About this listen

"Nankani channels every teen character - whether perky nerd, cool dude, or shy girl - and imbues the adults with memorable characterizations to match their strong personalities, making this an absorbing and fun listen." (AudioFile Magazine)

"Imagine Riverdale crossing streams with Stephen King's The Outsider and you'll get a sense of this gripping supernatural mystery...Gould's debut begins as a snappy paranormal yarn and unspools into a profound story about the complex interplay between grief, guilt, and identity." (Oprah Daily)

Courtney Gould’s thrilling YA debut The Dead and the Dark is about the things that lurk in dark corners, the parts of you that can’t remain hidden, and about finding home in places - and people - you didn’t expect.

The Dark has been waiting - and it won't stay hidden any longer.

Something is wrong in Snakebite, Oregon. Teenagers are disappearing, some turning up dead, the weather isn’t normal, and all fingers point to TV’s most popular ghost hunters who have just come to town.

Logan Ortiz-Woodley, daughter of TV's ParaSpectors, has never been to Snakebite before. But the moment she and her dads arrive, she starts to get the feeling that there's more than ghosts plaguing this small town. Ashley Barton’s boyfriend was the first teen to go missing, and she’s felt his ghost following her ever since. Although everyone shuns the Ortiz-Woodleys, the mysterious Logan may be the only person who can help Ashley get some answers.

When Ashley and Logan team up to figure out who - or what - is haunting Snakebite, their investigation reveals truths about the town, their families, and themselves that neither of them are ready for. As the danger intensifies, they realize that their growing feelings for each other could be a light in the darkness

Lacking

I heard about this novel on many platforms and was intrigued. The setup at the beginning was good but the rest fell short. Most of the relationships feel surface. Some deaths in the novel really didn’t hit me with shock because the character development was not there for us to really be invested in the shock of the event. I got 3/4 in and still found myself bored. The reader of the novel was decent.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
