The Darkdeep by Brendan Reichs, Ally Condie
3.0
I received this ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Nico is an outcast in his town, ever since his forest ranger father stood up for nature, causing the town’s economy to take a great hit. When Nico is flying his drone plane with the few of the friends he has left, the town bullies take the plane from him and send it into the mysterious mist in the woods. Nico is desperate to find his plane, so he enters the mist as well. When he disappears, his friends and bullies set out to rescue him. The group meets up and uncovers an abandoned boat, with many different curiosities. The group finds that when they enter a mysterious well, fantasy creatures begin showing up on the island. Nico and co. are excited to figure out what is going on, but they want to keep everything a secret. Weird continues to get weirder, when the fantasy beasts start taking on a sinister turn.
This novel is comparable to Goosebumps. It is less scary and more intriguing. I enjoyed the characters and the premise.
