The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould
5.0
**Spoilers**
This book was amazingly written. During chapter 17 I started to piece together about Logan a bit by the fact that it mentioned he came up as a ghost and not a human. But I had no idea the sheriff would be the one selfish enough to kill all those kids. And he seriously thought he'd get away with it in the end. It was an amazing ending and a really great book. I loved reading every page. It was so good I stayed up all night to finish it once I got really into it. The book was amazing and took so many twists and turns you never knew what was going to happen next. The characters had real raw reactions to everything that could be seen as realistic too. They didn't just act normal when they'd just had an argument, that's something that really bothers me in books. When people give them stupid reactions and suddenly they're friends again. This book didn't do that, they worked through the problems and didn't just ignore it. The whole concept of the Dark was really interesting. Brandon carried it for so long, and when it realized he wasn't going to stay in a town long enough for it to find any hatred, it left and found someone else to do its bidding. It was so interesting to read through everything, and usually I hate those stupid backstories because they take so long and have nothing to do with the plot, but this one was really well-written and did actually affect the plot. If Brandon hadn't told Ashley it probably would have changed a lot of things. She wouldn't have understood and probably wouldn't have stayed with Logan the way she did. The whole world was against them and they still stuck it out and got together in the end. It was a really cute ending how they got to be together doing what they wanted to. And Logan finally got the closure about her dad Brandon being so far from her almost her entire life.
