A good read with an interesting storyline and plot.

The characters were good, didn't keep me on the edge of my seat but a good read overall.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for this ARC which I can recommend.

The dark night in question is Halloween, when a group of pupils from a private school heads to the supposedly haunted woods for a party, and one of them dies.
The story is told in real time, and from various perspectives, mainly Ellie, a pupil at the party, Rachel, her mother who is a counsellor at the school, and Ben, a detective who is Rachel’s estranged husband and Ellie’s father.
All the main characters have their own demons, there are secrets, drugs, modern angst in the form of social media, as well as stories of ghosts.
It moved along at a great pace, with well-drawn sympathetic characters, and lots of false leads. I read the final section with bated breath, and wasn’t disappointed by the ending.

Thanks to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster UK for the opportunity to read this book.

I don’t know what I was expecting, there was no description.

This book is probably a little too predictable for most longtime thriller readers but there is a good twist.

I think my recommendation would be mainly for those new to the genre who enjoy fast pace thrills.

I thought I knew where the plot was going and I was a bit sad that it was so easy to guess, but I'm happy to say that the twist was amazing. I really liked the story.
