This was an intense read, and I was very into it. The whole character of The Dark could have been confusing and contrived, but I thought it was written so so well. All of the characters were really well-developed, and I can't wait to read more from this author. Plus,

f yeah the girlies getting together!

I love ghosts, I love gay people, I love

evil supernatural mind control

. What more could I want? 
I wasn't a huge fan of the audiobook narrator's tone, but I got past that eventually. Logan's dads were the best part of the book, I loved whenever they were in a scene. Gay rights and dead kids!
