The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould

5.0

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own!

I don’t know if I have words? I love dark and twisty, but this was next level.
TW: child death, talk of death

This was absolutely spell binding. I was encapsulated from the first chapter. The concept behind this book is so different and so well executed. Also the yearning? Top notch. I can’t get over that. The tropes within this book are very specific, but right up my alley.

This book follows Logan as she heads with Alejo, one of her fathers, to meet her other father Brandon in their hometown Snakebite. But, going home brings darkness and it doesn’t seem as if there’s any light in sight.

What beautiful character building. Each one of these characters were complex, but understandable. The plot was well thought out and executed. The words flowed well together, connecting the characters, the plot and everything in between. I absolutely ADORED this!

Gays ghost hunting? Yeah. Sign me up. Every single time.
