Description
In this sequel to the critically-acclaimed novel that grabbed fans of X-Files and Stranger Things, Jeremy Finley returns with another thriller full of aliens and government cover-ups.
For most of his life, William Chance has been the living proof that his grandmother and her fellow researchers into missing people were right all along about the terror from the stars. Now, he’s avoiding the limelight and hiding out from everyone, including his family. He knows he can avoid everything, except for the nightmares: fires, storms, disease and violence – he dreams of it all.
When he’s suddenly exposed, he finds that the media, government operatives and renegade true believers are desperate to find him, but he has another mission. Joined by a girl with terrifying abilities, he begins a desperate journey across the United States to find the others who share his dreams to stop what could be the final days of the world.
Jeremy Finley’s debut The Darkest Time of Night was called “outstanding” in a starred review from Publishers Weekly and was a June 2018 SIBA Okra Selection. Now, he continues the story of Lynn and William, fifteen years later in a new fast-paced novel full of suspense and government cover-ups, perfect for thriller and supernatural fans alike.

When I saw the NetGalley description for The Dark Above I was so intrigued I read the first book, The Darkest Time of Night and couldn’t put it down. I was anxious to read the Dark Above and it didn’t disappoint.
William is now 22 and in hiding after discovering he is the conduit for all the human weapons the aliens have created. Slowly realizing the power he holds, and how to best use it, he comes in contact with the other 4 human weapons and an eccentric billionaire who believes in him. Meeting special members of the powerful Corcillium organization that his grandmother works for, he is constantly evading capture by the government SSA group, who want nothing more than to secretly lock himself and the other alien humans up forever. In the meanwhile his grandmothers, Lynn and Roxi are working behind the scenes to bring the government plans to light.
Up until the last few pages I thought there had to be a third book, and the story could not be completed, but the plot is tied up beautifully, and the epilogue has a kicker, which keeps the door open for a welcomed third edition.
