A Step Past Darkness by Vera Kurian is an emotional thriller with elements of the supernatural. Six classmates in a town that seems idyllic witness a horrific tragedy, twenty years later when one of them is found dead they all come back to finish this once and for all. 

This is definitely more character-driven I would say than plot driven. I was so hooked within the first couple of chapters. I loved how it all played out and connected with the dual timelines. It was interesting to see how they had changed but also were still them. 

The suspenseful thriller with some supernatural elements was just the right amount. I thought it was quite brilliant how the author tied everything together. 

I loved how they all came together and had that found family vibe! 

I would recommend this to those who enjoy thrillers with supernatural sprinkles, dual timelines, and a satisfying ending.
