Description
The embodiment of the world's evil has but a single fear, one homeless girl.
Twenty-two year old Liz Linden and her nineteen year old brother, Jacob, have lived in the storm drains that run under Las Vegas for almost one year. There are many others living in the makeshift camps. She does her best to make their concrete camp into a home until she can save enough money to get them out of the tunnels and into an apartment.
Of late, her wish to get out has become desperate, as she's come to realize something else is down there--the offspring of malice and hypocrisy. It lives, it grows, and if not stopped, it will fully exist. It is the total of mankind's evils--The Darkest Sum.

I had a difficult time getting into the book and found myself skimming most of the middle part until I got to the end. There was a lot of exposition and explaining at the beginning, which got tedious to read through. I wasn’t able to connect to the characters and found the character (the brother) annoying. I wish I would have liked this more as the premise and story sounded interesting, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to connect or get into the storyline.

This book had some very creepy aspects to it. I actually really enjoyed the book. It had some very unique scenes but there were some spots that did drag on some but I still found that I really enjoyed this book.
So for that I did give the book at strong 3 stars. I think the world building could have been better for me but I did like the eeriness in some spots. Guess I wanted more from this book.
