I really enjoyed this book. My goal was to read to the halfway point today and then finish it tomorrow, but I was caught up in the mystery and relationships and ended up reading the entire book in one day.
There is so much to like here; complicated family relationships, friendships, the claustrophobic small town setting, the paranormal touches. Plus the two main characters POVs were very relatable. Would definitely recommend. ( )

A very different kind of paranormal story: ghost hunters, family, death, fear, anger, longing, uncertainty all wrapped up in a place called Snakebite, where teens have gone missing and the Dark is seeking a way to tear everyone in the town apart. However, the Dark comes from a deep depression, an anger of not belonging, accepted for who you are. The Dark is a result of a lack of understanding and acceptance. This was definitely a page turner, one that will keep you reading long into the night. ( )
Im glad I didnt see the book description before starting this because no way I would have read something described as a cross between Stephen King and RIverdale...
But in any case it was a pretty good read. The mystery was on the weaker side imo but strong characters and atmosphere. ( )
