Publishers Weekly wrote that Unger "expertly turns what could have been a routine serial-killer story into a haunting odyssey for Annie, dropping red herrings and clues along the way until the reader feels as unsettled as Annie."[2] Joanna Hines of The Guardian called it a "welcome addition to the kind of crime fiction American writers do so well: larger than life, pacy, with flashes of humour and wisdom, and gripping to the end."[3] Allison Block of the Booklist wrote that Unger "makes up for an occasionally awkward narrative with the compelling character of Annie: dark, troubled, and teetering on the brink."[4]
Black Out was selected as a Today show "Top 10" Summer Read, a BookSense Notable, won the Silver Medal for popular fiction in the 2008 Florida Book Awards and was a finalist in the 2009 Prix Polar International award.[1]
