Meet the author - Darcy Coates

Today marks the release of Darcy Coates’ new book, and I’m so thrilled I got to experience it with her! One of my favorite moments was during her interview when she casually said, “and a ghost just pops out” such a perfect Darcy moment. 👻 I’ve collected so many of her books over the years and even had the chance to get them all signed, which makes them extra special. If you love spooky, atmospheric reads, I can’t recommend her enough!

The best YA Horror book to come out in recent year
This book had me on the EDGE of my seat!! Darcy Coates does a wonderful job of combining different aspects of literature, breaking it up into digestible pieces, while also weaving a wonderful web of a story. I won’t explain too much, and despite how thick it is I was done reading it in one sitting!
