Avery Bishop crafts a dark and mesmerizing story that showcases both the best and worst in humanity. The Girls in the Dark is a gripping tale of abuse, violence, and secrets that will leave you breathless at the end.
Megan Hadley is a survivor. She and her sister Allison were abducted and tortured by a serial killer who targets twins. Megan lived to tell the tale of how she escaped the clutches of evil. But as famous as she’s gotten, she’s caught the eye of her past. Is Allison really gone, or is she coming back to air the dirty secret that has made Megan so famous?
The narrative seeps into your bones with its eerie and sinister twists and turns. It’s crazy genius how Bishop makes the narrative feel off-center, making you wonder just what it is that feels wrong, and it only builds more and more with each new revelation until a major breakthrough. The horror and trauma are presented with its due respect, raw and powerful but not overly graphic; strengthening the core of the narrative without weighing down on you.
The winding path to the truth is far more rewarding when experienced with as little insight into the plot as possible. The Girls in the Dark stands out as one of the darkest and bestest dramatic thrillers in recent memory.
