4.0

“After thirteen years, the Dark has finally come home.”

This novel's title couldn't be more apt.

A haunting and achingly lonely story, about hatred and prejudice and all the evil the dark reveals that is burned away in the light.

I couldn’t tear my eyes away as the narrative twisted and turned into the depths of what lurks in the dark corners of a small town. As Gould refused to back away from the things that go bump in the night.

A story that aches and shocks and yet somehow is full of love and family and how it feels to finally belong.

A sapphic love story between two lost souls in search of answers, no matter what they may find.
