The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley and Wednesday Books for this arc!
The Dead and the Dark was a perfectly creepy and dark book that I definitely needed right now! Missing teenagers, ghost hunting dads, a lurking darkness in the woods near an abandoned cabin, family secrets, teenagers trying to solve this mystery, a town with a name like Snakebite - basically everything I love. There were times I had to put this away for the night because I was alone and actually creeped out. The beginning was a little slow, and the ending was a little too perfect for me, but the whole middle part was SO GOOD. I really liked both Ashley and Logan and thought their character development was very well done. The family dynamic was so sad in the beginning but very heartwarming at the end too (but also hella dark).
This comes out on 08/03 and would be a PERFECT YA thriller to get you in the fall mood. Definitely need more from this author - her next book according to GR comes out in 2022 (Echo Sunset) and is described as a supernatural thriller following 2 sisters as they are lead to an isolated town in ARIZONA (neeeeeed).
