We call it the Dark Place. I don’t know who built it or when but, for us, it’s special.
Every year Sam Hall and his friends hold funerals for their secrets in an abandoned hut in the woods that they call the Dark Place. But this year, their secrets are coming back from the dead...to terrorize them.
Sam is a former child star whose career went up in flames – literally. And no one, not even his best friend knows why. His friends each hold a secret pertaining to the night. A secret they would all like buried.
Now someone from the past is blackmailing them with their dangerous secrets. Sam isn’t sure who he can trust, who’s watching him – or how far he’s willing to go to bury the past once and for all.
When you’re alone in the dark, some things won’t stay hidden.

3.5 stars!!!
This was a fun YA thriller and although I didn't absolutely love it, it's definitely because I'm not the intended audience. I found myself frustrated with all of the characters for just not calling the police when someone started threatening them, blackmailing them, then eventually trying to kill them. Otherwise, I had a fun time trying to figure out what was REALLY going on and was caught offguard when it was revealed. If this had come out when I was a teenager, I would have raved about this! But as an adult, it's becoming more and more difficult to get past the “stupid teenagers will be stupid teenagers” trope.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review
