Will’s uncle Adam dies in very unusual circumstances. Will has dreams that repeat and set him to follow clues left by his uncle. This will be a dangerous quest. He thought he was safe in Canberra, a domed city but dark forces are at play. When his best friend is taken he must try to find her and save her.

Very well written and narrated (I listened to the audiobook). Great characters in this well paced, action packed and intriguing novel. Dreams hold cryptic clues but can dreams be experienced with others and are you safe in them? Very good, enjoy.

Comes the Night is set in a futuristic Canberra, Australia where people live under domes to help them survive from the ruined environment. Not everyone agrees with the way Domes have been erected and on the Northern Hemisphere they don’t live in domes. This of course leads to disagreements and tensions between the two ways of life.

Within the Dome we meet Will who’s uncle has recently died in his sleep and who’s best friends twin has been taken away to work on a government project without much details being available to the family.
Will’s uncle has left a few clues for him to send him on a bit of a treasure hunt, just like he always did when he was alive. Testing Wills skills and abilities. But where will these clues lead him, this time? Were the previous hunts a lead up to one final set of clues?
With his kite, his best friend and his dreams, Will sets out to figure out what his uncle was trying to tell him before he died.

This story is very atmospheric, and the world is vividly described throughout the story.
the book deals with loss, grief, growing up, and figuring out who you are.

Perfect audiobook for all teenagers and up. Futuristic urban thriller set in Australia after the effects of climate change. Nicely paced, interesting characters, great plot. I was quickly sucked into Will’s life and the puzzles thrown in his way. A teenager with the normal teenage issues, but he is also dealing with the loss of his uncle. Maybe his recurring nightmares might suggest things aren’t quite right. Thank you to Bolinda Audio and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.
