is dead. We thought
the trailer was vacant, so we went inside. We grabbed some canned food and
other stuff from the kitchen and then we went to the bedroom to see if there
were any blankets and pillows.”

Faulkner is a young adult dystopian author. Her debut novel, Darkness
Falls, is the first book in the Nature's Fury series, which explores
the Earth’s response to humans poisoning her streams, abusing her
animals and destroying her beauty.
She
has a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Millersville University
and a master’s degree in advertising, public relations &
journalism from Temple University.
Although
she escaped in books as a child, college textbooks sucked the fun out
of reading. Years later, The Hunger Games trilogy became the spark
that rekindled her love of books. After devouring that series, she
quickly became captivated by dystopian novels.
After
several years of reading them, she decided to take a stab at writing
one that combined her love for nature with her fear of human
destruction

Imagine nature fighting back at the way we destroy it. What an interesting idea. I think sometimes it does when we have the storms and rains other things we have no control over. Congratulations on your book, A E. Best of luck to you.
I absolutely love dystopian :) It's one of the genres that really got me interested in book blogging. I haven't heard of this one, though I've been in a bit of a slump lately. I'll have to pick it up and see :)
