Review of 'Burn the Dark' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I didn't realize I was a fan of horror until recently. So while this book isn't my usual cup of tea, after having devoured The Whirlwind in the Thorn Tree and the rest of that series, I decided to see what this series was about.

I'll admit, it took me a bit to settle into the setting and characters, find my groove with the flow of the book. But once I did, it was a quick run to the finish and I'm looking forward to what's in store for everyone in the next book.

If you're looking for a bit of dark urban fantasy steeped in the South and with a diverse (and well-represented) cast, Burn the Dark ticks a ton of boxes and tells a compelling story while it's at it.
