The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould

4.5

 The Dead and the Dark is a slow paced, creepy paranormal story set in the small, secretive town of Snakebite, Oregon, with a bit of teenage sapphic romance thrown in. I really enjoyed the slow pace and thought it felt just right for the story, and the twists were interesting. Ashley and Logan, whose perspectives we're seeing the story from, are both interesting and fairly well rounded, although to me the other characters were more one dimensional.

I would have liked to have seen a bit more of Ashley coming to terms with her attraction to Logan, and the resolution happened more quickly than I would have liked given the overall pace of the story. Overall this is a really strong debut from Courtney Gould, and I'll definitely look into her newer books.
