The heart-racing and thrilling conclusion to "The Darkness Series"

What if it’s always been there? Watching … Waiting …

Cherry Hollow has been plagued by The Darkness for more than two decades. Death, murder, infidelity, trauma, and severe mental health disorders … It all started in 1998 with the disappearance of a young boy. Or did it?

Now, another body has been discovered, hidden in the depths of Beaker Ravine, a place where The Darkness has been luring its victims for years. But this body is different. It’s older. It means The Darkness was around long before anyone even knew it existed …

Stephen Mallow, a London journalist, is back in town to discover the truth, despite vowing he’d never return. His own darkness has followed him, but even that won’t stop his unique and questioning mind from asking the difficult questions no one in town wants to answer.

Olivia and Graham are old friends, reunited after the discovery of the body. They’re now determined to lay their demons to rest. But why was no one reported missing all those years ago? And why has it taken more than forty years for the truth to be revealed?

Can The Darkness finally be destroyed and who will be the one to finally end it all?

Click PRE-ORDER NOW to grab this thrilling conclusion to The Darkness Series.

The Darkness That Came Before is the third and final book in “The Darkness Series”, a gripping and emotionally charged psychological thriller series that isn’t afraid to explore the darker side of mental health. If you’ve enjoyed the sinister series so far, then you won’t want to miss this explosive conclusion that will make you think twice before turning off the light. Perfect for thriller fans who prefer their books "creepy" rather than "bloody".

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Death of a spouse, cancer, talk of suicide, talk of child abuse, murder, death.

One town's darkness has a longer, twisted past

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Narrator Candance Fitzgerald returns for a final time to provide an eloquent performance to this harrowing series. The town of Cherry Hollow has already endured so much tragedy from the event that consumed the lives of Amber and her friend with the senseless death of Kieran and terrorized by a Darkness that wouldn't give any of them peace until finally forced to speak the truth of what happened. Sadly, it's not the first time a twisted Darkness took up residence within the town, as Brooke's mother Olivia and Detective Graham knew each as children and bath where a part of their own group of close friends that were a well haunted by their own demons that stole their childhoods just like it did 1998. And for Olivia and Graham face the one chance to make peace of what was done. And for reporter Stephen Mallow, the kind of story he unravels will leave him marked as those the Darkness targeted.


Highly recommended.

one wild ride

A great ending to a series of books! You would think that it be being a series that the books wouldn't be good but they only got better!!

This book shows you a little of how it all got started a little with the original 4 friends!!! And how they Darkness was semi formed!

And the 2 Alex's and Harriet was a wild add on! All 3 of them was just freaking insane!!

A Trilogy That Grips You Until the End

This was an outstanding conclusion to the trilogy! All three books in the series were captivating and kept me hooked from start to finish. I especially appreciated the recap in this final book—it was so helpful for recalling the characters and events from the previous two novels, making the story even more enjoyable. Plus, Candace Fitzgerald's narration was consistently excellent across all three books, adding an extra layer of immersion to the experience!

Deep psychological read!

The Darkness That Came Before by Jessica Huntley
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is book number 3 in The Darkness Series, and once again another excellent read!
This is a fantastic psychological read, with a lot of deepness and creep to the storyline!
There’s a darkness lurking in Cherry Hollow. Can this darkness be destroyed, and will Olivia and Graham find out exactly what this darkness really is?
This book touches on some mental illness, and contains great suspense and thrills!
As with the other books from Jessica Huntley, I was drawn in immediately and intrigued all the way through. It’s a super entertaining and intense book and a great conclusion for the series!

I listened to the audio version and the narrator is excellent!

*All 3 books are 5🌟 reads!! Check them all out!!*
