A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
4.0
dark mysterious fast-paced

One heck of a debut right here, folks!
.
I needed a thriller to break up some of the holiday cheesiness I've been consuming, and A Flicker in the Dark ended up being exactly the answer! A solid, bingeable thriller with good writing and some great twists! I didn't find anything about the story to be uber ground-breaking or even especially unique, but I couldn't put the book down and enjoyed making hypotheses throughout! To me, that's the mark of a good thriller!
.
This is Willingham's debut novel and I am totally impressed! Her writing is very atmospheric and chilling, and that was one of my favorite parts of the book! There were a few spots in the novel that I needed to turn more lights - creeptastic for sure! I can't wait to see what she writes next!
