Thank you St. Martins Press  for my Netgalley copy of DARK CORNERS by Megan Goldin, out 8/8/2023.

I loved the Rachel Krall novel #1, The Night Swim, and I SUPER loved this follow-up to it!! Give me all the Rachel Krall books!!! I want 17,482 books with this character. Make Megan Goldin the new James Patterson, please please please. After recently reading PEOPLE TO FOLLOW, I love the inclusion of influencers in thrillers! It makes for fun and dramatic reading, and the twist in this is shockingly gripping.

Compared to the first book, I loved the addition of romance. I was so nervous of this inclusion (I hate when women sleep with a man and then find out he’s a killer after having such enticing intuition the rest of the novel) so I’m glad they didn’t go that route. 

I also liked how spicy Rachel was in this book compared to the first. She takes no ones shit and is incredibly sassy at times. I feel like we go to know her more as a character instead of just a bystander to the crime. She’s a whole piece to the puzzle as we uncover the story. 

This book is EXTREMELY readable - I read it in less than 2 days! I’ve said it a hundred times, but I will read anything Megan Goldin reads. Big thanks to the publisher for giving me early access to one of my fave authors!

Highly recommend checking this one out after you read The Night Swim (but it can also be read as a standalone!).
