If you think you already see where this one is headed, boy are you wrong.
Sharon is poor but talented, so talented musically that she has been accepted to Juilliard. Fall into Darkness begins with a bang, with Sharon McKay on trial for the murder of her best friend, Ann Rice. The only difference is that here, the setting is updated, and the characters are younger, just on the cusp of real adulthood - if they survive. In many ways, this plays out like a very old soft noir, black and white drama from the Golden Age of film. Even that seems a slight, because Fall into Darkness is so entertaining, so enthralling, perhaps the term classic shouldn’t be prefaced by the young adult label. Christopher Pike wrote this in 1990 and I have no qualms about calling this a young adult classic. This is so good it’s difficult to know where to begin.
Or who loved what.” - Attorney John Richmond to Sharon McKay
