Sweetest Darkness is the perfect introduction to YA horror! It’s the perfect amount of suspense with a creepy creature. While I would consider this more suspense than horror, it was still an interesting and enjoyable read!

These characters were easy to feel for, especially Quinn. Selena and June were also incredible. I loved the complexity of Ollie, his character really stood out to me. The plot was intriguing and kept me interested all the way until the last page! I do wish Kit was featured a little more, especially considering he’s very relevant to the plot. 

Overall, this was still a chilling and fun read! Thank you NetGalley and Holiday House for the arc! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
