Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Dead and the Dark was another eARC miss for me. I really want to read this book, but I have trouble with some eARCs and I feel so bad for giving it a 1 star, but I didn't finish it.

However, when this book comes out in August, I WILL be buying it and reading it. From the 25% that I did read, I LOVED it. The characters, the atmosphere, everything was amazing!! I'm sad I couldn't read it as an eARC but I will be in August, or I will wait until October because it has such a spooky atmosphere!!

For the characters, I love the gay dads aspect of it. It's the first time I've seen same-sex parents in a book (that I can think of) and it was so fun! There are also other LGBTQ characters, but I didn't read enough to really talk about it.

I can't wait to get a physical copy and read it fully, and (hopefully) give it 5 stars!
