The Dead and the Dark
by Courtney Gould
3.5 ⭐️ Ghost hunters, a missing teen, a sinister presence and a haunted town!
This was an eerie, ominous story with supernatural elements. Gould takes fear of the dark and works it in with such creepy tension into this story that you can’t help but feel uneasy as you read. I did this on audio and it was definitely a creepy book.
There was a lot happening here - queer dads, lesbians, ghosts, family secrets, judgmental townsfolk, a town called Snakebite and so much emotion. I’m hesitant to share much of the plot because this is definitely the kind of story best left to unfold naturally as you read. I enjoyed how Gould delves into the topics of grief, family and LGBTQ acceptance, along with the dark paranormal aspects.
An entertaining read but I felt the twists were predictable and things were never fully explained. The vagueness works with the paranormal aspect but I can’t help but want to make sense of things. Still, this would be a fun one to read this fall during Halloween season!
