Multi-volume and multi-genre author, J. L. Higgs, introduces us to Escape from Darkness:
The United Earth Charity has a challenge on its hands. Is Corey, one of their workers, having recurring nightmares of a past she doesn't remember? Ginny recognises the dangerous possibility and sets to work protecting her friend and bringing about some revenge on the Spider Web in the process. What she discovers sheds some light on her dark past and strengthens her resolve to fight for others caught up in the Web's dark chains.
Can Ginny break free from the darkness that holds her captive within?
Together, they find there is more than one form of Darkness they must escape.
Betrayal is a darkness of the soul.

Woohoo! If I was allowed only one word, that is the one. This is some great writing. I love this story and the way it is written.
Higgs makes excellent use of First Person POV. You are the person, and that kind of intimacy is not easily created. Her scenes and settings leave little to be desired. With a full slate of characters good and bad, this story will keep you on the edge of your seat. Action, dialogue and everything move the story forward relentlessly. The plot gets thicker, more twisted, and at the end there is some serious shock waiting for you!
I enjoyed this book so much, I agonized with the characters, mourned the defeats and celebrated the victories! Escape from Darkness gets 5/5 stars!
I am pleased to share that a third volume is in the works, with a working title of “Eyes in the Dark”.

This sounds so intriguing! I'm terrified of spiders, so even the cover has me squirming. Nice work!
