Us Dark Few by Alexis Patton ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I read this in one sitting!

If you give me a dystopian world where the sun is a luxury and everyone survives underground, I’m sold. But Us Dark Few is so much more than a survival story. It’s about finding poetry in the dark and family in the most suffocating places.

Most of the story takes place within the walls of a prison, and you can feel that tension on every page. Watching the fierce, stubborn FMC hold onto her heart and her humanity in a place as brutal as Braderhelm was everything. She is just so authentically herself. The connection between her and the Captain is pure fire, even in the coldest of cells.
The found family trope is the only thing that brings light to such a gritty world. My heart was constantly swinging between heartbreak and hope.

That plot twist at the end, though… I’m still processing. If you need me, I’ll be starting the sequel immediately.

Tropes:
🖤 Enemies to Lovers
🖤 "Who did this to you?" vibes
🖤 Dystopian survival
🖤 Found Family
🖤 Top-tier banter

"There could be endless versions of you, and I'd love each one as fervently and entirely." 🔪🖤
