The Gathering Dark, by Christine Johnson
3.0
The Gathering Dark employs a lot of cliches tropes that are just tiresome at this point. The biggest stand-out is insta-love, but I can't hold that particular one against the book too much. The summary literally says that everything changes when she meets Walker, with whom she shares an "electric connection."
Apart from that, the characters aren't terrible and the world had potential, although it wasn't nearly as fleshed out as I would have liked it to be. The plot, apart from establishing the insta-love, doesn't completely kick into gear until about a third of the way in.
If you liked the official summary for the book (and enjoyed books that are similar to this), then you'll like The Gathering Dark. If not, then I don't think this book will surprise you.
