Dead and the Dark

I don't read too many horror books so I was excited to get approved for the audio of The Dead and the Dark. I really enjoyed the story and liked that there wasn't just paranormal instances throughout the book but that there were mysteries as well.

I thought the author did a good job of portraying small town prejudices. I appreciated the relationship between Logan and her new friend Ashley who is one of the town locals. I felt like they balanced each other out and showed that not all people in the town were small minded. I think they both learned a lot about themselves from each other and I enjoyed that.

I thought the author did well at portraying family dynamics. Logan has always gotten along with her dad Alejo but has always felt her dad Brandon to be more of a mystery. They don't fully connect and it isn't until they go back to her father's home town of Snake Bite that she learns a lot more about both her dads, and herself.

I enjoyed this book and definitely recommend the audio for those who are avid listeners.
