Light Up the Dark by Suki Fleet
4.0

A cast of very well rounded characters in a dark and intriguing story.
I loved the kids just as much -if not more- than the adults, but each relationship dynamic was very good. I still feel like it could have been deeper though, especially as there was a hint of a found-family aspect that could have been talked about more powerfully.

The mystery element was a little confusing to me at times and by the end it still felt a little incomplete. Which is fine sometimes, but here it felt like certain things were still confusing because there would be more stories within this world that would complete the mystery. I felt like it was opening up a book around V. and maybe even G., but also maybe more backstory on Loz and their family?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the writer has planned more books with these characters.

Anyway, altogether I really enjoyed the book and I'm starting to get a sense of the kind of books Suki Fleet writes, and I'm all here for it.
