Title: Dead of Night
Author: Carlyle Labuschagne
Genre: Young Adult Dystopian Romance
Publisher: Hallowed Ink Press

Blurb: 

In a dark and desolated After Earth, love still does exist, but the cost of bearing such a flaw is death.
World War III has left Earth in utter turmoil. People’s beliefs are said to be the cause of the worldwide destruction. After The Clearing new laws are set about - to show certitude in anything besides the law is weak and chargeable as mutiny. To be illogical and have faith in religion is illegal, to be limitless is dangerous. And Illness is seen as a defect – all flaws that are inexcusable.

But to love is the greatest betrayal of all mankind. It is a fault the world has long forgotten and punishable by death, a fatal risk Aecker and Opel are fully prepared to take - because in love there is freedom. But how far can they push back before it claims their lives and of those they care about?

My Review: I am at a loss of words. Dead of night literally blew me away. This book was so awesome I don't know how to put it into words. I truly enjoyed every last second of reading this story. I devoured it in 3 hours and now I wish I had stopped and savored it a little while longer. Aecker and Opel the two main characters in the story have such a bond a deep connection that just makes you want to hide them away from the rest of the world to keep them safe. They are so well written that they leap off the page as you follow them through out the story. I can not tell you enough about how much I enjoyed Dead of Night. I will be singing it's praises for a long time. to come. This book is one of the best I have read in a very long time. I won't tell you about the story for fear of giving it away however, I will tell you that if you haven't read it yet you need to. Carlyle Labuschagne is a very talented writer and I very much so look forward to reading what she next has in store for us next.
