Dark Life (Volume 1)

"Dark Life is a fascinating tale which has an old-school charm. The author has an extraordinary talent for transporting us to an underwater world which still holds so much mystery for humanity. ...The imaginative power of this book really blew me away. The unusual descriptions and attention to oceanic detail were one of my favourite things about this book. It has a huge appeal for anyone remotely interested in sea life. ...Overall, a fascinating story which will take you to the far reach of the ocean floor. It will entertain you with its funny dialogue and have you rather enamoured of its hero. A great read which I definitely recommend!" The Bookette, 24th June 10
"Dark Life is a sparkling debut that captivated my imagination from first word to last. Kat Falls is a major new YA talent. The first part of Dark Life that I have to gush about is the breathtaking imagery ...You know, I think this is the first dystopian novel that actually sounds okay to live in. Kat Falls has managed to dream up a vision of the future that's completely original. Can you tell how much I love this yet? I believe Dark Life to be the beginning of a series, and though I think it works beautifully as a stand-alone novel, I'm waiting anxiously for another chance to read Kat Falls' writing."
